🐟Our latest study has revealed a shocking number of #fish used for chemical testing in the #EU - despite rules to use #animaltesting only as a last resort. With the upcoming revision of EU's chemical law, #REACH, it's time to adopt #animal-free methods! Read more: www.humaneworld.org/en/news/hund...

When the crates busted open on that Mississippi freeway, several monkeys inside experienced a brief moment of freedom… before they were hunted. FULL STORY: riseforanimals.org/news/hunted

Monkeys Headed for Lab Hunted with Assault Rifles, Killed
After a transport truck crashed, several monkeys escaped to experience moments of quasi-freedom—and some to experience the last moments of their lives.

☠️ The “lethal dose” test was first introduced in 1927 to determine the amount of a chemical or substance that kills 50% of a group of animals. It is still in use despite progress in animal-free science. As the #EU prepares to update its chemicals law, REACH, we can end LD tests for good.
