After
decades of effort by animal rights activists,
the FDA has finally signaled that it wants to
end testing on animals. This is potentially a huge
victory, and will save thousands of animals from the
awful poking and prodding of current testing practices.
But the agency has not set a timeline on this, and has
only requested $5 million dollars in its upcoming year
budget to research how to make this shift.
As
one of the richest countries in the history of the
planet, and with so many technological resources
available to us, there is no reason we need to continue
to test on animals. In fact, the FDA has
even cited that the aim of the shit is to "produce
findings that are more relevant to humans" and "reduce
costs," shutting down any arguments that testing on
mice, rabbits, or other living things is economical or
necessary.

end
