	Over the past century, countless medical advances have revolutionized the field of modern medicine
		However, the use of animals in the testing of treatments before they are used in human trials helps reduce these risks a great deal.
		While preliminary tests may be done only using tissue samples from an animal, the overall effect of a treatment can not be determined by the use of in vitro testing.
		Animal testing is vital to the advancement of medicine and has made current products safe for human use.

		Animal rights advocates argue that sentient animals have a right to their own life; they are not ours to do with as we please.
		We work to replace animals tests with non-animal methods whenever possible, to reduce the number of animals used, and to refine test methods to minimize or eliminate pain and distress for the animals.
		This test was the subject of a major protest campaign in 1980, which ultimately led to substantial changes in the cosmetics industry and to greatly increased efforts toward the development of non-animal alternatives.

		The Workshop was chaired by Margot van der Kamp of the Netherlands Centre for Alternatives to Animal Use (NCA), and funded by ECVAM (The European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods).
		The Center (AWIC) was established by the United States Congress in 1986 with the mandate to acquire and disseminate information on alternatives and improved methodologies for the humane care, use, and handling of all animals in research, testing, and education.
		The UC Center for Animal Alternatives serves the animal care community of the University of California's nine campuses and laboratories, focussing mainly on alternatives in education and the issues surrounding the third R, Refinement.

	Development of Alternatives to Animal Use for Safety Testing and Hazard Assessment, continued.
		A few studies indicated that some animal tests were not as reliable as predictors of human response as was commonly assumed (Weil and Scala, 1971).
		This group, The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing or CAAT, began sponsoring symposia and workshops to bring together researchers interested in pursuing alternatives research.
		Rowan, at that time Director of the Center for Animals and Public Policy at Tufts University, had already created a group composed of both animal protectionists and scientists to further dialogue and to identify common ground.

		Alternative tests are now available for skin corrosion, phototoxicity, genotoxicity, acute oral toxicity (in vivo), skin sensitisation (in vivo) and developmental toxicity.
		On the medium term (2006) alternatives are expected for eye irritation, skin irritation (in vitro and in silico), skin sensitisation (in vitro), acute oral toxicity (in silico) and genotoxicity (in silico).
		From 5 to 6 April 2002, a workshop on "The alternatives to the use of animals in higher education" was held in the beautiful city at the Adriatic coast, Piran, in Slovenia.

	Statement by CAAT
		A 1970 amendment to the original 1966 Act defines the term "animal" to include dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, "or such other warm-blooded animal." USDA regulations, however, specifically exclude "birds, rats of the genus Rattus, and mice of the genus Mus bred for use in research" in their definition.
		The numbers of animals can be reduced, however, and experimental methods refined to minimize pain and distress for the animals.
		Without a reliable accounting of these animals, there is no way to monitor progress in reducing their numbers.

		The Tamarind Fund and the Mollylou Foundation have donated more than $800,000 to the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing to establish a grants program focused on pain assessment and management in laboratory animals.
		Decreasing pain and distress associated with the use of laboratory animals is an important goal for scientists as well as for activists.
		An animal in pain--just like a human being--can differ in a variety of ways from an animal that is pain-free, Goldberg explains.

	To claim the birds, rats and mice don't need the Animal Welfare Act is nonsense!
		In 1970, the AWA was specifically amended to protect all “warm-blooded animals” used in research, but regulations promulgated excluded rats, mice and birds.
		For institutions that are already providing basic, sound animal care, husbandry and oversight of all of their animal-based research, the costs for implementation will be minimal.
		Both NIH and the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, International (AAALAC) have repeatedly stated that they are not enforcement agencies.
