General Information about Animal Research

What if there had been no animal research in years past? What if animals were no longer available for ongoing biomedical research? What effect would it have on our society...on our lives and the lives of our families, friends and neighbors...on the lives of those with illnesses for which there are still no treatments, no cures?

The means to cure, treat and prevent diseases are not achieved by magic or accident. Medical advances are gained through years of intensive research -- research in which laboratory animals have played and continue to play a critical role.
