European Union Moves Closer to Ending Chemical Tests on Animals

The European Commission has published its “roadmap towards phasing out animal testing for chemical safety assessments,” signaling a clear shift towards a future in which chemical safety assessments rely on reliable and relevant non-animal approaches.

PETA U.K. scientists have been closely involved in shaping the roadmap from the start—for example, by participating in expert working groups and helping to organize and present at the workshops that informed the roadmap. The roadmap reflects what PETA scientists and other experts have long said: Non-animal methods can quickly, reliably, and accurately predict the effects of chemical exposure on humans.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
