Abstract

Animal experimentation has been one of the most controversial areas of animal use, mainly due to the intentional harms inflicted upon animals for the sake of hoped-for benefits in humans. Despite this rationale for continued animal experimentation, shortcomings of this practice have become increasingly more apparent and well-documented. However, these limitations are not yet widely known or appreciated, and there is a danger that they may simply be ignored. The 51 experts who have contributed to Animal Experimentation: Working Towards a Paradigm Change critically review current animal use in science, present new and innovative non-animal approaches to address urgent scientific questions, and offer a roadmap towards an animal-free world of science.

Cover illustration: Long-tailed macaque, Boo, was sent to an animal research laboratory in Europe together with her siblings, Betty and Baloo, where they were used in neurology experiments. Animal Defenders International rescued them in 2009 when they were due to be killed. They now live their lives free from suffering at Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary. We thank Australian contemporary realist artist, Anwen Keeling, for her kind contribution of the cover picture which she painted from a photograph taken by Animal Defenders International after Boo’s rescue.
