TODAY in front of the Ethiopian Embassy in Brussels: @flyethiopian has blood on their wings, flying terrified long-tailed macaques thousands of miles to laboratories where they’ll be tortured and killed. This exploitation must end!

[PETA UK @PETAUK]

TODAY IN BRUSSELS: We are calling out Ethiopian Airlines ✈️

@flyethiopian is flying monkeys to a certain death in laboratories.
Thousands of long-tailed macaques have been crammed into crates and flown 10,000+ miles to labs where they’re tortured and killed. This has to stop! 🛑

[PETA UK @PETAUK]

Today in Brussels: We talked about protecting the ban on animal testing for cosmetics at @Europarl_EN.
Huge THANK YOU to our host @MetzTilly , and to our speakers Donna McMillan from @ICCS_updates and Gavin Maxwell from @Unilever.

This damning verdict has made a mockery of the judicial system by effectively destroying the once groundbreaking EU ban on animal testing for cosmetics.

[PETA UK @PETAUK]

BREAKING: @EUCourtPress has ruled AGAINST cosmetics ingredients manufacturer Symrise AG.

In one fell swoop, the court has sentenced thousands of rats, rabbits, and fish to horrific suffering and certain death in cruel tests 😠

Happy to have attended yesterday’s ⁦@EPAA3Rs⁩ annual conference with the buzzword being #collaboration among all stakeholders.

The missing piece of the puzzle is a concrete roadmap with more than just defining a few milestones to phase out #animaltesting.

The European Food Safety Authority has published a new in silico approach, called TKPlate 1.0, that can model toxicokinetic and toxicodynamics in different species without the use of animals. 👇

In a new paper, @RodriguezP_Chri, et al. from @ibmbch discuss the transformation of the #3Rs definitions (Replace, Reduce, Refine) from the original ones introduced by Russell & Burch to the current 3Rs laws in 🇨🇭.

Why are animals still being used in experiments to study #diabetes? The answer is simple: out of habit.

So what is the alternative? There is a wealth of #crueltyfree, human-relevant #nonanimalmethods for diabetes research.👇

Pharmaceuticals are important contributors to climate change and biodiversity loss. We joined the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists Working Group on #sustainability to minimise the environmental pollution associated with medicines.

Waste contaminated with antimicrobials can reach our environment and contribute to antimicrobial resistance. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, learn how we're mobilising healthcare to enhance waste management practices to safeguard our health and environment: https://t.co/5MYLW2PvP2

“#AMR is possibly the next biggest threat to humanity.”

For #WAAW @nicustefanuta, vice-chair of the #MEPvsAMR interest group, warns about the dangers of ignoring the silent pandemic of AMR and calls for a united fight against the emerging silent pandemic.

[HCWH Europe @HCWHeurope]

Members of the MEP interest group on #AMR are united against the health threat of #AntimicrobialResistance. Follow #MEPvsAMR to see their message for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week #WAAW2022

Discover the role of sustainable procurement in curbing the threat of #AMR by encouraging responsible antimicrobial consumption in animal farming. Our procurement criteria for the #healthcare sector are now available in German and Italian: https://t.co/48mlxiBEy3

[HCWH Europe @HCWHeurope]

Through the revision of the EU #animalwelfare legislation, the @EU_Commission has an opportunity to improve animal wellbeing and curb the overuse of antibiotics in farming leading to the development and spread of #AMR.

Deze ochtend hebben we onze petitie tegen de jacht op 'Rode Lijst' -dieren ingediend bij de adviseur van het kabinet van Vlaams minister van Omgeving @Zu_Demir.

Het is volstrekt contradictorisch om de jacht op een diersoort die bedreigd is, te laten doorgaan. #bandejacht

[Animal Rights BE @AnimalRightsBE]

Animal Rights wil dat het elke dag #Dierendag is.
Geef jij morgen ook nog om dieren?
🐷 Kies (voortaan) plantaardig.
🐰Koop geen cosmetica die getest is op dieren of dierlijke bestanddelen bevat.
🦆Draag geen leer, bont, dons of wol.
🦊Kom op tegen jacht.

[Animal Rights BE @AnimalRightsBE]

💔In 2021 werden 100.652 #dierproeven uitgevoerd aan de #KULeuven. Dat is een stijging van 22% ten opzichte van 2020.

We roepen de universiteit op om geld en tijd te investeren in dierproefvrije technieken in plaats van verouderde en wrede dierproeven.

[Animal Rights BE @AnimalRightsBE]

Ooit deed deze wetenschapper zelf dierproeven...

Getuigenissen zoals deze zijn heel waardevol. Ze laten ons duidelijk zien dat niet alleen dierenvrienden maar ook meer en meer wetenschappers helemaal vanaf dierproeven af willen.

🐰Animal Rights heeft een online portaal waar iedereen vertrouwelijk melding kan maken.
🙏Deel deze link, dit kan het verschil maken voor de dieren die lijden in laboratoria!

[Animal Rights BE @AnimalRightsBE]

💔Deze wrede dierproef is niet vertaalbaar naar de werkelijke situatie bij de mens en had dus nooit mogen goedgekeurd worden.

⛔️Zulke dierproeven hoeven dan ook niet vervangen te worden. Ze moeten gewoon verboden worden!
