Replacing Animal Research

Formerly FRAME.
New look, new name, same mission: a world where no animal suffers for science.

[Replacing Animal Research @ReplAnimalRes]

You might have known us as FRAME (Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments) but now it's time to (re)introduce ourselves:

Hi, we're Replacing Animal Research!

New name, new look, same mission: a better world for animals and humans.

[CrustaceanCompassion @crab_welfare]

🚨 Three years ago, decapod crustaceans (including crabs, lobsters, prawns & nephrops) were recognised in UK law as sentient beings – capable of experiencing pain, stress, and suffering.

❌ Yet, shockingly, they are still excluded from the Animal Welfare Act 2006. This means there is currently no duty of care to protect them - leaving thousands of animals vulnerable every year.

📢 Together with 12 other animal protection organisations, we’ve written an open letter to Baroness Sue Hayman, DEFRA Minister for Animal Welfare, urging the government to take the vital next step:

👉 include decapods in the Animal Welfare Act. It's time to ensure the law reflects the science - and that these animals finally receive the protection they deserve. 🦀🦞

As part of this vision, they share the view that conditions artificially created in animals living in laboratory conditions cannot offer true insight into the disease and support the replacement of the use of animals as experimental ‘models.’

[Replacing Animal Research @ReplAnimalRes]

This week our Head of Policy and Programmes, Amy Beale, attended the @HumanimalTrust's 10th anniversary event, ‘One Medicine - Time to Innovate, Time to Act.’

[Replacing Animal Research @ReplAnimalRes]

The charity is calling for a more unified approach to research that benefits human and veterinary medicine development.
