Support the Defense of Non-Human Primate Research in Belgium
Dec 02, 2013
The Belgian government is petitioning the European Commission to allow it to forbid addiction research on nonhuman primates in Belgium and possibly stop non-human primate research completely. The Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) is circulating a petition in support of research involving non-human primates, asking “that the Belgian authorities comply with the 2010 EU Directive allowing basic and clinical research peer-reviewed projects that involve nonhuman primates and that adhere to the animal welfare regulations stipulated in that Directive, and refrain from more extreme and restrictive actions that will impair scientific and medical progress.”
