Good News: Europe spares animals from cruel repeat tests

Europe has passed a new law that blocks repeat animal experiments when chemical safety information already exists.
Safety findings for a chemical are now shared across agencies rather than starting new animal experiments each time the name or use changes.
Missing files no longer cost animals their lives.
For years, dogs, rabbits, and mice were pulled into experiments not because answers were missing, but because information was scattered.
Dogs were restrained and force-fed substances that caused seizures and organ damage.
Rabbits had chemicals pressed into their eyes until burning and blindness followed.
Those repeated experiments are now blocked by law.
Several countries, including the European Union, India, Israel, and New Zealand, have banned animal testing for cosmetics.
However, those same rules did not protect animals when they were used for another purpose.
A substance forced into a dog’s body for one purpose could later be pushed into rabbits’ eyes or fed to mice for another review, even when the results were already known.
Europe’s new policy stops that from happening.
Results from chemical testing must now be used across food, medicine, pesticides, toys, and everyday products, removing the excuse to repeat animal experiments.
That means animals can no longer be hurt simply because one office could not see another office’s files.
Every time harm is blocked before it starts, more animals get a chance to live safely.
Suffering multiplies when nothing stops it.
Homeless dogs and cats face that same unending cycle, with each new litter adding another generation to overcrowded streets.
The world's 600 million stray dogs and 87 million stray cats give birth to more than 1 billion homeless puppies and kittens each year.
Tragically, those who survive also reproduce and give birth to another generation of homeless strays - thus repeating the cycle of suffering, every year, leading to endless generations of suffering.
This is why we are developing a one-time, permanent-lasting, birth control Cookie that, when eaten, will spay or neuter a homeless dog or cat without surgery, to end the overpopulation crisis.
You can help the next street dog before they are born into the same misery, starting at just $5 a month.
Thank you for caring and for helping animals.
