Scientists from Cruelty Free International revealed a new report about alternatives to animal testing at the World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in Prague, Czech Republic. Dr. Katy Taylor presented the ADAPT (Assessment, Decision, Acceptance, Policing and Transparency) report to attendees at a session on regulatory acceptance of alternative.
According to Dr. Taylor, “The ADAPT report is designed for regulatory bodies and policy makers to show them the steps they need to take to help the uptake of alternative methods. Our experiences with REACH, and other legislation that can lead to animal testing, are that alternative methods often get ‘stuck’ in the regulatory process because it is unclear who has responsibility for making sure they are used.”
