Historic day! Govt of Canada passed new law that will pave the way to end toxicity testing in animals! Huge thanks to all MPs/senators & all the groups, including our ED, who worked so hard to make this happen! #canada #cdnpoli #21stcentury #science #innovation #ethics

Canada has made major moves toward phasing out unnecessary and cruel toxicity testing on animals. Now the federal government needs to fund those working on alternative methods, like @CCAAM_CaCVAM. My latest for @globeandmail: https://t.co/UYS3eErD8o

The reliance on animals in both drug and toxicity testing is cruel, ineffective and archaic – an old model in desperate need of modernization

Today is the 10th anniversary of the historic, standard-setting EU #cosmetic #animaltesting ban!  A whole decade and 40+ countries later, Canada is yet to follow suit! Time for @CanadianPM @liberal_party to fulfil platform promise to end cosmetic animal testing by 2023!
