US President Donald Trump PETA is rarely appreciated by animal advocacy groups, after the announcement of the plan to phase the animal test. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Environment Protection Agency (EPA) have underlined changes that will transfer research practices towards modern, human options.
Senior Vice President in PETA, Kathy Guillermo called the FDA’s announcement “an important step” to eliminate harmful and old testing methods. He said, “PETA appreciated the FDA’s decision to harm animals and adopt human-epic testing strategies,” he said, Fox News said.
The group is urging a comprehensive commitment to end all government -funded animal experiments, including monkeys at the Primate Research Center.
The FDA planned to replace animal tests with devices such as human organoids and AI-based modeling developed in the laboratory. Commissioner Dr. Martin Makeri said that these approaches can reduce safety treatment, rapid drug approval and low cost – all can reduce all.
At the same time, EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced the reinstatement of the 2019 Trump-era direction to eliminate animal tests in EPA by 2035. According to EPA officials, the earlier policy under the Biden administration was slowed down. Zeldin promised to bring the agency “back on the track”.
However, the National Association for Biomedical Research warned that animal testing is necessary in some areas of drug development where technology cannot yet repeat complex biological reactions.
Trump had earlier mentioned that the taxpayer’s money was being wasted on unnecessary research. During a Congress address in March, the President said that the government had spent $ 8 million on “making mice transgender”.
According to a report by the White Kot West Project, the Watchdog group opposing the government -funded animal testing by the government, claiming that the taxpayer’s money was “ruined” over studying in laboratories of transgender mice, mice and universities.
