DESCRIPTION:

World Week for Animals in Laboratories occurs the week of the United Nation's World Laboratory Animals Day, April 24. The goal of this week is to spotlight this issue and educate people about how animals are used in research, testing, and education.

The American Anti-vivisection Society notes the following:

"Nearly 20,000 cats were used in research in 2015, and thousands more were dissected in classrooms across the country.

In 2015, over 60,000 dogs were used in research and testing. Beagles are the most commonly used dog breed because of their size and temperament.

Pigs are used in many research areas, like cardiology, dermatology, xenotransplantation, and as surgical training models. Nearly 50,000 pigs were used in labs in 2015.

Primates are target species for drug testing, neurological studies, and infectious disease research. In 2015, labs housed over 105,000 primates, 62,000 of which were used in experiments."
