Animals in Research and Teaching
At what stage of development do animals become sentient?
Animal sentience is the capacity of an animal to experience different feelings such as suffering or pleasure.
How many animals are used in research in Australia?
Unlike some other countries, Australia does not publish the number of animals used in research, testing and teaching each year and so this makes it very difficult to identify reductions or trends in the number of animals used.
What is the Animal Research Openness Agreement and why is it important?
There is increasing community concern regarding the use of animals in research, and yet there is limited information available to the public about how and why animals are used.
