United Kingdom Announces New Center
for Animal Research Alternatives
The U.K. government has developed plans for the National Centre
for Replacement of Animals in Experiments (NCRAE). NCRAE’s
mission is to promote and coordinate efforts to advance the three
R’s of animal use in medical research—replacement, reduction,
and refinement. On the surface, this looks like a positive step.
However, it appears that NCRAE will actually be funding animal experiments
to compare various methods. PCRM holds that the U.K. government
should place more emphasis on Replacement, which, unlike Reduction
and Refinement, involves new ideas and approaches, and represents
the most progressive change for animals.
