Petition to the House of Commons
- The Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) certified institutions used 4,308,921 animals for research in 2016, an increase of 20.7% over 2015;
- The CCAC is responsible for 'maintaining high standards' of animal care and they assess institutions who research on animals and certify those who meet their standards;
- Certified institutions have committees that are responsible for overseeing all aspects of animal care;
- In 2016, an undercover investigation released footage at ITR lab which is graphic, self explanatory and can be viewed online, and in 2017, W5 revealed what went on inside an animal research lab;
- There's no transparency to the number of research facilities who had similar alleged incidents nor how many facilities were denied certification; and
- Millions of innocent animals have no choice but to unwillingly give their lives to so-called research, and until animal research no longer exists, research animals need our voice.
