Institutional animal care and use committees and the challenges of evaluating animal research proposals
No full textIn the U.S. and many other countries, oversight committee approval is a common requirement for conducting research and publishing its findings. However, in evaluating whether research aims could have been achieved by methods other than the use of animals, these committees face a challenging task. In the U.S., there is no requirement that committee members have expertise in the research areas under review or in methods that could replace animal use, nor could expertise in such vast technical areas be expected. Consideration of alternatives to painful procedures is not required at all for experiments on animals not covered by the Animal Welfare Act. Funding institutions and scientific journals should not use institutional committee approval of submissions as evidence of adherence to ethical guidelines beyond those legally required. Suggestions for more robust consideration of nonanimal methods and improvements in the review process are provided
From Performative to Transformative: Navigating Equity & Inclusion Across a Diverse Animal Advocacy Movement
No full textThe purpose of this study is to understand how animal advocates and non-advocates who are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC), along with leaders of U.S. farmed animal advocacy organizations, perceive inclusion in the U.S. farmed animal protection movement. Based on interviews with BIPOC and non-BIPOC participants, we aim to identify potential opportunities and barriers for the creation of a more inclusive farmed animal protection movement
Exploring The Impacts Of Food System Education: A Case Study
No full textThis case study, involving qualitative and quantitative methods, explores the long-term impacts of an education program that trains students in effective communication, advocacy, and leadership skills to combat factory farming. The results from this study will shed light on the effectiveness and value of educational programs for the animal protection movement and for the students who partake in them
How AZA zoos and aquariums are helping to fill the gap
No full textOldfield & Bonano (2024) identify significant gaps in scientific knowledge about certain animal taxa, such as reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and fish. Despite some efforts, published literature remains limited, forcing decision-makers to rely more on experiential knowledge than scientific evidence. AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums are uniquely positioned to bridge these gaps and advance animal welfare science by fostering collaboration, building partnerships, and promoting multi-disciplinary approaches to welfare assessments
