Over 150,000 animals are used in research, teaching and testing in post-secondary education and training every year in Canada with approximately one third subjected to extremely painful procedures.
In a survey that was commissioned by the Alliance of Canada Fund (AAC Fund) in January 2023, it was revealed that:
– 82% of Canadians believe more should be done to reduce the use of animals in education and training.
– 78% of Canadians want the practice of pound seizure stopped, (pound seizure is the taking of dogs and cats from pounds and shelters.)
– 75% of Canadians feel there should be consequences for institutions that continue to approve the use of animals when alternatives exist.
