Draize: A Blueprint For Change, Henry Spira

Draize Test Campaign

As coordinator, I prepared the following pages for the campaign to abolish the Draize rabbit blinding test.

Homeless Cats And Dogs Are Suffering And Dying

Close Up Reports

The Institute for the Study of Animal Problems [ISAP]

The origins of the concept of "alternatives" to the use of animals in research may be traced back to the 1800's and the furore about using live animals in surgical and other experiments. Some of the animal protection societies in England were prepared to accept animal experimentation provided it was performed under anesthesia. Even Dr. Marshall Hall, who championed the spread of experimental medicine in 19th century England, considered it necessary to control and prevent unwarranted, inept and cruel experimentation (French, 1975).
