Im Artikel „Reformideen zur Tierversuchspraxis“ der Laborjournal-Ausgabe 03/26 legt eine Forschergruppe Vorschläge zur Neujustierung von #Tierversuchsgenehmigungen vor. Ob sie überzeugen, beurteilten für uns Genehmigungsbehörden, Juristen und Tierschützerinnen.
Die zugehörigen schriftlichen #Stellungnahmen sowie eine Reihe weiterer Zuschriften findet ihr in unserem #Blog: https://www.laborjournal.de/blog/
