A UK petition demanding an immediate ban on using dogs in scientific and regulatory procedures has gained nearly 200,000 signatures. The petition highlights concerns over animal welfare, citing inhumane breeding conditions and harmful testing practices such as forced oral gavage. In 2023, thousands of dogs were used in experiments, many causing moderate to severe suffering. The petition argues that animal testing is not legally required in the UK and urges alternatives. Parliament will debate the issue soon.
