Today marks the 44th World Laboratory Animal Day, a significant international animal protection commemoration day initiated by the British Society Against Vivisection (NAVS) in 1979 and recognized by the United Nations. Celebrated annually on April 24th, with the week before and after designated as Experimental Animal Week.
As a third-party research service platform for medical devices, with preclinical animal trial research as one of its core businesses, East Point Medicine exemplifies its reverence for life in every aspect of its treatment of experimental animals. The dedicated employees of the Experimental Animal Center diligently attend to their responsibilities each day, providing meticulous care for the experimental animals. Their objective is to advocate for strict adherence to the "3R" principles (substitution, reduction, optimization) and conduct animal experiments in a scientific and humane manner.
Today, the East Point Medical Laboratory Animal Monument stands as a symbol of this commitment. Inscribed with the words "In commemoration of the experimental animals who have made contributions to the human medical cause," it serves as a solemn reminder for life science professionals to cherish and respect the invaluable contributions of experimental animals. It calls upon them to uphold principles of animal ethics and prioritize the welfare of all living beings.
