Thank you, Scott, for your question. While there may not be explicit public statements from RFK specifically advocating for an end to animal testing, the perspective shared in my article is based on his broader advocacy for transparency, accountability, and ethical practices.
RFK has a long history of challenging corporate interests that harm animals, the environment, and public health. He took legal action against factory farming giants like Smithfield Foods, exposing the environmental and ethical abuses inherent in industrial agriculture. His willingness to confront powerful industries demonstrates his commitment to reforming harmful systems.
This track record suggests RFK could bring a similar level of scrutiny to animal testing practices if given the opportunity. The article reflects an optimistic view of how his leadership might influence the direction of scientific research toward more humane and ethical alternatives. Time will tell.
Christine, thank you for sharing your concerns about Envigo. You're right—what was exposed at their Beagle breeding facility was horrific, and it’s deeply troubling to think they may still be operating under the radar. The lack of transparency in this industry is a major issue, and it underscores the need for stronger oversight and accountability. Investigating these practices and pushing for humane alternatives to animal testing is critical. Thank you for raising awareness about this important issue!
Interesting perspective on RFK. I’m going to send positive energy into the universe in support of those ideas!
Me too!
I can't find any reporting on RFK voicing support for ending animal testing? Is this just wishful thinking?
