As one example, animal testing by Pfizer has led to the development of Rimadyl, a medication that has treated arthritis in over 2.5 million dogs. Many pharmaceutical companies are now also creating medicines specifically for animals. Animal research has even helped preserve endangered species such as the California condor. WABR believes an informed public will want to support continued progress in medical care based on animal research. I urge all Washington citizens to recognize the importance of appropriate and humane animal research in improving the health of all of us, and the animals we love.
