Stop testing pesticides on animals!


Stop testing pesticides on animals!
The Issue
https://pest-control.canada.ca/public-engagement-portal/en/forms/consultation-comment
These class E “dermal, inhaled, and oral” tests on animals with 100 times the human dose, are torture and in no way translate into human health. Cosmetic testing has bern banned in Canada, and animal toxicity testing for the environment is being phased out in Canada. Chemical pesticides are not needed. Please stop testing these obviously toxic products on animals, and switch to modern non animal methods.
Aquatic Life Referencing Values are created by testing pesticides on laboratory fish. These lethal dose tests/acute lethality tests and chronic toxicity tests are cruel and should be replaced with Non Animal Methods. No new ALRV fish tests should be conducted, and only existing data and new Non Animal Method data be used. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/programs-initiatives/water-monitoring-pesticides/aquatic-life-reference-values.html
