The FDA just made history for animals

After decades of pain, fear, and death for animals in laboratories, the FDA has finally announced a plan to move away from outdated animal testing.
Every day in the lab is a nightmare for the animals.
A dog lies still, legs restrained, as a drug is injected to test its effects on humans.
She does not understand the pain — only knows it hurts.
The staff monitors her, ready to replace her with another innocent dog if she dies.
Every year, an estimated 50 million animals in the U.S.— dogs, cats, monkeys, and others suffer in lab tests.
They suffer through chemicals, infections, and surgeries meant to predict human reactions.
But even after all that, 90% of drugs that pass animal tests -- later fail in human trials.
The animals suffered and died for drugs that didn’t even work.
The good news is that scientists can now test drugs using advanced technology.
As the FDA Commissioner said:
“This initiative marks a paradigm shift in drug evaluation and holds promise to accelerate cures and meaningful treatments for Americans while reducing animal use.”
A change like this doesn’t undo the suffering, but if the plan moves forward, it could mean fewer cages, needles, and terrified animals lying on cold metal tables.
While this move could spare animals in laboratories, millions of dogs and cats still suffer on the streets — born into a world that doesn’t want them.
This is exactly why our work at 600 Million Dogs is so critical.
Our mission is bold: to end the #1 cause of suffering and death for dogs and cats — overpopulation — by developing a permanent-lasting birth control cookie that will only need to be eaten one time, and it will in effect spay or neuter — without surgery.
Help end the #1 cause of suffering for dogs and cats ... for as little as $5 a month.
Thank you so much for caring and helping animals.

Well done FDA. I hope you can push this through to implementation before: a) Trump trashes it; b) before the test-animal breeding industry lobbies to kill it, c) before Trump totally trashes the FDA
How far along are you with this experiment/trials? Are we making progress? I'm, willing to add my mite, but i am hoping it will be effective, then I can donate to help its distribution
