Humane World for Animals: Loopholes keep animal testing in nutrition out of sight

A blind spot in the US Animal Welfare Act (AWA) excludes the species of animals widely used in these industries. Nutrition Insight speaks with Humane World for Animals to learn about the loopholes that allow animals to go unreported and reveal what it would take for scientists to commit to cruelty-free practices. The AWA does not protect rats, mice, or birds, and they are heavily used in nutrition studies. Greg Sower, toxicologist and science adviser in the Animal Research Issues department, criticizes this exclusion, flagging how this results in their continued pain and distress.
