1. We will be clear about when, how and why we use animals in research.

2. We will enhance our communications with the media and the public about our research using animals.

3. We will be proactive in providing opportunities for the public to find out about research using animals.

4. We will report on progress annually and share our experiences.

These commitments to transparent, open communication with the public about animal research were launched in the UK by Understanding Animal Research in 2014. There are currently 127 signatories across every sector of research on this agreement. And many countries, including New Zealand, have followed their lead. But not the United States – because the leadership of extreme animal rights groups like PETA and the White Coat Waste Project won’t allow the research community here to speak freely with the public, politicians, lawmakers, or the media. They have bullied the research community into submission and deliberately manipulated and controlled the narrative with the public for decades. We are now so lost in the details of our arguments that we can’t see the truth that joins us – we all love animals and we would all rather they weren’t still necessary for biomedical progress. What do we have to do to leave this ball of confusion behind us so we can move forward, in love and compassion, for animals and people? Our guests today will show us the way.
