At Humanimal Trust, we believe medical advances shouldn't just be about human benefit where they could help animals too. We believe humans and animals can and should benefit from equal and sustainable medical progress, without the need for experimental animal testing.
We believe all humans and animals deserve access to appropriate medical treatments.
As we celebrate One Medicine Day 2022, it’s important we reflect on the difference pursuing a One Medicine approach could make to help us all. One Medicine isn’t about a focus primarily on human benefit, it is about reciprocity. Animals matter. We all matter. We all affect each other; we impact each others’ lives in a variety of ways. In a world where technical advances mean we can really focus and drive fairer, more ethical, methods of medical research that could help us all, saving time, saving money and saving lives, why would we not act?
