PETA India demands govt stop Palamur biosciences from using animals in testing

Hyderabad, June 10 (UNI) People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India on Tuesday alleged that dogs, rhesus macaques and other animals endure painful procedures and languish for years at the Palamur Biosciences laboratory here and demanded govt regulators take steps to stop animal testing in experiments.
In a statement here, Anjana Aggarwal, Scientist and Research Policy Advisor at PETA India said, “We urged the government regulators to end the torment of animals imprisoned at Palamur Biosciences. Anything less than the facility’s permanent shutdown is a green light for abuse.”
In its complaints submitted to the Committee for the Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA), the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) and the National GLP Compliance Monitoring Authority (NGCMA), PETA India urged them to immediately terminate the company’s registration to use animals in testing, prosecution under applicable rules and rehabilitation of survival animals.
