The ethical care and use of laboratory animals is crucial to biomedical research, especially in drug discovery. As pharmaceutical science moves toward increasingly complex therapeutic targets, animal models remain critical for evaluating safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity of novel drug candidates before human trials. High-quality, compassionate, and ethical research promotes moral responsibility, yields accurate, repeatable, and translatable data, and strengthens public trust and worldwide collaboration.
