Temporary experiment ban at French primatology center

Temporary experiment ban at French primatology center

Pro Anima Scientific Committee has been working for more than 30 years to accelerate the transition to non-animal research for the benefit of our health.

At the request of the Pro Anima Scientific Committee association, the Administrative Court of Strasbourg, by judgment of January 30, 2024, deliberated in favor of the cessation of the activities of the primatology center of the University of Strasbourg (UNISTRA) due to possible risks of environmental contamination.

Since the very beginning of this case, the Pro Anima Scientific Committee has been concerned about the multiple risks linked to experimentation on non-human primates, which could cause health problems and risks for the environment.

To this end, the Committee asked the Huglo-Lepage advocate firm to take charge of this file.

On January 30, 2024 and after several years of proceedings, the Court ruled in favor of stopping the center’s activity, with immediate effect.

The company is going ahead with the proposal despite the objections of local residents and representatives.
