BRAZILIAN ANIMAL TESTING CRIMES AND ALTERNARTIVES
Abstract
Animal experimentation has increasingly taken part of the debates in society, including academia, exposing the need to respond to moral and legal issues that arise when evaluating justifications for the use of animals as mere tools. This article intends to briefly appreciate this practice in light of current legislation, observing the subject, covering Federal Constitution, Law n. 9605/98 (Environmental Crimes Law), Law n. 11,208 / 2008 (Arouca Law) and Decree n. 6899/2009, as well as seeking to anticipate the effects of Bill n. 6602/2013. To assist in this verification, it also observes what say defenders of animal experimentation and the vision of those who are opposed to this practice, while evaluating the issue of alternatives to animal use.
