World Day for Animals in Labs is an annual event observed on April 24 to raise awareness about the use of animals in scientific experiments and to promote alternatives to animal testing. It is also known as World Laboratory Animal Day.
The day is dedicated to highlighting the suffering and cruelty that animals endure in laboratories, including mice, rats, dogs, cats, primates, and other species. It also serves to highlight the need to develop alternative methods, such as computer modelling, cell cultures, and other non-animal testing techniques,
