Encourage Nobel Foundation to offer a prize for developing alternatives to animal experimentation

Target:

Nobel Foundation

Sponsored by:

World-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall has proposed the creation of a new Nobel Prize category for scientists who advance medical knowledge through the development of working alternatives to animal experimentation. Please Take Action to encourage the Nobel Foundation to consider Dr. Goodall's suggestion to create a prize for the development of alternatives to animal experimentation.

I am writing to ask that you take Dr. Jane Goodall's suggestion that the Nobel Foundation create a prize for the development of alternatives to animal experimentation.

Dr. Goodall, whose pioneering work with chimpanzees in the wild changed the face of ethology, said that "As we move into the 21st century we need a new mindset. We should admit that the infliction of suffering on beings who are capable of feeling is ethically problematic and that the amazing human brain should set to work to find new ways of testing and experimenting that will not involve the use of live, sentient beings."

Promoting humane alternatives to animal testing would also ultimately advance knowledge in the field of medicine, because such methods are often more sophisticated and applicable to studying human health than animal models. I strongly encourage the Nobel Foundation to create a prize for the development of alternatives to animal experimentation to benefit humanity and prevent unnecessary animal suffering.

This is a very constructive idea. Torture can't be a part of science. We need alternatives.

Follow the right path by not supporting animal experimentation for human gain. It makes very little sense to search for cures, solutions, breakthroughs on an animal that is completey different in make-up from that of a person. I just don't get it and I think it is horrible. I lose more and more faith in people everyday. Those who profit from such suffering will pay the price eventually but until that day of their's comes, there must be a stop to this unethical destruction of God's creatures!

yes move into the 21st century, it has already been proven there is no need for animal testing and yet you's continue to give awards to those who do have a heart for the suffering of these poor animals that feel the same amount of pain and suffing as a humain.

I completely agree with Dr Goodall. Developing an alternative to animal testing wthat prevents needless suffering and will save so many lives will be a progressive, ethical and valuable contribution to this planet and will do good at so many levels, so I heartily support this proposal

I absolutely agree with Dr Goodall, any person who does research on animals (while it may be good intentioned) is causing unnecessary pain to another living creature. And it is time to put an end to that. All scientists by now should have developed a way to do research without using animals, and those that have should be recognized in a very special way. The Nobel Prize is the most prestigious award for scientists to receive, and since Alfred Nobel cared so deeply for all living things, I believe he would approve of this new category being named in his honor.
