Ipsos / DTI Animal Experimentation Study, December 2006
Ipsos has conducted a survey on the general public's views on animal experimentation, on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry. The study is the fourth in a series examining trends in public attitudes towards the use of animals in research. The first study from which trends have been examined was carried out on behalf of the Medical Research Council (in June-September 1999), with the second and third such studies being on behalf of CMP, the Coalition for Medical Progress (in 2002 and 2005). In March 1999, MORI carried out a study examining public attitudes to animal experimentation generally, and experiments involving mice or monkeys, causing no pain, severe pain, or death [see notes].
