Two-year limit to phase out 'cruel' rabbit eye tests Our Special Correspondent

Rabbits in restraints in an animal-testing laboratory waiting for eye tests. New Delhi, Aug 23: A government panel has set a two-year deadline for India's drugs sector to phase out tests on rabbit eyes used in the evaluation of certain medicines but decried by animal rights activists as cruel and obsolete. The government's drug regulatory agency's Drug Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) has recommended a two-year phase-out period for the tests that involve exposing the eyes of laboratory rabbits to candidate medicines to determine whether they are safe for human use. The DTAB move, which is yet to be accepted and notified by the Union health ministry, follows representations to the government by animal protection activists seeking an immediate ban on the test and the use of alternatives that they say are equally or more reliable.
