As long as our society wants to benefit from advances in medicine, we will not be able to do without basic research and experiments with animals in Switzerland. Prof. Dr. Michael Hottiger (President)

I'm committed to helping ensure that future generations in Switzerland can also do world-class research and preventing a situation where such research is made impossible by increasing bans and administrative hurdles. Prof. Rolf Zeller

With its Animal Welfare Act, Switzerland already has one of the strictest laws in the world. An even stricter law would be counterproductive, because not only would there be a risk that more animal studies would simply be moved abroad, but it would also massively hamper medical progress that is important to us. Prof. Dr. med. vet. Thomas A. Lutz

University research today sows the seed for medical progress tomorrow. Prof. Dr. Annette Oxenius

Biomedical research is always goal-oriented. It is aimed at understanding the complexities of the human body and explaining the origin and development of diseases. Prof. Dr. Gregor Rainer
