Respondents cite a perception that government oversight and regulation of biotechnology has "eroded" their lack of support of GM animals. http://www.humanespot.org/content/tolerance-frankenfish-falling-survey#comments Public Research Citation Biotechnology General Animal Protection Research for Academic Learning Sun, 09 Oct 2011 08:45:00 -0700 Carol L.

The report concludes that most research involving ACHM is justifiable, but that some research is cause for concern. http://www.humanespot.org/content/animals-containing-human-material#comments Public Research Citation Animal Experimentation Biotechnology Data and Statistics Pharmaceutical, Medical or Biomedical Research Research Tools and Methods Fri, 05 Aug 2011 08:45:00 -0700 Carol L.

The study authors suggest cultured meat could reduce environmental damage, conserve wildlife, provide food access for human populations, and improve animal welfare. http://www.humanespot.org/content/environmental-impacts-cultured-meat-production#comments Public Research Citation Animal Welfare or Living Conditions Biotechnology Data and Statistics Diet and Nutrition Environment Factory Farming Farmed Animals Food Trends General Animal Protection International Research Vegetarian Food Products or Substitutes Vegetarianism and Veganism Fri, 29 Jul 2011 08:45:00 -0700 Carol L.

The survey enables advocates to track and understand how public opinion and behavior is changing over time, with respect to a wide variety of critically important animal protection issues. HRC has just completed year four of the Animal Tracker and the report is now available (for free) on HumaneSpot.org. http://www.humanespot.org/content/how-common-animal-friendly-behavior-hrcs-new-data-might-surprise-you#comments Public Blog Entry HRC-Authored Syndicated Study Animal Advocacy Animal Experimentation Animal Welfare or Living Conditions Biotechnology Campaign and Program Evaluation Charitable Contributions and Volunteering Circus Companion Animals Data and Statistics Entertainment Animals Environment Factory Farming Farmed Animals Food Trends Food/Product Selection or Purchase Criteria Fur or Fur Trim General Animal Protection Humane Education Hunting or Trapping Legislation, Voting, Political Candidates Meat, Dairy, Egg Consumption Personal Care Products Pet Adoption, Rescue or Shelters Pet Overpopulation Pet Ownership Pharmaceutical, Medical or Biomedical Research Preservation or Restoration Psychology, Social Development, Social Motivations Wildlife Wildlife and Exotics Zoos Tue, 03 May 2011 19:00:24 -0700 Che Green 4202 at http://www.humanespot.org http://www.humanespot.org/content/animal-tracker-wave-4-march-2011 This report summarizes results from Wave 4 of the Animal Tracker annual survey of U.S. adults regarding their attitudes and behavior toward animals. In summary, the results continue to show strong support for humane education and many other advocacy tactics. However, support for all tactics is lower than it was in 2008 and there appear to be fewer people engaging in animal-friendly behaviors, perhaps in part due to the economic downturn. http://www.humanespot.org/content/animal-tracker-wave-4-march-2011#comments Public Research Citation HRC-Authored Syndicated Study Advocacy Strategies Animal Advocacy Animal Experimentation Animal Welfare or Living Conditions Biotechnology Charitable Contributions and Volunteering Circus Companion Animals Data and Statistics Diet and Nutrition Entertainment Animals Environment Factory Farming Farmed Animals Food Trends Food/Product Selection or Purchase Criteria Fur or Fur Trim General Animal Protection Humane Education Hunting or Trapping Legislation, Voting, Political Candidates Meat, Dairy, Egg Consumption Personal Care Products Pet Adoption, Rescue or Shelters Pet Overpopulation Pet Ownership Pharmaceutical, Medical or Biomedical Research Preservation or Restoration Product Labeling, Certification or Regulation Psychology, Social Development, Social Motivations Research Tools and Methods Vegetarian Food Products or Substitutes Vegetarianism and Veganism Wildlife Wildlife and Exotics Zoos Mon, 02 May 2011 09:43:18 -0700 HRC Admin 4201 at http://www.humanespot.org http://www.humanespot.org/content/meet-new-fbr-ads-same-old-fbr-ads They're baaaack... have you seen the latest round of billboards from the animal experimentation industry?

The results showed that both groups had a negative and extreme view of the other, but they both also had a good understanding of the issues on both sides of the debate. Some agreement between the two groups about the relative capacity of animals to suffer was also noted. http://www.humanespot.org/content/us-and-them-scientists-and-animal-rights-campaigners-views-animal-experimentation-debate#comments Public Research Citation Animal Advocacy Animal Experimentation Biotechnology General Animal Protection International Research Pharmaceutical, Medical or Biomedical Research Fri, 04 Feb 2011 11:08:33 -0800 Kmunsell 4048 at http://www.humanespot.org
