What are Some Ethical Considerations in Using Animals for Toxicity Testing?

The use of animals in toxicity testing raises several ethical concerns. Researchers are encouraged to follow the 3Rs principle: Replacement (using alternatives to animals when possible), Reduction (using the minimum number of animals necessary), and Refinement (minimizing pain and distress). Regulatory bodies and ethical committees oversee and enforce these principles to ensure humane treatment of animals.
