This World Day for Animals in Laboratories (#WDAIL) comes after a year that was far from kind to these animals, but also a high year for non-animal science.

A research published in the World Resources Institute in March 2021 found that two of the main products responsible for deforestation are beef and soy, the latter being used for animal feed. The EU, as net importer of these products, should address the impact of such imports on the environment and on animals to ensure coherence between EU trade policy and the EU Green Deal.

Beef production drives deforestation five times more than any other sector
