This major international conference, held in Tel Aviv in
May 1990, was organized and funded entirely by CHAI. It was the first international
conference on alternatives to the use of animals in laboratories held
anywhere in the world. One immediate result of the conference was that the
Israeli army switched from operating on healthy dogs to using non-animal
alternatives for training paramedics. Years later, however, with the
replacement of the Chief of the Army Medical Corps, the Army
increasingly reverted to using dogs.
We
are presenting here three addresses from this conference.
