Ontario’s Bill 75 could end invasive experiments on dogs and cats

A new bill in Ontario aims to ban invasive medical research on dogs and cats. Bill 75 has been introduced but still faces key steps before becoming law. Critics argue that current wording leaves loopholes around research exceptions unaddressed.

Bill 75 would stop invasive experiments on dogs and cats across Ontario. Exceptions could apply in cases like medical emergencies, disease control, or approved studies improving animal welfare. However, the bill’s language remains unclear on how these exceptions will be enforced.

If passed, Bill 75 would mark a major change in how Ontario regulates animal research. The final impact will depend on the details of the new regulations and how exceptions are applied. Public input and legislative debates will shape the outcome in the coming months.
