It's time for everyone with a sense of compassion and an interest in medical science to pay attention to the annual World Day For Lab Animals: it's time to reject outdated animal-based methodology in disease research.
April 24th is the World Day For Animals in Labs -- https://worlddayforlaboratoryanimals.org/. Please also check out the Animal Defence and Anti-vivisection Society based in Vancouver, BC, to find out why cell culture, stem cell, in-vitro study and computer modelling imaging techniques are the way forward: https://adavsociety.org/
These techniques are explained at https://www.uwindsor.ca/ccaam/ (Canadian Centre for Alternatives to Animal Methods). Many labs in Europe are pursuing the same types of alternative research, the better to advance effective medical treatment. In the U.S. the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (nonprofit) provides a wealth of detail:

Canadians appalled at the immense cruelty toward over 4 million animals used in lab research, including over 120,000 per year "subjected to severe pain", can contact their MPs to voice their concern.
They can also email Francois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, at ISI.minister-ministreISI@canada.ca.
