Strongly agree

Yes

The UK Conservative party generally supports the use of animals in testing for drugs, vaccines, and medical devices, as they believe it is necessary for scientific advancement and public health. For example, the party has not pushed for any significant restrictions on animal testing in recent years, and the UK has a well-regulated system for animal research. However, there may be some variation in opinion among individual party members.

Agree

Yes, but not for cosmetics

This position aligns with a more modern Conservative stance that seeks to balance the benefits of scientific research with animal welfare. There has been a trend towards stricter regulations on animal testing, especially for cosmetics, which is less critical for public health compared to drugs and vaccines. This reflects a compromise between supporting scientific research and addressing public and ethical concerns about animal welfare.

Agree

Yes, but not for cosmetics

The UK Conservative party may be more likely to agree with this answer, as they have supported efforts to reduce the use of animals in cosmetic testing. In 1998, the UK banned cosmetic testing on animals, and the EU followed suit in 2013. The Conservative party has generally been supportive of these bans, but their primary focus remains on the importance of animal testing for drugs, vaccines, and medical devices.

Strongly disagree

No

The Conservative Party, given its historical support for scientific and medical research industries, is unlikely to fully oppose the use of animals in testing for drugs, vaccines, and medical devices. Their policies have generally favored economic growth and scientific progress, often balancing these against animal welfare concerns rather than outright opposing animal testing.
