Honestly, it's embarrassing how much better this administration has been on animal testing compared to Democratic administrations. They've done a lot to hasten the end of animal testing, including putting pressure on institutions to find alternatives.

This is a wildly dishonest take. The only reason there's less animal testing now is that they defunded science across the board. The current administration absolutely does not care about animal rights.

No, they've accelerated the phase out of animal testing for drug approval at FDA. For example: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-anno...

I'm not inclined to give this administration the benefit of the doubt, but in this one small area they've done well, IMO.
