Recently South Korea launched a bill that would reduce animal testing. While this reduction is worth celebrating, it is being called a ban on animal testing. The truth is that it is not a ban on animal testing. A lot of animal testing will still occur in South Korea and should not be compared to other bans that have been put in place elsewhere in the world. The bill in South Korea would only ban …
