==History==
World Day For Animals In Laboratories was established in 1979 by the British National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS).〔 The date 24 April was chosen as it marked the birthday of former NAVS president Hugh Dowding, 1st Baron Dowding.
Today the event is marked by demonstrations and protests by groups opposed to the use of animals in research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.all-creatures.org/wlalw/ )〕 In April 2010 protesters marched through central London calling for an end to the use of animals in research,.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.demotix.com/news/314089/world-day-animals-laboratories#media-314063/ )〕 A similar march took place in Birmingham in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://allevents.in/Birmingham/World-Day-for-Animals-in-Laboratories-Press-Release/292643717480156#/ )〕 and Nottingham in 2014.〔(2014 Nottingham Rally Report )〕
World Day and World Week For Animals In Laboratories have also attracted attention from scientific groups defending the use of animals in research. On 22 April 2009 members of UCLA Pro-Test held a rally in support of biomedical research on animals,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://speakingofresearch.com/2009/03/30/stand-up-for-research-at-ucla-april-22nd/ )〕 and to condemn the violence and harassment directed at faculty member Prof. David Jentsch by animal activists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/West-Side-Story-Scientists-Activists-Face-Off-at-UCLA.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://articles.latimes.com/2009/apr/23/local/me-animals23 )〕
NAVS and other groups opposed to animal research have claimed that World Day For Animals In Laboratories is recognised by the United Nations.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.animalaid.org.uk/h/n/NEWS/news_experiments/ALL/2679/ )〕 However, the day is not included on the official list of United Nations observances.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.un.org/en/events/observances/days.shtml )〕
