In the document, biochemist Helena Nader and physicist Luiz Davidovich, who head the SBPC and ABC respectively, reaffirm that \u201cthe use of animals for experiments is of vital importance for research in the areas of biology and health.\u201d The letter also points out that not using animals for experiments will make it impossible to continue research on the chikungunya, Zika and dengue viruses, for example. In a note published by newspaper <em>O Estado de S.Paulo<\/em> on June 23, 2016, LATAM (formed by the merger of TAM of Brazil and LAN of Chile) indicated that the purpose was to strengthen the airline\u2019s commitment \u201cto the environment and the species that are part of it.\u201d Similar situations have occurred in several countries, where airlines bowed to pressure from animal rights entities and stopped transporting monkeys and mice used in laboratories in the United States and Europe. Major airlines such as Lufthansa, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic stopped the shipment of animals to be used in scientific experiments long ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Latam bans transport of animals used in research on its planes","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[212,230,247,232],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-229001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-biotechnology","tag-ethics","tag-medicine","tag-pharmacology"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229001\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229001"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=229001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
