- arrrg 5y agoNothing to do with animal testing. Also, your statement is highly misleading at best. No idea what the US did but the EMA in Europe didn’t relax any of its standards and often drug testing is mostly slow because it’s costly. Here cost wasn’t really an issue and things that are usually done sequentially were done in parallel. That saves time.
