公众的支持是采用替代实验动物的强大推动力。因此，找出一个社会对动物使用道德的看法是很重要的。在中国的案例中，一种有用的调查方式是调查中国人的观点，因为他们的国家以饲养动物的恶劣条件而闻名。这份报告涉及对中国大学生在实验研究中使用动物的态度的调查。调查显示，学生中存在适度的担忧；例如，他们同意使用动物来测试化妆品和家居用品是不必要的，应该停止使用，但不同意人类有权按自己认为合适的方式使用动物。这一发现非常令人鼓舞。还需要进一步的研究，以了解中国人对在研究中使用动物的合理性的看法。
Public support is a strong impetus for the adoption of alternatives to laboratory animals. It is therefore important to find out what a society thinks about ethical animal use. In the case of China, a useful line of enquiry was to survey Chinese people's views, as their country is renowned for the deplorable conditions under which animals are kept. This report concerns an investigation into the attitudes of Chinese university students toward the use of animals in laboratory research. The survey revealed a moderate concern amongst students; for example, they agreed that the use of animals for testing cosmetics and household products is unnecessary and should be stopped, and disagreed that humans have the right to use animals as they see fit. This finding is very encouraging. Further research is needed, in order to understand Chinese views about the justification of using animals in research.
