Government funds the main organizations that hand out money for research, it promotes animal welfare causes (which are usually compatible with experimentation – even if animal rights causes are not), it requires and regulates the testing of drugs and other new chemicals. The extent of animal experimentation actually done by the government is mainly military-related (bullets, biological weapons.) It creates new research institutes.
