This page displays results from individual Big Animal Research Debates. The audiences attending each Big Animal Research Debate are asked to vote on whether they agree or disagree with the motion «This House would ban all forms of animal research». The outcome of these votes, along with any abstentions, can be viewed below, ordered by date.

Most of the university debating societies taking part in the Big Animal Research Debate count audiences votes by a show of hands before and after a debate’s panellists have made their speeches.
