Troy Seidle has served for more than a decade as a scientific and policy consultant to animal protection and social justice organizations in North America and Europe. As a director of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, Seidle was appointed as one of its representatives to the governing body of the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC), and as a community representative on CCAC assessments of Canadian animal research facilities. He was later appointed to consecutive terms on the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee, and invited to participate in a number of scientific expert groups and workshops hosted by the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). As a founding member of the International Council on Animal Protection at the OECD (ICAPO), Seidle has been a strong advocate for the consistent application of the 3Rs and modern validation criteria in global testing guidelines and frameworks for industrial and agrochemicals and other regulated substances, and is currently senior science-policy advisor to The HSUS and our affiliates, Humane Society International and Humane Society Legislative Fund.
