WHAT CAN ONE PERSON DO?

We know that animals have emotions and possess unique intelligence and sensitivity. And just like us, they experience fear and pain. And what could be more frightening and painful than having chemicals forced into your eyes, down your throat, or rubbed on sensitive skin?

You can stand up for the animals who suffer in labs by joining AAVS, a leader in the fight to end animal testing.

We work with scientists who recognize that animal testing is not only cruel, but unreliable as a predictor of safety in humans. We are proud of our contributions to reform scientific testing in a way that benefits both people and animals.

Please Join Us Today! With your support, we can tell more people that animal testing is cruel and unnecessary and that, as consumers and citizens, the power is in our hands to end animal suffering.

For over 140 years, AAVS has brought informed expertise and dogged determination to combatting animal experimentation. Today, we manage the trusted Leaping Bunny certification program for cruelty-free cosmetics, personal care, and household products.

What we do:

• Promote scientific alternative methods
• Provide sanctuary to animals from labs
• Present humane science teaching tools to educators
• Publish the most trusted cruelty-free list
• Protest aggressive increases in use of primates

AAVS does not receive any government grants or corporate funding—we are fully reliant on our members. Don’t just make a donation–make a difference!   

With a membership contribution of $15 or more, you’ll receive our booklet on cruelty-free living.
