Friend,

Together, our efforts to protect animals from cruel and unnecessary testing are starting to bring real results. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration announced that they will work on phasing out animal testing for drugs regulated by the agency. While this is an exciting win that happened because of your support, it’s only a first step. We need your help to keep the pressure on to make sure they follow through on their promise. Please, send an urgent message to the FDA now to help protect innocent animals.

Here’s what the FDA decision means: The agency has made a public commitment to enact many of the reforms we’ve been urging them to take to reduce animal testing. That includes making it clear to drug companies that cruel and outdated animal testing is not required to approve their products, and creating specific guidance instead describing the new and effective non-animal testing options.

These are critical steps to transforming the broken drug approval process, releasing innocent animals from suffering in barren laboratories and enabling medical innovations that could help save human lives.

But we can’t afford to lose momentum now at this critical point in our fight. The FDA needs to keep hearing from concerned animal advocates like you so that they follow through with their commitments, helping us in our fight to end cruel and unnecessary animal testing for good. Please, send your message now. Animals are counting on you.

Thank you for acting to end animal cruelty,

Sara Amundson
