Time for the UK Government to lead the way

We're calling on governments and those involved with lab animals to:

  • Agree that phasing out the use of lab animals is a desirable goal
  • Show leadership and commitment to achieving this with clear plans

77% of UK adults support phasing out animal use in scientific research

Progress in using non-animal alternatives

There's been promising recent progress in developing humane alternatives to many animal experiments.

But this isn't happening anywhere near fast enough. We want to see all lab animal use replaced with non-animal methods.
