Humane World End Animal Testing

Today: another action to stop unnecessary animal testing. We can do better.

Fewer animals. Better data. Faster cures. Today’s draft guidance on New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) accelerates the shift to human-centric science—advancing ethical, more predictive, and faster drug development. fda.gov/news-events/pr…

🚨 BREAKING: The @US_FDA has taken another step toward phasing out pharmaceutical tests on animals! 🎉🐭 📢 Tell the agency to take the next step & change its regulations to make it clear to drug companies that animal testing is not legally required! ➡️ humaneworld.org/AnimalTestingF…

Great news! Brazil's council that regulates animal experimentation (CONCEA) has approved a non-animal method instead of rabbits to test for eye damage/irritation. We'll continue to work w/ Brazilian regulators & policymakers to drive even more positive change for animals in labs.

Follow the link for an update on the recently proposed change to the MA horseshoe crab harvest which has been withdrawn, from Coalition member @humaneworldorg Also sign on to a letter supporting the use of synthetics versus horseshoe crab blood for biomedical endotoxin testing.

MYTH ❌ Most drugs deemed safe in animal studies also work well in human trials. FACT ✅ Over 90% of drugs that pass animal tests, fail in human trials. Imagine if cars worked only 5% of the time? Manufacturers would go bankrupt! Stay tuned for more in our #MythBustingSeries!

This #InternationalMacaqueDay, we’re celebrating Big Bit and the other macaques who suffered in harmful experiments but now live at Black Beauty Ranch, our sanctuary in Texas! 🐵 After everything they’ve endured, we’re thankful to be able to give them the care they deserve! 💙

As we shift away from animal testing, there are methods that can and should be used to figure out whether chemicals are safe. humaneworld.org/en/blog/animal…

The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries has withdrawn its proposal to allow biomedical companies to capture & drain the blood of an additional 80k horseshoe crabs every year. 🌊 We spoke out against this plan last week, so we’re pleased to see such a positive outcome! 🙌🏽

🐑 Sheep are extremely social animals with excellent memories who experience emotions like loneliness and fear and who deserve our compassion, just like all animals! ❤️

99 yrs ago, scientists invented lethal dose tests—designed to literally kill animals. We're calling for an end to these tests before they turn 100 in 2027—they're ethically unacceptable when non-animal methods exist. If we know better, we should do better: act.humaneworld.org/page/179913/pe… #HumaneWorld #EndAnimalCruelty #ScienceWithoutSuffering

One person CAN help change the system! ✊ For over a decade, Antoniana Ottoni has worked to convince lawmakers in Brazil to ban animal testing for cosmetics and limit the use of animals in chemical testing. Her dedication is helping build a future where science is animal-free!

🎉 GREAT NEWS! A bill that would require NH labs to replace animal tests with approved non-animal alternatives to test cosmetics, drugs, pesticides & other substances has unanimously passed the Senate! NH residents: Tell your rep to support this bill! ➡️ secure.humaneworld.org/page/187221

Last weekend, dozens of the 4k+ beagles we rescued from Envigo’s lab breeding facility in 2022 gathered with their adopters in Florida for a reunion!🐾 We ❤️ seeing so many happy beagles together! These dogs were bred to live lives of fear & pain in labs. Now they're thriving!🐶

Science + compassion go hand in hand 💙 Our Program Director, Dre Shaarika Sarasija, spoke with the @sciencepolicy on the future of animal-free science. Ask the government to invest in humane science: bit.ly/45HTDt2 youtube.com/watch?v=VYcVy9…

Imagine tiny devices that mimic functions of the human body, using human cells & tissues to predict responses to chemicals & medicines. These Microphysiological Systems—like organ-chips & organoids—are delivering human-relevant results & minimizing need for animal tests.🫀🫁🧠

That’s why we’re taking the next step: developing a course in human‑centric science to train the next generation of researchers to use human‑relevant tools—like organ-chips & organoids—that use human cells, tissues & data to develop better health products & treatments for women.

This International Women’s Day, let’s talk about how animal testing fails women. 👎♀️ One glaring example is that rodents don’t menstruate—yet they’re used to develop & test products designed for women. This mismatch leaves major gaps in our understanding of women’s health...
