How you can help

With your support we are making progress for lab animals: bans on the use of chimpanzees and wild caught monkeys in EU labs; phasing out the capture of wild monkeys to stock the factory farms; ending the use of offspring of wild-caught monkeys; the cosmetics testing ban in the EU; stopping the Colombian hunters trapping owl monkeys for malaria experiments; most airlines refusing to transport monkeys for research; replacement of animals in teaching and restrictions on certain painful experiments across Europe. But thousands of monkeys and dogs are still being subjected to painful safety tests.

Take action:

  • Write to your Member of Parliament (UK) or elected Representatives in Congress (US) and tell them you want to see greater urgency in replacing animal use with advanced, non-animal methods and the introduction of wider scientific scrutiny of proposals for animal use.
  • Make a donation to support our work to help animals in laboratories.
  • Get involved in, and share, our campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads, and Bluesky.
  • Spread the word: Write to your local newspaper; blog about it.
  • Pledge to use cruelty-free cosmetics and household products – and persuade friends and family members to do so too.
  • Write to a company that tests on animals. Let them know you will not use their products while they continue to carry out such tests, and that you’ll tell others to do the same.
