Stop animal experiments!
By: Australian Association for Humane Research Inc.

What is this appeal for?

To provide financial support to stop animal experiments and to promote the use of alternatives.

Why are we collecting funds?
Every year, hundreds of millions of animals are used around the world in experiments. They are injected with diseases foreign to their species, driven insane, electric shocked, blinded, concussed, burned, frozen, drowned, mechanically raped and dismembered - all in the name of human health and well-being.

It's not an issue that most people like to think about let alone address. We can argue that it's cruel, that it's unethical and that we should respect animals and afford them rights, but when we are involved in debate with researchers, or with parents of children born with genetic defects or who have terminal cancer, every ethical argument is cast aside. Children are considered more important and we are dismissed as caring more for animals than for people. Animal experiments are thus considered a 'necessary evil' and are kept hidden behind closed doors - and animals continue to suffer in silence.

The Australian Association for Humane Research is strongly opposed to the use of animals in research on both ethical and scientific grounds. We maintain that animal experimentation is NOT a 'necessary evil', and that instead it is dangerous science.

We do not receive any government funding.

Key areas of expenditure for funds donated:

To raise awareness about the dangers of our reliance on animal-based data
To promote more humane and scientifically-valid research
