Organisations Opposed to the Use of Animals in Research

Europeans for Medical Process (EMP)

Europeans for Medical Progress is an independent, not-for-profit organisation of scientists and medical professionals. Their goal is "to protect human health by promoting human-specific medical research". They claim that "there is overwhelming evidence that animal experiments provide results that, when applied to humans, can prove misleading or fatal. These tests exhaust precious research funding, waste valuable time, produce ineffective solutions, and delay progress toward human cures."

British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV)

For over 100 years the BUAV has been campaigning peacefully to end animal experiments. Their vision is "to create a world where nobody wants or believes we need to experiment on animals."

National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS)

NAVS was formed in 1875 and has been campaigning for the abolition of animal research for over 100 years.

NAVS say that "millions of animals suffer and die in cruel, unscientific, and futile experiments. The NAVS advocates the prohibition of all animal experiments and, pending the achievement of this aim, we may support partial measures of reform which would provide steps towards the abolition of vivisection."
