What we do

We aim to achieve a broad understanding of the humane use of animals in medical, veterinary, scientific and environmental research and to do this we seek to engage with and inform members of the public, the media, policy makers, schools and the scientific research community.

Social media

We use social media to communicate key information on the use of animals in scientific research including how and why animals are used in UK science.
Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Videography

We create videos on the subject of animal research, how animal testing is carried out, and the research that results from studies that use animals. You can watch our videos on YouTube and you can download our free to use videos from our video library.
