Humane World End Animal Testing

🧠 This #WorldBrainDay, we’re highlighting Riccardo Barrile, PhD, an innovative scientist developing non-animal, human-focused models based on 3D bioprinting & organs-on-chips to better understand & treat human brain diseases like glioblastoma, a devastating childhood cancer. 👏

🔬 Scientists often use genetically modified mice to study human diseases, but here's the problem: these lab experiments don't actually show how diseases work in humans. It's time we support research methods that are both more relevant to human health & kinder to animals. 🐭🧬

Challenging the status quo to advance #ScienceWithoutSuffering! ✊🔬🧪 Our workshop brought together global experts dedicated to advancing human-relevant methods instead of animals in medical research. We stand united in our belief that the future of science is animal-free!

Horseshoe crabs are exploited for their blue blood in medical testing, even though reliable non-animal options exist! 🦀🔬 🌊 Time to turn the tide & end this unnecessary practice. Sign our petition—help create a safe future for humans & horseshoe crabs! secure.humaneworld.org/page/173230/ac…

VICTORY! 🐰🎉After a 12-year campaign by Humane World for Animals, Brazil has voted to ban the sale of cosmetics tested on animals! The ban will enter into force after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to signs the bill. Read more: humaneworld.org/en/news/brazil… #HumaneWorld…

DYK 40k+ dogs are used in harmful experiments each year in the U.S. alone? Countless more suffer in labs worldwide. 💔 Help end dog testing for good: humaneworld.org/EndDogExperime… And—if you live in Pennsylvania—ask your legislators to support the Beagle Bill: humaneworld.org/PAAnimalTesting

Rabbits, guinea pigs, & ferrets in Connecticut labs will now have the chance to be adopted into loving homes after being used in harmful experiments! 🐰 CT is the first state in the U.S. to pass such a law. Previously, only dogs and cats in CT labs had the chance to be adopted.

.@NIH is creating a new office that will “coordinate NIH-wide efforts to develop, validate and scale the use of non-animal approaches across the agency’s biomedical research portfolio.” 👏 We're excited to see NIH move forward as it pursues innovative non-animal technologies! 🧪

Another milestone reached on our journey toward #ScienceWithoutSuffering in the EU! The European Council and the European Parliament have reached a deal on the “One Substance, One Assessment” (OSOA) package which includes A Common Data Platform on Chemicals (CDPC) designed to…

Horseshoe crabs belong in oceans, not labs! We’re calling on companies & gov't leaders to end the use of horseshoe crab blood in medical testing & adopt non-animal versions that are proven safe & effective for protecting human health. Sign our petition! secure.humaneworld.org/page/173230/ac…

💔 Nearly 400 dogs a year are subjected to painful experiments without any pain relief. This isn’t science, it’s suffering. Help us push for humane, non-animal research alternatives. 🖊️ Sign now: hwfa.link/x071125

DYK Guinea pigs are playful, curious by nature & sociable? They're also great communicators—they squeal, chirp, rumble & purr to express themselves! Today on #GuineaPigAppreciationDay, like and share to show your love for our furry little friends! 🐹💜

Tens of thousands of puppies are bred each year just to be experimented on in labs, often with your tax dollars. We must demand better. 📢 Join us: Sign and share ➡️ hwfa.link/2x071025

.@NIH has announced that it will no longer fund new grant proposals that rely solely on animal experiments—a shift that we've been advocating for decades! 👏 This will save the lives of countless animals while also prioritizing human health! TY @DrJBhattacharya & @NKleinstreuer!
