TAKE ACTION THIS WORLD DAY FOR ANIMALS IN LABORATORIES

With elections planned around the world in 2024, there is no better time to speak out for the animals suffering in laboratories who can’t speak for themselves.

Act today to help create a cruelty-free world and stand up for vulnerable animals this year of political change.


Cruelty Free International works to create a world where no animals suffer in a laboratory.

192.1 million animals

were used for scientific purposes worldwide in 2015

207,724 tests

using dogs are conducted worldwide

12.6 million animals

were bred for experiments in the EU but then not used
