Irish Anti-Vivisection Society criticises Government for overseeing second annual increase in animal testing

2024 statistics for animal experiments in Ireland sees rise in animal experiments due to an increase in deadly ‘Botox’ toxicity testing.

We are strongly encouraging our members to take just a few minutes to complete the public consultation launched by the European Commission on updating EU legislation on on-farm animal welfare – including phasing out the use of cages for farm animals.

The questionnaire is short and mainly multiple-choice, making it quick and easy to contribute.

Your voice matters: by responding, you help ensure that the farming lobby isn’t the only one influencing policy and that animals’ welfare is placed at the heart of the debate. We urge all animal rights groups and concerned citizens to fill it in—and forward the link to your networks so we can maximise impact together.

Please click the link below, fill in the survey, and make your voice heard!

Every year, more than 1,600 monkeys are used in experiments in Germany, many of them in particularly severe procedures such as toxicity tests, organ transplants, or invasive brain surgeries. During years in captivity, the monkeys are poisoned, suffer drill holes in their skulls, and are being restrained and kept thirsty.

Our colleagues from the ECEAE 'Doctors Against Animal Experiments', together with PETA Germany, has submitted a petition to the Bundestag, the German parliament, calling for an end to experiments on non-human primates in Germany.

Please help!

Scientists push new paradigm of animal consciousness, saying even insects may be sentient

Far more animals than previously thought likely have consciousness, top scientists say in a new declaration — including fish, lobsters and octopus.
