Using animals for testing, research, and educational purposes is archaic and barbaric!

Science has reached a point where there are many reliable and effective non-animal methods to use.

You can help stop animal testing by:

1. Buying only cruelty-free and vegan products

2. Contacting your municipal, provincial, and federal government representatives, demanding they pass laws to demand that animal testing be stopped

3. Contacting companies demanding that they implement a cruelty-free policy

4. Supporting organizations that fight against animal testing

5. Signing petitions and participating in calls to action

6. Sharing information online

7. Talking to your friends and family about how unethical, ineffective, and costly animal testing is.

Thank you 🙏

Great news!!

AbbVie has confirmed it no longer uses animal-based routine batch testing for botox in Canada, joining competitors like Ipsen and Merz in shifting to animal-free methods.

This decision aligns the company with competitors like Ipsen and Merz, who have already transitioned to animal-free testing methods for botox.

For years, botox was tested on animals due to its classification as a drug, which allowed it to bypass the 2023 Canadian ban on cosmetic animal testing.

The previous testing involved the "LD50" method, where animals were subjected to painful procedures to determine the lethal dose of the neurotoxin.

This shift marks a significant victory for animal welfare advocates, as it eliminates a source of extreme suffering for animals used in botox testing.

The move is seen as a step towards a more humane approach in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in cosmetic applications

❗TAKE ACTION: TELL YORK UNIVERSITY TO END ITS CRUEL NEUROSCIENCE EXPERIMENTS ON PRIMATES ❗

An undercover investigation by LCA exposed the suffering of nine rhesus macaques used in cruel neuroscience research at York University in Toronto. Footage shows macaques suffering from cranial implants, restraint collars, social isolation and the effects of water deprivation.

The macaques have endured years of invasive brain research and suffering living in small, barren cages. Hannah, Liesl, Mini-Sass, Olivia, Virginia, and Do arrived in 2009; Kenny arrived in 2015 ; and Bento and Magneto arrived in 2023. They all underwent repeated brain implant surgeries and the females underwent multiple eye coil surgeries.

LCA filed a formal complaint against York University with the Canadian Council on Animal Care which is being investigated.
