Hello, I live in New Hampshire but I am driving 3 hours to be a part of this wonderful movement to abolish animal testing. It is a 207 mile walk in New York, but you can just come for a day, a few hours, post it to social media, or donate money for the cause. Anything helps. This March is coming at a perfect time, as the closing of ridglan farms in Wisconsin has given this movement so much momentum. If you don’t know, Ridglan Farms was an animal breeding facility who supplied beagles to laboratories. I will not go into detail about what happened here or how these dogs are treated in labs, because it makes me physically ill. Please come join me and countless others and be part of something amazing! This is obviously a very vegan friendly event, as eating vegan is encouraged.

🚨100 DAYS. NO ANSWERS. NO ACCOUNTABILITY. YORK UNIVERSITY REMAINS SILENT.🚨
It has been 100 days since LCA exposed the suffering of nine rhesus macaques used in neuroscience research at York University. Yet York University remains silent and has failed to take accountability for the suffering documented in the investigation.
The investigation exposed macaques suffering from cranial implants, social isolation, restraint collars, and water deprivation.
💔SOME OF THE MACAQUES HAVE BEEN SUFFERING AT YORK FOR 17 YEARS.💔
LCA continues to call on York University to end its primate research, surrender the macaques to a sanctuary, and prioritize the use and development of non-animal methods.
➡️100 DAYS OF SILENCE IS 100 DAYS TOO LONG.⬅️

Millions of animals are used in experiments every year to test chemicals for regulatory requirements, including chemicals that have already been shown to be safe. The Physicians Committee is working to change that.
We are proud to collaborate with Insilica, a computational modeling company whose tool ToxIndex aggregates more than 100 billion data points and 115 million regulatory documents, allowing scientists to obtain required regulatory data without a single animal experiment. The Physicians Committee welcomed Insilica as a sponsor of our 2026 Summer Immersion on Innovative Approaches in Science and has partnered with the company to train regulators on how to review and accept nonanimal submissions with confidence.
Through our NURA, ERA21, and Summer Immersion programs, we are helping build the infrastructure that makes animal-free science the norm, not the exception.

Science is moving beyond animal experimentation.
For decades, research has used millions of animals across nearly every scientific field. Many endure painful, invasive procedures, and for most, sanctuary or adoption is never an option. But there's a bigger problem: These experiments often don't predict what happens in people. At one university, dogs were used in deadly cardiovascular experiments for 35 years without producing a single result for patients.
A new generation of research is already changing that, but it's still the exception, not the rule. Lab-grown human tissues, organ-on-chip systems, and computational models allow researchers to study how diseases and drugs affect people in systems based on human biology, not animals. And the shift is real: From medical schools to federal agencies like the FDA, NIH, and EPA, it's already underway. The result is science that's more ethical, more efficient, and more relevant to human health.
The tools to move beyond animal experimentation exist. What they need now is momentum, so this becomes the standard, not the exception.

I've been vegan for 20 years (since I was 13 years old), I get over 370g of protein every day, and these are 4 of my favorite high-protein vegan foods that are also very cheap.
1. TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)
It is dirt cheap. You can buy it on Amazon, or order huge bags from Webstaurant Store. That's where I get my 50-pound bags.
This stuff is super easy. If you've got a microwave, half a brain, some water, and 60 seconds, you can make yourself a little TVP meal.
If you want to take it to the next level, sometimes I'll mix it with oats and make a sweet high-protein TVP bowl with berries and other good things.
Usually though, I go the savory route. I'll mix it with taco seasoning and either throw it into a rice cooker or the microwave, whatever's easiest. I also love adding nutritional yeast for some extra B12 and extra protein.
Seriously, TVP is one of the easiest, fastest high-protein options out there. It does come with some carbs and it's very low in fat, so keep that in mind if you're tracking macros.
2. Vital Wheat Gluten (Seitan)
If you can't have soy, this might be where you want to be. There are two ways to use it: savory and sweet. Most people know how to make it savory. That's how I got into it.
My first bodybuilding coach told me, "You need to be making seitan." I said, "How the heck do you make seitan? I've never made that before."
Turns out it's easy. He had me mix the vital wheat gluten with nutritional yeast and seasonings. Usually I'll add soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and other Asian-style umami seasonings.
Lately though, I've been making it more Italian style by topping it with pasta sauce and seasoning it with rosemary, thyme, and oregano. It's super easy.
If you're on a budget and TVP isn't your thing, seitan should absolutely be next on your list. You can get close to 100 grams of protein per dollar.
If you get tired of savory foods, I'll mix it with bananas, throw it in the oven and make high-protein vegan seitan banana bread.
3. Organic Super Firm Tofu
Honestly, after being vegan for over 20 years and eating tofu almost daily for the last 15 years, it's not my favorite anymore. But what's cool is you can eat it straight out of the package.
One block has around 70 grams of protein. You can grab one at Trader Joe's, Walmart, or Publix for about three dollars.
Super easy.Most people don't want to eat it raw though. If you don't, crumble it into a pan and make a tofu scramble.
Add salt, pepper, garlic, nutritional yeast if you want and throw some ketchup on top when you're done. Easy meal with 70 grams of protein.
Most people don't need all of that at once, so make multiple meals instead of cooking half a block at a time.
4. Say Grace Soy Protein Isolate
It's a soy protein isolate. TVP is similar, but is a soy protein concentrate, so TVP comes with some carbs. Say grace has some of the best macros I've ever seen.
For the entire bag, you're looking at just 3 grams of fat, 36 grams of carbs, and 114 grams of protein. I order the 5-pound buckets because I'm a big dude.
What I love most is how incredibly simple it is. I normally just throw it into my rice cooker with some basic seasonings and a whole bag of frozen vegetables.
I use about five parts water to one part say grace. An hour later, I've got over 100 grams of protein sitting in my rice cooker. It's ridiculously easy.

‼️ YORK UNIVERSITY HAS BROKEN THEIR SILENCE‼️ Here's What They Said to Us.
The CCAC has closed its review of York's primate lab without finding a single deviation. The university is using that finding to attempt to end the conversation.
Following over three months of consistent outreach and requests to meet with the university, on August 12, Animal Alliance of Canada finally received a letter from Amir Asif, Vice-President Research & Innovation at York University.
It states that the Canadian Council on Animal Care has completed its review of York's primate research program. In Asif's words:
"the CCAC concluded that it did not find deviations from its policies and guidelines in the ethical use of animals in science at York University."
And then, two paragraphs later:
"we do not believe that a meeting with senior University leadership would be productive at this time."
Asif goes on to say "The University remains committed to conducting world-class research while upholding the highest standards of animal welfare and ethics"
Animal Alliance of Canada's position is that the highest standard in biomedical science today is innovative, human-relevant research. By that measure, what is happening in the Behavioural Sciences Building is not world-class. It is a methodology the rest of the field is actively working to leave behind.
Most Canadians reasonably assume there is a government agency inspecting research laboratories in this country. There isn't.
The CCAC is a non-profit body that writes Canada's national guidelines for animal-based science and certifies the institutions expected to follow them — York among them. It is not a regulator. Participation is voluntary, tied to eligibility for federal research funding through the granting councils. It has no statutory authority to compel compliance, levy penalties, seize animals, or shut a facility down.
Bento, Kenning, Magneto, Monkey Do, Hannah, Liesl, Mini-Sass, Olivia and Virginia remain at York University. Nothing about this outcome changes anything for them.
Real accountability will not come from the CCAC. It will come from public pressure and political action.
We are calling for three urgent steps:
Pressure York University to end its use of nonhuman primates in invasive research and release the macaques currently in its care to a species-appropriate facilities.
Pressure the Ontario government to extend Bill 75's new protections for dogs and cats to nonhuman primates too, ending invasive medical research on them across the province.
Pressure the federal government to accelerate investment in non-animal research methods, including organ-on-chip systems, computational modelling, and human-relevant testing platforms that eliminate the need for primate models altogether.
York University has told us, in writing, that it does not consider a meeting productive. It is entitled to that position. It is not entitled to have the matter end there.

A CCAC assessment is not accountability. It is a procedural step that almost always ends in continued certification and continued suffering. York's letter is what that looks like, in the university's own words.

I made the polenta with vegan butter. You can use cheese, but I wasn’t sure about how the vegan parm would work. I sautéed baby Bella’s in vegan butter.
Makes a nice side dish. Also, you can put seitan meat on top with a sauce. Versatile
Pretty simple, 4 cups of water to one cup of corn meal. Add two tablespoons of vegan butter when it is fully cooked. Add vegan cheese if you want.
