🚨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.⬅️

Repost: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

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.

Repost from: Animal Alliance of Canada

‼️ 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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Repost: PETA

In another monumental win for animals, ACA International has exited the monkey-to-lab shipping business ✨🐒

This company has been on PETA's radar, and now we're glad to see it’s no longer involved in transporting monkeys to their deaths in labs because of your kind actions!

Hello friends,

I’m a cofounder of an animal rights organization called The Anti-Vivisection Alliance.

TAVA works hard to drive impactful change through global events, strategic collaborations, and compelling calls to action, uniting advocates worldwide to champion ethical alternatives in research and to uphold animal rights.

We would love your support by following us on social media.

Repost: March for Animals

IT’S OFFICIAL: We’re marching together. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

For the first time, the US and UK are joining forces — same cause, same dates, same demand: end animal testing, NOW.

📍 US March: Sept 12–26, 2026 | Albany, NY → Marshall BioResources
📍 UK March: TBD -Sept 26, 2026— actively being planned 👀

Our destination says it all: Marshall BioResources, one of the largest breeders of dogs for animal testing in the world.

Animal testing is outdated — science has moved on. The industry keeps breeding and torturing dogs not because it has to, but because change is slow and profit is easy.

The world is watching. The change is now. United, we march up to Marshall Bioresources.

📍Join for a day, a weekend, or the entire journey.
📣 Share the message.
❤️ Support the movement.
🔗 Learn more and sign up at marchforanimals.org

Together, we can build a future where animals are no longer bred to suffer. Science has evolved, it’s time our laws do too.

Follow along, share our posts, and stay tuned for UK details. This is a global stand against animal cruelty.
