The American Anti-Vivisection Society

I have been a long time supporter of AAVS and we should all be thankful for the hard work they do. Many animals have been saved from fear and suffering in labs and elsewhere because of their work. It takes a special group to do what they do and I’d give them 10 stars if I could!!

I trust and respect AAVS for the work they do to promote alternative methods of testing in place of using animals. I especially appreciate the Leaping Bunny program which I use as a trustworthy resource to identify cruelty-free items. I am grateful for AAVS for all they have done and continue to do on behalf of animals and moving the conversation forward to improve the lives of animals.

American Anti-Vivisection Society is an exceptional advocacy and educational organization factually exposing the plight of animals senselessly being tortured in research labs across the country despite so many cruelty-free and far more effective alternatives readily available to the research community today.  I often call attention to my favorite AAVS programs; Alternatives Research & Humane Science Education when signing petitions to my legislators demanding desperately needed and long overdue reforms within the National Institute of Health (NIH).

AAVS is one of the most venerable and respected nonprofits working to bring sunlight - and more humane and effective alternatives - to scientific research.

I have been supporting and donating to AAVS for many years. They are a great organization that works to help protect animals! Everyone should support them.

AAVS proves cutting animal open is barbaric and unnecessary. There are alternatives, and repeating experiments that were proven successful, is ridiculous. It is also a waste of money, time, energy, and perpetuates cruelty.

It is unbelievable the statistics AAVS reports of animals being experimented on, and with NO pain medicine. They people doing this care for themselveswhen hungry or feel pain, yet have no regard for theses innocent souls. AAVS has been dedicated since 1883, but needs so much more support to end these cruel out dated methods. We all need to express our concerns, because with the efforts of many we can become one in this battle!

There are so many horrible and sensless experiments conducted on animals, such as Johns Hopkins University cutting into the skulls of barn owls, inserting electrodes into their brains, force them to look at screens for hours a day, and bombard them with noises and lights. Such horrors do nothing to advance human health and are just animal torture, thankfully to the work of anti-vivisection societies, like AAVS there are people fighting against this.

AAVS fights to end the horrors of vivisection. It also provides a safe haven for victims of animal experimentation which is cruel, evil and morally bankrupt. AAVS is an excellent organization!

This is a comment I made in the past; my feelings toward AAVS have not changed. I am a past member of AAVS but to this day, I still support the work they do to bring to the forefront the suffering of animals in labs. I was made aware of this years ago; this activity is not seen or heard of much by the general public. AAVS tries to change that--to make the public more aware of the hidden horror that is animal testing. They are the voice of voiceless who suffer silently and most often do not survive the treatment they receive. They also support the animals who are lucky enough to survive through sanctuary and rehabilitation. AAVS will always have my support.

AAVS is an amazing organization, it reveals the cruelties are occurring every day in this country.
It also provides information on viable alternatives, humane alternatives that can be used instead of the antiquated and abusive ones.
I wish we had more organization like AAVS.

I am a huge animal lover and advocate and have a free animal lover website www.MyFourLeggedKids.Com. On our site we give links to the groups that we believe in the most who do great work. AAVS has a free link, proudly. There are many horrible things done to innocent animals and I think vivi-section...testing. horrible
painful, unethical, experiments for cosmetics, chemicals, drugs....ANYTHING is cruel and should not be allowed. I so appreciate AAVS for their dedication to stop this horrible practice.

I first became involved in animal rights over 40 years ago and the number one issue for me was animal experimentation. AAVS is an absolute leader in this concern. I am so grateful for their dedication, educational outreach, and advocacy for animals. There have been so many changes for the better. I am especially grateful for alternatives to classroom dissection so that young people can see we don't NEED to harm animals and cause suffering but we can be compassionate instead.

I've been a supporter of AAVS for many decades. I've checked various similar charities, their work, and their ratings involving expenses and finance. AAVS is great. They provide lots of useful information on alternatives to needless animal experimentation that involves horrific pain for the animals. It's one of the best, if not the best, non-profits dedicated to ending the needless suffering of all animals.

I've been a supporter of AAVS for decades. It's one of the best non-profits dedicated to ending the needless suffering of all animals. They not only bring to light the cruelties perpetrated in the name of "science" but also provide viable humane alternatives, education for current and future cruelty-free possibilities, and sanctuary for the animals who have suffered at the hands of humans. I am proud to support their many programs!

I love this charity for both its work and its mission. There is no more important animal rights cause then ending this horrific practice. AAVS excels at every aspect of this issue, education, legislation, research, and rescue. Please support them!

For decades now, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) has supported me in numerous ways to help protect animals. I have always been impressed by their scientific arguments to address issues regarding health and remove animals from harm at the same time.
About 30 years ago, I was president of a university animal rights group. We did not have a lot of funds, but we had a lot of enthusiasm for protecting animals. I contacted many animal right groups about getting literature to inform others about animal suffering. There were only two groups that gave us free literature at that time, and the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) was one of those groups.
I never forgot it and I consider them one of the best animal rights organizations I have ever come across.
They helped me almost twenty years ago when I took an anatomy class and the professor did not want to provide alternatives to dissection. They helped me in that fight, and my professor ended up working with me and she later told me that she considered me one of her best students.
Over the years, there were other questions that have come up where I tried to find the best solutions for addressing animal-related issues. AAVS has always been responsive and provided the support I needed. I am profoundly grateful that this organization exists.
Their work benefits both people and animals in that they find better solutions that reduce harm to all species.

I was made (forced) to dissect animals in grade school and then again in college. 40 years ago, as children and adolescents, we felt we did not have the voice to say no to authorities.
AAVS is changing this and helping to enlighten the public via education and advocacy.
I make this donation as a very small atonement and appreciation to the animals who were sacrificed under the scientific myth of "education".
Thank you for all you do.

I love AAVS. They've been a helpful, compassionate source of information for me for many, many years. There's really no anti-vivisection organization (SO, SO important...the thought that ANY animals suffer and die in labs literally sickens me) that compares. Those of us who love animals must band together and put a stop to archaic cruelty. I so appreciate AAVS for helping us do it.

AAVS has played an integral role in helping to end animal testing and I'm so very grateful to get to support such an incredible organization. The work they do is unparalleled and I recognize it as a highly effective way to educate the public about what happens to animals behind closed doors and to really shift the way the public views animal testing. Thank you for all of your hard work!

AAVS continues to support alternative scientific methods to replace animals in all areas of testing on behalf of human health. My PhD in Health Systems/Research Design & Methodology allowed me to review research studies that yield significant results with the use of human cells, tissues, organs, etc. with the most
efficiency for human health/welfare and cost. Additionally, AAVS funds sanctuaries that accept animals, released from laboratories. Moreover, the outreach to schools in alternative methods of dissection for students is most commendable. My support for the last 25 years will continue for their successful work.

Using animals for testing is so inhumane!!! Thank God for nonprofits like AAVS they’re’ amazing ������������

I once met a woman who quite proudly told me she practiced vivisection in a laboratory setting. I asked her how she could possibly do that - she shrugged and said "It was my job. And the animals were going to be euthanized anyway."
Thanks Worlds AAVS for helping the innocents, the voiceless.

The thought of seeing animals trapped in cages only to be tortured with exposure to chemicals and drugs is disturbing and abhorrent to me. Humans most always strive to achieve advances in medicine and science only through humane methods. Animals have no place in ethical research.
AAVS educates the public about the horrors and exploitation of innocent, unconsenting sentient beings used in experimentation to test chemicals and drugs. Better and much more advanced methods of testing drugs and chemicals without using no compatible species exist and are also far more cost efficient.

Using animals is immoral, unethical and fraudulent.

l embraced all-encompassing veganism/animal liberation advocacy as an ethical imperative for life 31 years ago. AAVS embodies this unwavering commitment. thank you...Damodar/Mark Wiesenfeld...3/19/2024.

I appreciate their mission to care for animals who are powerless to help themselves.

I first became a supporter of AAVS 30 years ago, when I first officially began my activism for animals. They fight tremendously hard to put an end to animal experimentation, and work to provide alternatives to animal research, which is very important because the two missions go hand in hand. In supporting AAVS I am confident that I am making a difference. --Donna D.

When I first read of the work that the American Anti Vivisection Society does I was 12 years of age. 63 short years ago. I have been supporting them and the work they do since then. It has been slow, but they continue to work at getting laws made to stop the use of animals in testing. By letting people know the truth about animal testing and how useless it is for helping humans, many people have come to realize how important their work is and continues to be. There are many new scientific proven ways of testing without using animals that are much more successful. AAVS is a very much needed organization.

The poking, cutting and constraining of non-human animals in so-called "research" labs brings nothing to science, it is just unbearably cruel and condescending. AAVS sheds light on useless activities taken forward in the name of progress that are akin to torture for millions of sentient beings, and that should be abolished once and for all. This work is extremely important, and humans must understand what goes on behind those closed lab doors. Thank you!

They speak up for innocent beings who are tortured in useless experiments. They stand up for justice and decency.

I've learned so much from this organization. When I first adopted my rescued lab rabbit from the House Rabbit Society, I was interested in finding other ways to address the horrors of animal cruelty and animal testing and found AAVS. I donate a small amount monthly. The fact that AAVS has been doing this compassionate work since the 19th century is inspiring. I have been particularly helped by information regarding cruelty free products, so the compassionate consumer guide is a huge service and help. I always look for the Leaping Bunny logo to be sure that products are cruelty free.

Since meeting Neal Barnard in Ithaca, NY decades ago, our family has been supporters of the AAVS. We love the mission, the integrity of the organization, and the amazing folks who work so diligently to improve the lives of all sentient creatures (INCLUDING humans)! We are grateful for all their current projects including Alternatives Research, Cruelty-Free Shopping, Humane Science Education, and Sanctuary Support.

The american anti-vivisection society is a long term and honorable society that continues to help animals. They do such amazing work helping to make more people aware of how much cruelty animals suffer in labs. This is critical work as many people are unaware of the horrific cruelty of torture and killing that take place in these labs. The AAVS also works diligently to help to end these horrific practices.

The American Anti-Vivisection Society is an excellent organization. They keep me informed regularly through e-news letters on the injustices afflicted upon animals in labs. Through these e-news letters, I am also able to sign petitions, to support a cause that is highly important to me. The AAVS gives a strong voice to the animals for whom they advocate and fight for.

I am grateful to AAVS for shining a light on things that would otherwise remain hidden, for speaking up on behalf of the voiceless, and for providing information on constructive alternatives to animal testing.

I am a long time supporter. I go back to the management for the wonderful William and Eleanor Cave. Proud to continue my relationship and support of this TRULY WORTHY animal welfare organization. They are very responsive to requeests for info or help and are leading the quest for equality for animals.

If only there were more non-profits like this one! Informing the public about what really goes on with helpless animals in labs is a service that needs a lot more exposure. So much experimentation on animals does not in fact help humans, but is just needless torment and agony for these innocent creatures. Thank you to AAVS for all they do, and please keep up the great work!

Have been in contact with AAVS since I became involved with animal issues many years ago. They are one of the "go-to" premier animal advocacy organizations in existence and I strongly recommend AAVS to anyone interested in furthering the public awareness of animal welfare.

AAVS is an extremely effective organization whose mission is to improve the lives of other creatures.

By focusing on creatures used in laboratory experiments, AAVS researches, suggests, and promotes modern alternatives to the current cruel and inhumane experiments, thereby reducing the number of creatures used in experiments.

They are an amazingly knowledgeable and compassionate organization who should be supported and praised for their efforts and accomplishments.

Sincerely,

Craig B Knapp

AAVS IS DOING AMAZING WORK IN EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT THE PERILS OF ANIMALS IN LABORATORY EXPERIMENTATION. THIS IS NOT A NECESSARY EVIL - WE HAVE COMPUTERS THAT CAN DO VIRTUALLY THE SAME WORK. BREEDING ANIMALS FOR LABORATORIES IS A VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS. AAVS HAS ALL MY RESPECT AND THANKS FOR THEIR ENDLESS DEDICATION FOR INNOCENT ANIMALS.

I have been a supporter of AAVS for many years now and they continue to hold fast to their principles and the goals that make their organization so important for improving the lives of animals. They have proven themselves trustworthy and honest and work tirelessly to to make a difference in our world, to make a better world.

Testing and killing animals for testing is outdated. Better and safer methods have been found to be more accurate! I have great respect for these people.

I have belonged to AAVS for 30 years. Sorry I do not donate any longer but circumstances have changed. I take action on all your alerts about animal exploitation. AAVS has been so prominent in bringing the horrible torture of animals in laboratories to the public's attention & ending much unnecessary animal research, plus other animal programs. You bring to light all the non-animal alternatives & provide so many of them. Thank you for all you do.

This is a great charity and a very important cause, because animals are God’s creatures and they depend on us to care for and about them. They don’t deserve to be subjected to and tortured by needless and ineffective ‘experiments.’

I would save all the cats and dogs I can. We live in an HOA community. They do not value any cats outside. I rescued 2 cats and they live with me and rescued a few pups around this area. But this area is high traffic. Everyone should keep pets indoors.

I have known this wonderful organization for barely 2 years. I am not a regular donor of this organization as I am retired snd depend only on my monthly SS benefit, but I try to give even a small amount whenever I can for I believe in their mission of ending cruelty to innocent and helpless animals, especially those animals in the laboratories. I am in awe of their dedication and passion to improve the lives of poor animals.

This organization is so important in stopping cruel experiments on animals in laboratories. These experiments are redundant and useless as they relate to human betterment so animal suffering is absolutely unnecessary to begin with. Some "experiments" have led to human tragedies because of this problem! These barbaric practices have to stop and all animal cruelty done in the name of science has to end. There are much better alternatives now that give results that relate so much better to human outcomes. These labs only benefit the greed of the breeders who raise the animals and the barbaric instincts of the "scientists" that practice these "experiments" on them.

I have been an AAVS supporter for many years. I LOVE the fact that they tackle major universities and show them how their medical schools and research departments can accomplish their goals W:ITHOUT those disgusting, barbaric and antiquated methods!
WELL DONE AAVS!!!!!!!!!!

I have been supporting this charity for many years. It is critical that someone steps in and takes responsibility to protect God's creatures from harm, torture and abuse. it was never meant to be this way. I am grateful that this organization is an advocate and saves as many creatures as possible from the cruel practices by others. This is what humanity should be doing for those who have no voice. Thank you.

I have been a member and supporter of AAVS for at least 20 years. They have led an amazing fight against the exploitation of innocent animals. After years of this pain and suffering scientists are finding that these horrible and toxic tests are not very effective in helping humans. I also love that AAVS does not bombard me with tons of emails every month. They make me feel good about giving to them.

I came to know AAVS years ago, after reading a book about the horrors of animal experimentation and searching for an organization that worked to end these cruel practices. It takes special people to face the reality of the animals exploited for research and development, and AAVS has always been an honest steward of the funds that are donated. This is a very reliable, compassionate and efficient group of workers, deserving of any financial aid provided towards their goal to end animal experimentation and all forms of animal cruelty.

A top notch, dedicated, group of individuals working tirelessly as a voice for the over 50 million animals suffering in horrific and unnecessary anthropocentric experiments each year.

An effective organization with a clear mission. Proud to be a supporter.

As a supporter and volunteer in other organizations I've still learned so much from The AAVS that I can apply to my work. Their newsletters and emails are so informative and helpful, I actually look forward to receiving them. :)

This organization does great work to stop unnecessary cruelty in laboratories, including many publicly funded ones. I am proud to support their work, and I applaud their successes!

Wonderful NECESSARY work they do to prevent animals from being used in labs and in experiments !

AAVS is a valid and long time charity. Many years ago as a new healthcare worker ( I still am one) I was sucked into the belief animal research was necessary. I did not know what went on in the labs , until a microbiology class my classmate told me she used to work in one and had to quit because it was so horrendous. My eyes and heart started opening. I became a vegetarian, now vegan, and did more research. Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has fact based research showing animals are NOT necessary at all and in fact the outcomes are erroneous! AAVS of course has the same information. We have to support these causes. The for profit industries that breed the poor animals and use them so needlessly have to be stopped. I support AAVS and hope for the day we won't need to.

All my life I've been against Vivisection. This organization has read my mind and my heart in its good works through the years. Helps to prevent needless animal suffering. I recommend it for your time, talent and treasure.

I first learned of the AAVS in 1975 as a teenager. I found a pamphlet of their on a train. I have been a supporter ever since!

AAVS sends a fantastic, unique message to save the animals!

They do really amazing work! Fighting for the voiceless and innocent.

The reviews left by others are spot on--I really can't improve on their eloquence. I continue to be amazed that with advancements made with artificial intelligence, 3D printing, lab-created non-animal tissue, and the current ability to realistically duplicate anatomical models, animals are still used for cruel experimentation and in educational institutions as teaching resources. And, how does a mouse's or frog's anatomy duplicate that of human's? And, do folks realize that animal experiments are also being conducted in space on the International Space Station? Thank you AAVS for all that you do on behalf of the defenseless animals that suffer.

I have been a supporter of this charity for many years. They do great work helping to not only make people aware of how much cruelity animals suffer in labs, but helps end these horrific practices, as well as getting some of these animals out of labs and into good homes. A voice for the hidden and voiceless, doing necessary work. i ferl good to donate hard earned money, i knowvit is well used

Wonderful charity that give their all to the worthy cause of educating the public and helping leave the outdated, cruel and unnecessary animal testing behind.

I love that AAVS has been a pioneer in cruelty free shopping and the Leaping Bunny program. They also have worked for decades to provide students for support and alternatives to vivisection in schools. Their publications are also excellent. Top notch group!

They work to improve the lives of animals and that work is desperately needed. I give them my support and encouragement to continue in their work.

After taking a laboratory medicine class and finding out the real stories behind animal testing, I decided to support AAVS in their quest for testing alternatives. I also support Leaping Bunny. So many Americans do not know the cruelty behind the products they buy. I'm pleased to be part of AAVS's mission.

I’ve supported AAVS for a number of years and truly appreciate their tireless efforts to end animal abuse in all forms, be it ending animal testing for cosmetics, or providing sanctuary for chimpanzees who were kept in labs or years, or providing humane science education as an alternative to animal dissection in our schools. I wish I would’ve had a choice when I had to do dissection in high school - it still haunts me to this day. And I absolutely love their Cruelty-Free shopping app. It’s one of the most used apps on my phone, as it helps me make better informed choices when shopping for cruelty-free products.

AAVS is at the forefront of logic when I comes to animal experimentation. We know that many experiments on animals are done out of curiosity or on known factors that do not need to be repeated. AAVS educates and gives sound reasons why this research seldom if ever translates to human health. There are alternatives which AAVS recommends and NIH and certain universities must listen to this organization that’s shown amazing professionalism.

I just want to thank you for everything you do for animals. We need more nonprofits like you! Keep up the awesome efforts and try not to get compassion fatigue. We have your back. Just keep doing what you're doing! WE WILL END THIS GRISLY INDUSTRY SOME DAY! We need to educate the self centered!

I strongly support The American Anti-Vivisection Society for many reasons, most especially their cruelty-free shopping and the sanctuary support. Given all the horror that our planet and animals current face it's so good to know this wonderful society is dedicated to helping instead of harming our planet and it's sentient beings. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic! We love everything you do for animals! We donate every year.

A thousand Thanks for your work in educating the public on the horrors of vivisection. You are the Voice for so very many innocents who suffer unimaginable cruelty at the hands of people in laboratories.

AAVS is one of the most established and professional animal advocacy organizations that exists. I am a proud monthly supporter because through advocacy, policy, funding, and education, they continue to make a difference in the lives of animals who are trapped in labs and forced to endure cruel, “scientific” experimentation. I fully support the work of AAVS and am grateful for all they do for animals.

This nonprofit shows responsibility in allocating money it receives to protect animals. As a retired science teacher I take pride in donating to AAVS whenever possible

I get lots of emails from them with great stories and many ways in which I can help animals by signing petitions, reach out to governmental agencies and contact my Congressional Reps and Senators. The agency does valuable work, bringing things to our attention that might normally slip under the radar. We should all be taking care of animals on our planet because so many have disappeared over the past decades. Some have become extinct and others are on the verge, so I always look for petitions to sign which can bring attention to their fate. This is a really good organization doing very important work.

This is the non profit that started me on my animal rights journey. I became vegetarian because of this group, started paying attention to animal testing and refuting peoples assumptions. Been a wonderful resource as well.

AAVS funds alternatives to animals in research, provides students with alternatives to dissection in school, guides consumers toward humane companies and products, and gives sanctuary to animals in need. What better non-profit to support than this? AAVS is my choice of charities on smile.Amazon.

AAVS is helping to save animals from cruel experiments. Animals deserve to live their natural lives free from human torture.

AAVS is one of the best non profits fighting to save the lives and reduce suffering in animals subjected to the horrors of experimentation. No one would know truly how much pain animals endure if it weren’t for organizations like AAVS. We as human beings and the animals owe them a great deal of gratitude as they shed light on the horrific and needless abuse of animals in labs. There are many alternatives that are much more effective and reliable than using animals in experiments. AAVS has been working tirelessly to improve the lives and promote alternate means of testing! Please consider supporting this great non profit as they continued their very important work!

I have been a member/donor for many years. This organization has done a lot to help decrease and stop needless and cruel animal testing.

I first became aware of AAVS approximately 30 years ago while conducting research for an undergraduate speech I was preparing against animal testing and vivisection. The materials I found sickened me, gave me great background for my speech and made a lifetime member and donor of me. Since then I have used their Leaping Bunny program and data to inform my shopping experiences and have kept abreast of the wonderful work that they continuously do for all animals in need. Though they are not the only organization who speaks for those who have no voice, I rank AAVS as one of the absolute best. I applaud their dedication and tireless work. They have my utmost respect.

AAVS’s does really important work, including promoting Alternatives Research, Cruelty-Free Shopping, Humane Science Education, and Sanctuary Support. AAVS is tireless, persevering to stop barbaric vivisection on animals and to end this kind of animal suffering. I love the Leaping Bunny site, it helps us find humane alternatives to so many different consumer items. Thanks for all you do AAVS!! ~Kathy D.

AAVS has been an incredibly important source of information and education addressing the state of animals in Laboratories and medical research.
I have been grateful for the expert and thorough data they provide in helping me fight for the END of ALL animal testing and use of animals for medical research.
They are dedicated and driven and have achieved many victories-helping to end the suffering of many animals-along with helping to create a more humane, human relevant testing system. This will ultimately save millions of tax payers money, animal lives and human lives!

AAVS is a voice for animals without a voice. They are proponents of and educators in alternative testing and learning methods to eliminate needless suffering of animals.

When I had a true animal crisis, AAVS was only one of two, out of all the charities, who actually spoke to me on a personal basis about the emergency and were willing to take some real action to help save the many animals involved. They were in contact with me on a person to person basis throughout the crisis
AAVS also operates several important programs such as, Animal Learn, Leaping Bunny, and non animal industry initiatives, which help save animals.
AAVS is worthy of all the support and recognition we can give them for the sake of the many animals they help save!

Thank goodness for this nonprofit group. Since a high school student I have been severely pained by the unethical treatment of these animals. In the last 10 years or so there have been other ways to measure the medicines and how they can work and in a much more efficient manner. Thank God for this group.

Proud to support the work of this important organization. Strategic and effective, they give voice to the helpless to bring about real policy changes.

Anyone who respects life in all its manifestations will adore AAVS! This world would be heaven if no animals were killed or hurt by beings who have free choice. Remember the power of choice--and exercise yours to protect all who share our planet!

I have personally been fighting against animal testing for 35 years. The one thing that gets me about animal testing is their physiology is different than that of a human. For example, a cat can die if given aspirin but yet it's safe for humans.

"The question is not, can they reason? Nor, can they talk? But, can they suffer?" Jeremy Bentham, philosopher, 1748 - 1832.

Social responsibility, ecological preservation and evolution of consciousness are the challenges of this age. It is evident that we have not yet fully evolved as a society when the unconscionable practices, cruelty and inhumane suffering of ALL afflicted animals (no matter what the reason), is still a reality in the 21st century. On the contrary, it's despicable!

I am heavily involved in all facets of animal welfare work from a local to an international level for 51 years and still at it today. I know this organization and the wonderful work they do to help animals. They don't give up where others have failed - they just keep working to improve conditions. Bravo to all of you for doing what you do to help animals.

(paraphrasing here) "The greatness of a civilization is judged by how it treats other lives and species." Other lives are not here for us to play with, torture, experiment, wear in "luxury", disregarding as sentient beings. It has taken 5 billion years for this miracle of life on this planet to reach its interdependent, awesome cohesiveness and wholeness - and a blink of an eye for us to inflict unbelievable suffering and wanton disregarding for that, as well as potentially destroying all life - including ourselves. AAVS has always been on the vanguard for educating, protecting, exposing, qualifying the intrinsic value of all life - and our moral imperative to respect and cherish it. As well, we have Leaping Bunny, my shopping bible (beware of products claiming to be cruelty-free if they do NOT have LB or Peta or the kitty [I forget the name - a new cruelty-free investigation group] symbols! Amazon is one of the evil perpetrators, claiming so many of their products to be cruelty-free - until you ask the vendor or manufacturer and receive - silence!!)

AAVS has helped to protect animals in abolishing cruelty and the callous, needless suffering of unnecessary testing and experiments. I stand with them in the hope to make testing on all animals illegal.

I have supported AAVS for many years because of their tireless work to find alternatives to animal testing. There is no justification for this cruelty.

AAVS commitment to saving animals is outstanding! They speak up for the voiceless and apply practical solutions so that real change happens for innocent animals. Thank you for all you do!!!!!

AAVS is a top notch charity that has convinced me to become a monthly donor/supporter. They advocate regularly for animals abused in labs and encourage researchers to adopt cruelty-free, more effective alternatives to dissection and other animal testing. Their Leaping Bunny shopping app also allows people to pick/buy cruelty-free products.
With the rapid advance of our society's technology, there is no longer any need to abuse animals for research. AAVS has hastened the transition to these cruelty-free alternatives, and that's why I have chosen to support them with an electronic monthly donation.

I have been a life member of AAVS for more decades than I am able to remember. I can recall when Bernard Unti was president and he and I became friends, I was kept abreast, in a most personal way, of the projects and undertakings of the organization. At that time there were three major national antivivisection organizations on the scene; now there are only two, making AAVS's work even more important. From the days of Mr. Cave. the AAVS has been on the forefront of fighting the evil that is vivisection. Before the major animal rights organizations of today, AAVS was there leading the good battle. When the definitive history of the animal rights movement is written, AAVS will be listed as one of the pioneering organizations. AAVS has always funded and supported major efforts and campaigns to fight vivisection. Without the efforts of AAVS, we would still be advocating and funding the archaic, nonscientific and inhumane methods of Dr. Claude Bernard, the father of vivisection. AAVS deserves all of our enthusiastic support.
---Murry J. Cohen, M.D.

As a society, a nation, a world... we have NO RIGHT to subjugate, torture, and abuse those so-called "lesser beings" that so graciously share their planet with us: AAVS leads the pack in educating, agitating, and advocating for the most 'humane' respect that "humanity"can extend to these creatures that we have been given the privilege of guardianship over...

AAVS is a fantastic organization doing wonderful work. They research alternative methods so that animals do not have to be used in research. They also support animal sanctuaries.

Can never express enough gratitude for AAVS and Sue Leary for suing the USDA to get basic protections for birds. You fought the battle for decades and won! And now you are fighting to make sure promises made are promises kept by the USDA and working to ensure that standards for birds are all that they should be. Thank you for taking on this critical issue ignored by the rest of the humane community.

I am always impressed by the work AAVS does on behalf of animals, especially through education of the public and by encouraging the development of alternatives to the use of animals in research. But I have been even more impressed during this pandemic by the organization’s dedication to continuing its work behind the scenes, despite the difficulties — helping science teachers to make use of alternatives to live dissection as they adapt to online teaching; helping sanctuaries that care for animals that have been freed from labs; and continuing to pressure government agencies to live up to their responsibilities on animal policies.

AAVS’s does amazing work for animas, which also benefits humans. This work includes Alternatives Research, Cruelty-Free Shopping, Humane Science Education, and/or Sanctuary Support. I use the crudely free shopping app all the time.

The American Anti-Vivsection Society is a wonderful, long standing organization that does amazing work for the welfare of all animals. They research alternative methods for testing in medical laboratories to show that animals do not have to be used and abused in tests. These alternative methods provide much better data regarding humans and saves the animals from cruelty and death. They support sanctuaries and promote cruelty-free shopping and just recently won a court case for the welfare and protection of birds. I believe in them so much that I named them my charity organization on Amazon Smile. Keep up your wonderful work, AAVS. The animals and the public need you.

AAVS is an exceptional organization that works tirelessly to end the suffering of animals. Their education department, Animalearn, sponsors the Science Bank, which is a humane alternative to dissection and is available to students and educators alike. And their free Cruelty-free shopping app is my favorite phone app, as I can check for cruelty-free products as I shop! It's the best!

AAVS cannot be missed for the sake of the animals suffering in laboratories, an excellent organization!

I have followed and supported AAVS for years. Their mission is so important for the lives of millions of animals. I would suggest that anyone get to know them to understand the need to abolish cruel and ineffective vivisection.

I became familiar with AAVS years ago and have followed/donated ever since. I love how they fight to end animal testing and provide Humane Science Education and Alternatives Research.

I learned about the AAVS while researching ways to help animals used in labs. Their name came up everywhere. I subscribed to emails from them and visit their site frequently as well as looking into the things they do. All around, I’ve been extremely impressed. All the staff are passionate about what they do, and the emails help you make a difference for animals. The things they do are never to antagonize anyone, rather to persuade and encourage. I love helping animals, and so does the AAVS. Working with them was a great choice. Thanks so much, guys.

I am very grateful for the work of AAVS . They provide so much invaluable information to the public on the vivisection issue and ceaselessly advocate for the helpless and voiceless victims of this horrific business. I also deeply appreciate their campaigns and sanctuary work. I am always confident that my contributions will be well spent, as should other potential donors.

AAVS is an organization that is true to its mission and never wavers in its dedication to end the use of innocent animals in laboratories. We have been supporters of AAVS for over thirty years and have named the organization as the beneficiary of our estate.

When I needed help with a large scale animal emergency, AAVS was one, of the only two, out of all of the animal welfare organizations I could contact, which responded with actual in person assistance! Also the AAVS Animal Learn program is unique and very important in educating the younger generations about how to be animal friendly in the future. I commend AAVS for their hard work and dedication to end animal experimentation and cruelty.

I've been an avid supporter of AAVS for about 40 years since i became active in Animal Welfare. We needed an organization to tackle, explain & debunk so many of the nonsense invasive experimentation being done on innocent animals. I was personally involved in engaging a member of Congress getting involved & having the GAO cut funding for an especially dubious research project being funded by our taxes.

One of the first Animal Welfare Advocacy Groups that inspired me to transform my anger into change and continues to be relavent in the present day.

This is an absolutely wonderful organization. They have done and continue to do so much to improve the lives of animals.

Wonderful caring people who are dedicated to making animals' lives better. I am proud to support this organization!

AAVS has been a steadfast advocate for the helpless and voiceless.
Their work is tireless and has accomplished much in the prevention of cruel and useless experimentation.
Nancy Fortmann

I became aware of vivisection from a school paper written by a friend years ago; it opened my eyes to the horror of what animals used in research go through. I found AAVS via a web search, and through them, learned about efforts being made to reduce and eventually end the use of animals in research labs. I have been a member and continue to participate in "Activate for Animals," their online program to encourage activism. They are a strong voice for the voiceless, an advocate for the hidden and forgotten, and a champion to those suffering at the hands of humans for the sake of research, when alternatives are available. Thank you AAVS for being the voice for those who can't speak for themselves.

I admire AAVS because it never waivers in its commitment to animals. It helps animals on a day-to-day basis by providing teachers and students of all ages with alternatives to vivisection, by educating the public on how individuals can play a huge role in humane treatment of animals, by monitoring companies’ claims that their products are cruelty-free, and by helping to support sanctuaries that care for animals freed from laboratories. But it also takes the long view by working to change government policies, educating the public, and working with scientists to find alternatives to the use of animals in research.

I have been donating to AAVS for all these years because I believe in the work they do. They have helped countless innocent animals and they also brought animal awareness to the public.
The achievements they have made brought protection to animals in abolishing cruelty and needless suffering of unnecessary testing and experiments. Experiments that have been repeated over and over for years !
Go AAVS, you do fantastic work. We're right behind you all !!!

Such important work, for those with no voice. The importance of this organization cannot be overstated. I'm so grateful

AAVS has remained in the forefront for animal rights. Anti-Vivisection needs to be abolished and they have never waivered in the fight. Their educating the public and encouraging them to make their voices heard in 'citizen action' and supporting the vendors whose products are 'cruelity free'.

Aavs. Is one of the oldest org in fight to save and come up with alternate means of research wherein animals are not involved. Who ever said we had the authority to use and abuse animals, NO ONE. Stop now, not in future these animals can't wait any longer and aavs I believe looks to the day they will be no longer needed.

AAVS is one of the few consistent advocates for eliminating experimentation on animals. The thought of using innocent animals for "research" and "experimentation" that has little if any benefit for humans is sickening. This organization has shone a light on the waste, cruelty, and inhumanity of animal sacrifice in the name of "science." They have also done so much to replace animal dissection with better alternatives in training and educational programs. I will forever be a donor to their amazing commitment and action.

Because AAVS protects animals from unconscionably egregious cruelty by scientists who are experimenting for medical benefits for human beings, and I love all animals, I have been a monthly financial supporter of AAVS during the past several years.

I have been a supporter of AAVS since college (many, many years ago). As it is said, a lab animal never has a good day. A majority of the research is unnecessary and cruel, done only for government grants, and is out of the public eye. AAVS brings these practices to light and offers alternative solutions for the unseen/unheard! The public is becoming more aware of unnecessary cruelty and standing up against it, but the work is far from done----money and 'tradition' is difficult to overcome. Keep up the good work, AAVS, and I hope more will join this very worthy organization.

I support AAVS because they're effective and make a tremendous difference in the lives of innocent animals. AAVS makes significant achievements toward increasing protections for all animals, as well as abolishing the cruelty and needless suffering of using animals in "scientific testing."

Thank goodness that the Anti-Vivisection Society exists to advocate for nonhuman beings that are being used for medical research and subjected to pain, terror, and isolation. Their programs including Alternatives Research, Cruelty-Free Shopping, Humane Science Education, and/or Sanctuary Support make the end of antiquated vivisection viable. We can do better than tormenting beings in the name of research. Supporting the Anti-Vivisection Society can get us there.

I have been with aavs for years they stand for ending animal abuse ending animals in the Laboratories which is my pet peeve and we should abolish all animals in Laboratories this year and they're also on top of my list of being top rated

AAVS is one of the few organisations in the world who are seriously working towards ending experimentation on animals. Their work is precious and must be acknowledged and supported!

As a young woman in the 1980's, I came across this organization. I change my shopping methods, cruelty free only, advocacy for animal rights, eating healthier, and then raised my daughter the same way.

This nonprofit is very responsible and educating the public about animal experimentation that is unnecessary and cruel. They run campaigns that actually help animals locked in lives of lab experimentation and get policies and procedures changed. They improve animal lives and furthermore provide the public with honest information on this archaic practice of animal experimentation. Please support this important work.

My becoming aware of the act of vivisection was one of the key factors in my now 23 years of vegetarianism. To quote the great George Bernard Shaw, "Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character." That quote, like the AAVS, puts principals, morals, and ethics in the driver's seat. I respect that. They not only look to end vivisection but they offer sensible alternatives, educational pathways, sanctuary support, and shopping tips to see that through. It's simply not enough to complain, we must have a legitimate Plan B. AAVS is just that. AAVS is classy, smart, and driven to fulfill all of our dreams of a experiment-free life for all earth's living creatures. For that, they deserve our upmost respect.

With so much focus on animals for food, this organization does the world a great service by educating people about animals in laboratories. The use of non-consenting animals as test subjects has become scientifically unnecessary and outdated. Thank you, AAV!

AAVS cares about animals! I support their efforts and encourage others to do the same!!

AAVS does essential work to seek to end cruel and, in this age of so many better and more effective research methods, unnecessary experimentation on sentient animals. I support them with major donations.

Thank you so much, AAVS, for working to protect animals from use in education, research, testing, and that greatest horror, vivisection. The cruelty that human beings exercise on animals is self-propagating, as cruelty sits in and promotes further indifference to suffering. Thank you so much, AAVS, for bringing cruelty to light and developing ways to stop it. My very small budget allows me to donate only a little money each month, but I am so proud to do it, and carrying the Leaping Bunny membership list with me everywhere, in every purse, enables me to shop responsibly and to educate others about cruelty free shopping and the work of AAVS.

I love and support AAVS because I think they're effective and make a tangible, significant difference in the lives of innocent animals. Plus, Leaping Bunny had such a huge impact on me that I just refuse to buy anything that is not certified.
I'm careful about which orgs I support because I have a very limited income and I want the modest donations I can offer to matter. With AAVS, I'm confident that they will use these funds wisely.
AAVS is great at staying connected to supporters and the public and it's important for me to know about their achievements and the progress they're making towards increasing protections for all animals, as well as abolishing the cruelty and needless suffering of using animals in so-called scientific testing and experiments. I also vehemently oppose using animals in schools for medical training and dissection, especially since AAVS has promoted some excellent alternatives.
I only regret that I can't give much more generously but I intend to continue my support of this worthy, dedicated group at whatever level I can and in every way possible. It's an investment of which I'm proud.

The horror of animal cruelty, especially live animal experimentation, is something I cannot grasp ... that a sentient human being would torture another living being for any reason is criminal. AAVS is on the forefront in the fight against such atrocities.

In my bachelors and later in medical training, I never thought much about the animals that we sacrificed in order to learn. It wasn't until years later, as a pediatrician taking care of little patients that cannot tell us what is wrong, that I have become aware of the horrible sacrifices we have made of the voiceless in the name of medicine.
I remember the days when we used to do spinal taps on infants WITHOUT a local anesthetic. We just held them down. We had just started giving local for circumcisions. I find this appalling and cannot believe I was ever a part of it. I believe that the pain of animals is the same as any living being that cannot tell us to stop, including infants.
I have been heartened to find a non-profit that is dedicated to ending this pain and suffering. It is not justified, nor is it necessary, for medicine to be taught in this way any longer. Thank God the American Anti-Vivisection society is our voice of reason and humanity.

Great non profit organisation really cares and works for the voiceless to stop the evil and torture they suffer

AAVS is low-key but effective, with a clear and focused mission. That is not the case with many non-profits!

AAVS is one of the best organizations looking out for animals well being and stopping the experiments on live animals and getting these poor animals out of these torture laboratories. IT IS TIME TO STOPS LIVE EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS. MOST OF WHICH THESE EXPERIMENTS HAVE NOT PRODUCED ANY CURES OR BENEFITED HUMANS.

This is the only organization that to my knowledge is working hard to educate and advocate to put an end to the cruel and unnecessary animal testing.

I carry the AAVS Leaping Bunny list of cruelty-free companies to consult whenever I am considering buying a product. AAVS is the leader in creating change in the way companies test their products, by providing efficient, feasible alternatives, such as virtual science. AAVS aims to eliminate animal testing, especially within the cosmetics industry. Its commitment to keeping animals free and safe is unprecedented. Thank you, AAVS, for your dedication to creating an animal-friendly nation.

The tears return each time I think of Rodney, the trusting dog who befriended duty-bound interns who inflicted him with painful repeated medical procedures in the name of science. I taught science and see no need to inflict this kind of pain on innocent creatures when alternative teaching models exist. I cannot imagine watching the fading trust in Rodney's eyes with each new painful practice procedure. And pigs are smarter than dogs, but they are treated evenly less humanely. Thank goodness there are folks like AAVS who speak up for the small creatures who cannot speak for themselves. For that, I will be forever grateful.

THEY DO GREAT WORK FOR ALL THE ANIMALS. SAVE THEM ALL FROM BEING USED .

Such a great voice for animals! In this day and age, there is no reason to have animal testing/experimentation. Thank you for being their voice and bringing awareness to their plight.

I contact my D.C. Representatives weekly to stop horse soring, horse roundups, and the permitting of U.S. horses, donkeys, and mules (wild and domestic) to be taken to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.

AAVS brings awareness to the plight of animals that a lot of people have never given thought to. This practice is so horrible and unnecessary. They educate, they advocate , and they provide alternative options. They are the voice of these animals.

I love you guys! Always vigilant and aware of how to help and take action for animals.
You do great work.

Few organizations are more effective on more fronts than AAVS in educating the public and freeing animals from the horrors of vivisection. AAVS is the right organization for the discriminating donor wanting to know for sure that his/her funds are making the biggest impact. I strongly endorse AAVS!

The American Ant-Vivisection Society (AAVS) are the voice for the voiceless Animals. AAVS promotes awareness, educates the public, and stands up to corporate bullies whom are in the business of profit over compassion for all of Earth's creatures - human and non-human. AAVS is never discouraged but "we" anticipate the struggles, and a world with less suffering for the Animals translates to less suffering for all, and that is "our reward". Thank You !!!

I've been an AAVS supporter for many years. Through AAVS my children and grandchildren have learned about protecting animals and respecting animal rights. They have in turn, brought this message to schools with brief presentations of their own. They've spoken to their teachers about "Animalearn" and they even remind their parents (and neighbors!) while shopping to remember to check for products that have the "Leaping Bunny" symbol. Many of us in the family wear clothing that reminds people to acknowledge/respect animal rights and encourages people to ask about what that means. We've all decided to be a voice for the voiceless. All these actions would not have had the impact that they've had if not for AAVS and the information and education they've provided. This organization does all the right things when it comes to "being out there" in their effort to keep our fellow beings safe and happy.

The American Anti-Vivisection Society has saved the lives of thousands of animals by exposing the cruel treatment of animals that are experimented on for face creams and shampoos.

What is amazing is that these animals did not have to die. We have BETTER & MORE RELEVANT tests that can give results of the effects of cosmetics as well as medicines.

These tests are LESS EXPENSIVE and will save tax payers millions of dollars as well as the lives of millions of animas. THANK YOU AAVS.

Thanks for protecting the innocent and voiceless animals. The American Anti-Vivisection Society is the greatest organization having the highest moral and ethical standards.
Prevention of animal cruelty should be every civilized society's priority, and moral obligation.
Torturing animals is just as inexcusable as torturing another human being for profit or other gain and advancement in any area.

AAVS is an amazing nonnprofit who does tireless work to protect animals who have no voice. As an academic, I often come across vivisection in my studies. AAVS not only gives insight into the problems behind vivisection, but it also seeks equal, viable, and moral alternatives. This orginization has given me both the knowledge and understanding to promote an end to animal studies, and the courage I need to stand behind my principals in fields that almost always demand I participate in cruelty.

I am from Russia, but compassion knows no borders and it IS important for me to know people fight cruelty all over the world. And the USA is twice important since it is an example for many countries to follow. It is often said in Russia "Look how they do it in the USA!" - and that is equal to "this is the right way". I ask Americans to support this organisation because animal testing is a completely wrong and outdated thing, and the people in AAVS seem to me trustworthy. Good luck and God Bless America! Maria

I've been a member of AAVS for a long time. They are inspirational and dedicated to ending the morally bereft and unconscionable practice of experimenting on live animals. It's ridiculous that in 2017 innocent animals are being tortured and abused in experiments that can be done on computers! Thank goodness the AAVS is fighting the good fight for the voiceless!

Love your work! Thanks for being such a great voice for the animals, for those beautiful souls locked and abused in labs. The public is so removed from them! Bringing awareness and advocating for their freedom, whilst offering alternative solutions is an amazing cause that I admire and support. Thank you American Anti-Vivisection Society!

As a member of the medical community,

I believe it should never have begun in the first place. I believe time has come that we can end it. It is the right thing to do. There has been so many advances in alternative testing that it can reliably (and faster and cheaper) be used. We are all here on this planet and therefore we should ALL live happily. NEAVS does this. So I thank you.

The American Anti-Vivisection Society is doing the kind of work very few other organizations are able to tackle and deserves a standing ovation for its ongoing efforts to find alternatives to vivisection.

As a member of AAVS for years, I am inspired by its dedication and tenacity in freeing animals from the horrors of vivisection. While AAVS advocates on many fronts, I am most impressed by its commitment to developing alternatives, a most pragmatic approach. Its work is vital in actually ending inhumane "practicing" of mutilating and killing animals.

Love the work you do!
This is a very worthy cause that I am happy to support!

I have written to Universities that use animals in their labs to experiment on thanks to AAVS. I have written to congressmen in CO for action on issues of AAVS has allerted me to and I will write to protect the EPS vote. I have donated as I am able , I am disabled and on limited income.

As an RN student, I was required to dissect animals as a "learning tool". I had no choice. It left a scar & was meaningless as there is no comparison to human anatomy. The AAVS is a key player in stopping this horrific use of animals for surgical experimentation & dissection. This organization needs to be applauded & supported.

I'm truly inspired by The American Anti-Vivisection Society's dedication and tenacity in freeing animals from the horrors of vivisection. While AAVS advocates on many fronts, I am most impressed by its commitment to developing alternatives, a most pragmatic approach which shows the most promise to actually end this dreadful and debasing activity.

I am proud to support AAVS. I first started supporting AAVS because of their involvement with chimpanzees who are awaiting release from biomedical laboratories so they can finally have their well earned freedom in a life of Sanctuary. After years of life in labs, chimpanzees need and deserve the freedom that only a sanctuary can provide. AAVS was also a major player in seeking support for the 66 chimpanzees in Liberia.

AAVS improves the lives of animals through citizen activism, in-depth reports, legal strategies, and public education. I know my support and actions help AAVS with their ongoing campaigns and programs such as: Alternatives Research, Compassionate Shopping, Humane Science Education, and Sanctuary Support. (Sanctuary Support being a key focus for me!)

Thank God they exist and they work hard to end this unacceptable practice!

I have enjoyed helping this organization in their projects. I encourage all to support the great they are engaged in. I look forward to supporting them far into the future. Please share them with your friends so their work can be assured to flourish far into the future.

Thank-You

It is a shame that in today's world, an organization such as this is needed. But, needed it is, and it is a great one. They are the voices of the voiceless, and deserve all of our support.

Awesome, much needed work! Not many organizations are working in this area. AAVS is awesome.

I am grateful to be a member of AAVS. AAVS is an organization with integrity and an excellent reputation for providing advocacy for animals and humans alike, resources for those wishing to take action on behalf of animals and helpful information on issues important to me. I wish they had more members to provide an even greater base of financial support for their good works! I feel like I contribute to the important issues of animal welfare just by being a supporter and I look forward to the AAVS magazine to keep me updated on the latest efforts. I do sign up for the AAVS alerts- emails of legislation and up-to-the-minute appeals to organizations. These alerts allow me to be quickly advised of pending issues and creates the opportunity to respond to law makers & others in position to affect policies in mere moments with pre-populated (but personalizable) emails. I'm a "lay person" but all their literature is interesting and written in language easily understandable. Please consider looking further into the organization, I expect you'll be grateful too!

AAVS is a wonderful organization that works hard to support and advocate for animal rights and also educate the public about the harsh truths about animal testing. I have been a member for 20 years.

If the world had more people like this, we would all live in a better place. Thank you for caring and actually doing something about it. We need to end animal experimentation. It's cruel and useless. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -Gandhi

I appreciate all that AAVS does to eliminate the needless suffering of animals. It is a barbaric practice that is just not necessary. Bravo to AAVS!

AAVS is my absolute favorite animal-focused charity because they make advocacy so easy. With one or two clicks I have a pre-prepped email ready to send to my local government officials. It's empowering to be a member of AAVS!

Out of the dozens of nonprofit organizations that I have donated to, AAVS ranks at the very top for their high-level advocacy and educational awareness of animal welfare. And AAVS is facing new challenges with the advent of BMO's - Biologically Modified Organisms - the combination of two or more species to create "some-thing" new and abhorrent. If I only had $5 to go to charities this year, AAVS would that $5!

AAVS is a worthwhile organazation working towards ending animal testing , abuse, and neglect. I am a regular donor and will continue to support them. God bless them all for what they do for the animals. They are the voice for the voiceless.

AAVS does incredible and vital work to promote the cessation of cruelty to animals that we, the "superior" species, continues to visit upon them. Their mission of education, outreach, and support helps to make the lives of many of those creatures far better than they have been used to.

AAVS improves the lives of animals through citizen activism, in-depth reporting, legal strategies, and compelling public education; their many successful campaigns and programs, include alternative research methods, teaching the public about compassionate shopping, promoting the adoption of humane science education, and supporting sanctuaries. I am grateful that it exists, and appreciate the chance they give me to work beside them in their mission by promoting petitions I can sign, phone calls I can make, and outreach I can do on my own.

AAVS is a highly respected and active organization that gets to the heart of the matter - that is, saving our animal kin from torture, abuse and exploitation. No living thing should suffer at the hands of another, especially for many tests that wouldn't even be considered in court. Let's respect all creatures and agree we have no right to abuse them for any reason. AAVS has been working hard to prevent vivisection.

I always remember having to cut up a frog in biology class and I'm 75 years old now. It's a terrible, horrific thing to ask kids to do that. God gave us the animals to watch over and that's what the American Anti-Vivisection Society does, watch over and try to make their lives better. I've always hated the thought of animals being tortured by man experimenting on them, so that's why I love this group. They're trying to stop all the torture and save the animals.

AAVS is important to me because I believe no animal should endure a life of captivity and torture. AAVS is working to end this outdated and cruel practice.

I support the AAVS because I love animals and believe they should be free to live in happiness, without humans using them for personal gain. Every day in the name of "science", thousands of these beautiful animals are tortured and killed and most people do not even know about it. The AAVS gets the word out and helps people like me learn the truth and spread the word. They work to end this inhumane treatment and help save thousands of lives through their work and commitment to educate, heal, and ultimately put an end to these barbaric actions. Without them, many would be left in the dark, clueless to the cruelty that surrounds us. THANK YOU AAVS FOR SHOWING ME THE LIGHT! ♡♡♡

AAVS is one of the most important charities in the country that it would be difficult to attempt even a summary of the many projects in which they are involved.

I support the American Anti-Vivisection Society because what they do makes a difference both short-term, and most importantly, long-term. I read the reports and know that they have consistently gotten excellent results. I can't imagine a world without them and the work that they do.

I joined the American Antivivisection Society in the early 1980s as a lifetime member because I believe that animals are not here for food or entertainment of humans. The AAVS philosophy is in line with mine: education is key for young and old to expose and ultimately stop the inhumane treatment of all non-human life. This organization continues to set the standard for an animal rights organization. Bravo to them.

The American Anti Vivisection Society is an incredible organization. They fight for the well being of all animals as well as inform the public on the issues that may not be well known. They are invaluable.

American Anti-Vivisection Society is a wonderful organization doing much-needed, humane, and responsible work. Vote for this non-profit or support it, if you can.

We need organizations like AAVS, to bring issues to the fore ground, that people know nothing of or about and to continue their hard work and sometimes struggle to get the message across, that we need to make changes and be more understanding towards our fellow sentient beings, that also feel pain and suffering, grief, sadness and happiness just as we do. Thank you to AAVS for doing what you do and to keep up the good work.

One of the best animal organizations out there. AAVS makes changes happen. Keep up the fantastic work. I am honored to be a member.

Sincerely,
Marguerite

I have been a supporter of the AAVS for many, many years. I've written letters and sent post cards for their various causes. I applaud their constant efforts to see that animals are treated humanely.

I have been a long time donor and support the AAVS for their work to reduce animal suffering. Through their work to promote simulators instead of live animals, many animals have been saved from a cruel and unnecessary death.
