Around 50% of all British testing on animals happens in universities. This little known fact is covered in this popular A5 leaflet.
Our Universities Challenged campaign targets universities and the cruel experiments they conduct. Although these experiments are not required by law, in 2020 they made up 54% of non-regulatory research on animals.
We believe universities, as establishments dedicated to future generations, should be at the forefront of cutting-edge, animal-free research methods rather than relying on cruel and outdated experiments. Future-proofing the next generation of scientists shouldn’t involve the suffering of millions of animals.
What's wrong with using animals in science?
Our information was gathered under the Freedom of Information Act and sheds light on the number of animals being abused in towns and cities across Britain.
The Universities Challenged campaign can be used by all students, whatever they are studying, because they deserve to know how their tuition fees are being spent.
Take action for animals in laboratories
There is no justification for harming and exploiting animals purely to obtain knowledge. Take action today for better science tomorrow.
