The National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) is a Chicago-based organization dedicated to ending the use of animals in research and testing. They work towards this goal by raising awareness of the ethical problems and flaws associated with animal models, advocating for the development and implementation of humane alternatives, and funding innovative research in this field. Additionally, NAVS supports the retirement and care of animals used in research and promotes the use of humane teaching tools to replace traditional dissection in classrooms.
Through their efforts, NAVS aims to create a more compassionate future by advancing smarter, human-relevant research and advocating for animal-friendly changes to laws and policies. They provide critical funding to early-career scientists developing alternatives to animal testing, empower educators with humane teaching tools, and support sanctuaries that provide safe and loving environments for animals retired from research. By connecting students, educators, and advocates, NAVS strives to shape a kinder and more innovative future in science education.
