Here’s the painful truth about animal testing—and how we can stop it.

[We won’t give up while animals are still suffering.]( [Humane Society Legislative Fund]( [Monkeys trapped inside of a cage in a laboratory.]( [Animals in Labs Need Your Help Today.]( [Donate Now]( Imagine this, friend, You live in a bare, sterile cage. The people who should be caring for you force you to ingest potentially toxic substances or smear stinging chemicals on your skin and eyes. You’re pricked with needles full of high toxicity drugs that make your veins burn and your organs revolt. There’s no escape, and there's no relief until your body finally gives out. That’s the reality facing helpless dogs, rabbits and other animals used for drug and cosmetic testing right now. But it doesn’t have to be this way. [Make a gift to the Humane Society Legislative Fund today to help us fight to protect millions of animals from animal testing and more.]( [Donate Now]( This nightmare for animals is the direct result of outdated policies, friend. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s guidance and regulations strongly encourage companies to conduct extensive animal tests to demonstrate that their drugs are safe for human use, when more effective non-animal tests exist that they can also use. And as a result, countless animals are suffering needlessly. HSLF is fighting for lifesaving policies in state legislatures and in Congress that can protect innocent animals from cruelty and abuse. We’re putting pressure on the FDA to prioritize non-animal methods and strategies in their drug approval process and advocating tirelessly to pass the Humane Cosmetics Act to ban animal testing for new cosmetics manufactured and sold in the U.S. Our end-of-quarter deadline is 3 days away. [Will you help us reach our $30,000 goal now with a donation of $20 or more to help win these urgent battles, end animal testing for good and continue our work to protect vulnerable animals nationwide?]( Thank you for your lifesaving support, [Sara Amundson Signature] Sara Amundson President Humane Society Legislative Fund [Donate Now]( [Humane Society Legislative Fund]( 1255 23rd Street, NW, Suite 455 | Washington, DC 20037 [Donate]( | [Contact]( | [Privacy]( | [Blog]( [HSLF Facebook Logo]( [HSLF Twitter Logo]( [HSLF Youtube Logo]( © 2024 Humane Society Legislative Fund (HSLF) | All Rights Reserved This message was sent to {EMAIL}.
