NEAVS

Ethically, we reject speciesism (the belief that humans are superior to nonhuman animals), which underpins, empowers, and defends all manners of nonhuman animal use and exploitation, including experimentation. We believe that all animals are deserving of equal moral consideration and that no animals should be used as the means to others' ends." / "Scientifically, we understand that nonhuman animals cannot serve as predictive, reliable models for humans. That is to say, the crisis in "translation" between nonhuman animal experiments and human application is fundamental to science's exploitation of nonhuman animals and, therefore, insurmountable." / Economically, we oppose the use of billions of taxpayer dollars to fund unethical and, plainly, "bad" science that commodifies nonhuman animals and harms both humans and nonhumans... Rise for Animals builds on over 100 years of major victories we've achieved as a trailblazing organization called NEAVS or the New England Anti-Vivisection..
