A new school year brings a fresh start for students and teachers who want to make a difference for animals used in education. AAVS’s education division Animalearn is ready to assist those compassionate individuals who are eager to avoid dissection and embrace non-animal methods.
With your help, we can end classroom cruelty!
Animalearn works to raise awareness about the plight of animals used in education, and to effect change that benefits animals, students, and schools.
- Studies show that students at all education levels, from kindergarten through college, learn as well or better with humane alternatives.
- A nationwide survey found that 75% of U.S. adults believe that students should have the right to refuse to participate in animal dissection.
- Alternatives enable students to learn and instructors to teach without harming animals.
MAKE THE SWITCH: Animalearn’s comprehensive library resource, The Science Bank, offers over 650 innovative life science education products—all available to borrow for free!
Sacrificing animals for education is unnecessary, wasteful, and costly, and merely demonstrates what is already known. Alternatives, which are humane, safe, effective, reusable, cost efficient, and environmentally friendly. Free Cool Tote Bag available with your help!
PETA Reveals videos change lives.

Help end appalling experiments on animals! This is going on right now at Texas A&M University (TAMU) in the United States and at France's Alfort National Veterinary School—and at other antiquated experimentation facilities around the world, animals are enduring similar agony in other useless tests.There are desolate, terrifying places where sick, frightened dogs cower in barren metal cages, with swollen tongues and jaw muscles so weak that they make swallowing even the thinnest gruel difficult. There are places where dogs are purposely bred with a painful canine form of muscular dystrophy (MD) that will leave them unable to walk, eat, or even breathe.
Over three decades of torturing dogs in hideous experiments have not led to a cure for MD—or even a single treatment to reverse the disease's devastating symptoms in humans.
As soon as PETA affiliates exposed the secret suffering of dogs at TAMU and Alfort, compassionate people flooded both institutions with e-mails and phone calls demanding change. Tens of thousands joined PETA's international affiliates in urging French charity AFM-Téléthon to cut off its support for grotesque, useless experiments on dogs—and many MD patients from around the globe are now publicly calling for human-relevant, animal-free research methods to be funded instead of dog torture.
We need every extra dollar we can raise from caring people like you to put into promoting modern, non-animal research methods that will prevent dogs and other animals from being abused like this and killed in laboratories. Your help today will bolster our work to stop painful, deadly experiments on animals.
