Animal Testing Updates, Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), The American Anti-Vivisection Society & Give a Gift That Protects Animals

Take Action Now to Prevent a Devastating Increase in Animal Testing. EU national authorities are planning to make changes to the law regulating chemicals (known as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, or REACH, regulation) that could mean thousands of animals will be forced to inhale or ingest nanomaterials in deadly experiments.
We must take action by demanding that European decision-makers stop increasing the number of animal tests and instead focus on promoting effective, humane non-animal methods.

By pushing for these changes, national governments and the European Commission are ignoring mounting scientific evidence that tests on animals fail to predict effects in humans. They should instead be working to prevent exposure to potentially harmful nanomaterials.

Please sign PETA's petition urging policymakers to reject proposals to increase animal testing and instead promote the development and use of modern, non-animal methods.


To: EU Member States and the European Commission

Please reject the REACH Annex updates that require the use of animals to test different nanoforms. If REACH continues to rely on animal tests, the goal of ensuring the safe use of substances will never be met.

By proposing these changes to REACH, national governments and the European Commission are ignoring Article 13 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which states that "the Union and the Member States shall … pay full regard to the welfare requirements of animals" when formulating and implementing policy, and are therefore failing in their duty to protect animal welfare.

We urge you to match innovation in materials with advanced science by accepting cutting-edge, non-animal research methods and working to minimise exposure to nanomaterials – thereby ending experiments that cause countless animals suffering and a painful death. Click here to help!
