STOP ANIMAL TESTING!

(NOT A U.S. RESIDENT - GO HERE TO SIGN THE GLOBAL BAN ON ANIMAL TESTING PETITION)

A new undercover investigation released by Last Chance for Animals exposes Rabbit Pyrogen Testing at a North American research facility.

Pyrogens are fever causing substances that can be found in medications. During Rabbit Pyrogen Tests (RPTs), rabbits are forced into restrainers, have substances injected into their ear veins and are monitored for fever development. At the end of studies, they are killed.

Despite reliable non-animal alternatives to RPTs available, approximately 400,000 rabbits worldwide are still used in pyrogen tests each year.

In June 2024, the European Pharmacopoeia announced it would end RPTs by 7/1/2025 in favor of non-animal alternatives. However, in North America, no such standards exist. Despite alternatives being available, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations are still choosing to engage in this cruel and needless animal suffering.

Please urge Congress to support legislation that ends animal testing in the U.S. and promotes non-animal testing methods.

Your elected officials need to hear from you!
