The American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) is a non-profit animal advocacy and educational
organization that unequivocally opposes and works to end experiments on animals, and opposes
all forms of cruelty to animals. Founded in 1883, AAVS is the oldest organization in the United
States devoted to ending the use of animals in research, testing, and education. We work with
students, grassroots groups, individuals, parents, educators, the media, and members of the
scientific community to legally and effectively end the use of animals in science through education,
advocacy, and the development of alternative methods to animal use.
Our members assist our efforts by becoming active in our campaigns, which are announced in our quarterly publication, AV Magazine,
and bi-monthly newsletter, Activate For Animals. Our magazine features in-depth articles on the scientific, legislative, regulatory,
and ethical problems surrounding various issues involving animals, with articles written by some of the best-known scientists and
leaders in the animal protection movement. In addition, our literature collection and websites provide thorough information on various
issues allowing those who care about animals to speak out against their use with an assurance of accuracy.
