🚨 Big change coming: The U.S. wants to end animal 🐁 🐇 research. FDA + NIH are backing new tools—AI, organ-chips, human data. Faster, safer, more human-relevant.

The future of science could be animal-free.

✅Quicker.
✅Cheaper.
✅More accurate.
✅More ethical.

But only if funding + policy keep up.
Is This the End of Animal Testing? FDA Announces Plans to Phase Out Animals in Drug Safety Studies
Organoids, organs-on-a-chip, and machine learning technologies have improved dramatically in recent years, but have they come far enough to replace animal research?

Replacing flawed animal tests with scientifically advanced, human-relevant methods benefits animals, patients, and public health alike.

How can you help this progress keep moving?

Ontario wants to ban dog and cat testing. That's great—for those animals. But the plan does nothing to stop labs from harming other species.
Selective empathy isn’t justice. It’s speciesism—and it props up the animal research industry entire system.

Protecting “Pets” While Hurting Others? That’s Not Justice
Ontario’s proposed dog and cat testing ban exposes a deeper problem in the animal research system: selective empathy that leaves millions unprotected.

Animal experiments mislead medical research and fail to predict human drug effects about 95% of the time.

Human-relevant methods—like organ-on-a-chip and AI modeling—are safer and more accurate.

Jury says: Rescuing Beagles is not a crime!

Four Animal Rising defendants have been found not guilty of burglary for rescuing beagle puppies from MBR Acres - and from a lifetime of suffering in a laboratory.

In just over an hour, the jury made it clear: compassion is not a crime.

For too long, animal experimentation has been treated as the default, despite its ethical costs and scientific limitations.

Let’s keep pushing for a research culture rooted in compassion, transparency, and true innovation!

📢 Big news: The NIH has officially announced it will prioritize human-based research technologies.

This announcement validates what many of us at Justify have known firsthand: that human-relevant science isn’t just possible—it’s necessary.

"Welfare" in a laboratory setting means "whatever we personally think is acceptable to achieve our own goal".
It's intended to mislead the public because it sounds pleasant. Only a fool can look images and videos of animals in labs and call it "humane". Words can deceive, our eyes see what is.
Welfare standards in animal research represent the minimum.

They aim to reduce suffering within animal use, not challenge whether animal use is necessary at all.

Our view is that welfare is the foundation. But replacement is the future.
