Excited to be presenting at Planet Health Innovation in Rome ☀️

NIH’s announcement marks a long-overdue shift toward modern science.

It cannot be treated as a side-project, we need a complete removal of animal testing. Read MWC’s statement below #nih #endanimaltesting

At Medicine Without Cruelty, our mission has always been to champion human-relevant science that doesn't rely on outdated and ineffective animal testing. Our updated logo reflects this ongoing journey—a bold and modern symbol of the future of ethical research.

Here’s what our new design represents:

Also history has showed us the consequences of testing potential medicines on animals - TGN1412 was administered to monkeys at a dose 500 times higher than humans but almost killed 6 healthy human trial volunteers -> we cannot risk human health!

We need to learn from global events - transmission of diseases from animals to humans has happened and had disastrous effects on the planet #covid . The longer these cruel practices are upheld, the more serious the risk to human health becomes!

Macaques may be up to 90-93% similar to us humans but that remaining 7-10% encodes fundamental biological mechanisms which makes us truly unique which cannot be replicated in monkeys!

Monkey farms are growing in numbers and being transported across the world - mainly to the UK and US. The recent arrival of macaque monkeys to the UK in devastating conditions highlights the brutality that our closest living relatives suffer from!
