AAVS

Our Story

Founded in 1883 in Philadelphia, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) emerged from the British anti-vivisection movement. This organization has tirelessly worked to regulate animal use in scientific research and aims for the complete abolition of vivisection in the United States.
