On Feb. 9, the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) approved a Resolution to transform the Oregon National Primate Research Center into a sanctuary–ADI presented evidence in support of the motion. Join the call for change, and better, humane science. #Unlockthelabs
Ridglan Farms—the Dane County beagle-breeding facility long criticized for cruelty—will be forced to surrender its license by July 1 2026, ending dog sales to labs in exchange for no charges. They will still be allowed to breed for internal tests. Not good enough. #UnlockTheLabs

The NIH has shut down its last in-house beagle lab after 40 years of taxpayer-funded cruelty. Thousands of trusting dogs were force-fed toxins, purposely infected with disease, and killed. This is a step toward ending the use of dogs in experiments. #UnlockTheLabs
In what could be ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BREAKTHROUGHS TOWARDS ENDING ANIMAL TESTING, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a ‘Roadmap to reducing animal testing in preclinical safety studies’!
