The Australian Association for Humane Research Inc. is an information service attempting to bring to the attention of the public the ethical and scientific arguments against the continued use of animals in research, and to counter the false claims made by the animal research lobby for over a century.



The aims of the AAHR are:



To promote all viable methods of healing which do not at any stage involve the use of animals;

To promote the use of scientific alternatives in all forms of medical, scientific and commercial research;

To help disseminate evidence, as it becomes available, that the use of alternatives is less costly, more accurate and more humane than the use of animals in experiments;

To work for the abolition of all experiments using animals.

AAHR is strongly opposed to the use of animals in research on both ethical and scientific grounds. We maintain that real medical progress can only be made through studying our own species and abandoning the use of animal experiments.
