Welcome to the BUAV's temporary website — please bear with us while we are creating a new user-friendly, comprehensive site. If you have a query please don't hesitate to contact us.

Our vision

For over 100 years the BUAV has been campaigning peacefully to create a world where nobody wants or believes we need to experiment on animals.

Did you know…?

Over three million animals are used for experiments in the UK every year. As a result an animal dies in a laboratory somewhere in the UK every 12 seconds. Not only are these experiments scientifically unreliable in predicting effects in humans, but there are many non-animal alternatives that offer a cheaper, quicker and more accurate solution.

The only things that prevent change are the lack of political will to actively seek alternatives and the vested interests that take the path of least resistance. A change of hearts and minds is needed.

What we do

Through undercover investigations, political lobbying, the promotion of cruelty free cosmetics and household products, legal and scientific expertise and media activities, we work tirelessly to make the world a better place for animals.
