About Animal Free Research UK
Animal Free Research UK is a leading organisation that firmly believes that experiments on animals are scientifically and ethically unjustifiable. The organisation advocates for pioneering animal-free research, recognising it as the most promising approach to finding treatments for human diseases.
While UK law upholds the principles of the 3Rs—replacement, reduction, and refinement of animal use in research—Animal Free Research UK does not support the 3Rs. Instead, the organisation is wholly focused on replacement, striving to enable scientists to cease the use of animals in medical research.
Animal Free Research UK only supports and funds research that employs non-animal methods, and does not back research that focuses on refinement, reduction, or any form of research involving animals or animal-derived biomaterials.
