Description: The New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS), founded in 1895, is a national 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to ending animal experiments and replacing them with modern alternatives that are ethically and scientifically superior.

Mission: One of the oldest and most respected animal advocacy organizations in the country, the New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS), founded in 1895, works to end animal experiments and replace them with modern, scientifically superior alternatives. Animals in laboratories suffer pain, death, and emotional trauma. NEAVS advocates for them by working to change laws and practices, fund the development of non-animal alternatives, and support rescues and permanent sanctuaries. In addition, NEAVS educates the public about the cruelty, waste, and scientific limitations and dangers of animal research. NEAVS brings together doctors, scientists, and other professionals who support our anti-vivisection mission with grassroots activists and the general public. Our mission is accomplished through educational and outreach programs, research and investigation, legislation, legal action, and strategic negotiation.
