"In a corporate world that values advancements in eyelash enhancers over thousands of innocent animals lives, organisations like AAHR help to give the community the information we need to make cruelty free choices. The cosmetics companies and research centres have almost unlimited funding to promote and justify their actions but little money exists to defend the rights of animals.
By making more conscious choices we can redirect some of our spending in the direction of cruelty free products and services, helping a necessary industry to evolve. Our power and voice as consumers can be significant by making simple changes like cruelty free shampoo, conditioner, dishwashing liquid, soap and makeup, redirecting some of your weekly shopping budget into the cruelty free market and helping the industry take a stand.

"I want all experiments on animals to stop as soon as possible. These live experiments use force to inflict all manner of pain and abuse upon an innocent living being. This is violence. If these same things were done to our pets, we would be horrified and it would be punishable by law. Yet this violence is happening to millions of innocent beings all around the world. It's time for humanity to realise that these experiments are erroneous, outdated and profoundly unethical. It's time to set the animals free."

“It seems to me dubious that we have gained knowledge from animal experiments that we could not have had from other sources. But even if we could be certain that conducting an animal experiment would lead to knowledge useful for humans, I still think it would be wrong to conduct them. Some things should simply not be done, simply because they are wrong”

“Whilst we continue to use animals in medical research we’re wasting precious resources, time and money that should be used to find better, more ethical and scientifically-valid ways. Researchers may fear that without using animals there’d be no more medical progress, but that just isn’t true. I’m not a medical expert but I do know that medical progress will continue and we will find other, better ways to research. Let’s work more on living with animals rather than using them.”

"I love animals. Every time I wonder and distress about what my purpose on this planet is, it's looking to a friendly dog or the birds in the trees that satisfies my soul. At this moment, there's millions of animals suffering and giving up their only life in awful experiments, largely to achieve outcomes we can all live without. Would it still be so if every person on earth imagined it were them instead suffering and dying for someone else's benefit? Animals are here to share with us, and us with them. We don't own them. We owe them a peaceful coexistence.
Pai from Quinn
"To continue on 'research' that purposefully inflicts pain and incredible distress to ANY being, in my heart and mind, is Sad and immoral. Technologically, Human beings have the means to conduct beneficial tests for all life using mathematical models and advanced statistical packages, gene mapping and stem cell research - the question is however, when will our values and morals catch up to this technology.... and when will human beings step up to the plate as carers and positive ambassadors for all life on earth?"
