World Week for Animals in Laboratories

Please join In Defense of Animals during World Week for Animals in Laboratories (WWAIL) to speak out against the abhorrent use of animals in testing and research. Why do animal experiments still exist at the expense of innovative scientific methods? Because the status quo will not change until we change it - and many educators, legislators, and activists will have to rally their forces before the archaic, bureaucratic machinery of vivisection gives way to the science of the future.

Please, make a commitment today to take one action for animals in laboratories during the week of WWAIL. Here are just a few ways to participate:

• Organize an event in your area, such as a demonstration or educational table. Click here to read about the many different ways that you can get involved in 2012. Email us at wwail@idausa.org to let us know if you will be planning an event, if you would like us to find examples of absurd experiments at a research institution near you, or if you just need more information.
• Send a letter to the editor or your local newspaper. Click here for sample letters and guidelines.
• Write to President Obama and urge him to stand by his promise to end wasteful government programs. Contact the Office of Public Liaison ("the front door to the White House through which everyone can participate and inform the work of the President").
• Visit our online action page to lend your voice to our various vivisection campaigns.

Your actions are urgently needed to help end the suffering of animals in laboratories. There's never been a better time to advocate for change.
