Laboratory Animal Testing

While many health charities fund or conduct experiments on animals, there are many more who direct their resources toward non-animal research or to help sufferers in other ways. Some charities may not be directly involved in animal research but are members of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) – an organisation that supports and promotes the use of animals in laboratories.
