NATIONAL ANTI-VIVISECTION SOCIETY
Every year, millions of animals suffer and die in cruel and futile experiments. The National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) campaigns for an end to all animal experiments. Founded in 1875, the NAVS produces technical reports, educational material, books and films to highlight the plight of laboratory animals. Its Lord Dowding Fund for Humane Research funds and supports non-animal scientific and medical research. The NAVS is calling for an end to government secrecy on the animal experimentation licensing process, to allow outside experts to challenge animal tests and suggest alternatives.
It is also lobbying for an effective National Centre for the replacement of animal research, to be funded by industry, charities, and government. The House of Lords Select Committee on Animal Procedures has supported these proposals.

ANIMAL DEFENDERS INTERNATIONAL
Founded in 1990, Animal Defenders International (ADI) is an international animal welfare and conservation organisation working to alleviate suffering and to conserve and protect animals and the environment. In the UK, Animal Defenders International has revealed the miserable living conditions of circus animals and secured the convictions of circus animal trainer Mary Chipperfield, her husband and her elephant keeper for cruelty to animals. ADI seeks a ban on animal circuses and asks for regulations to be introduced for performing animal-training centres. Its campaign has brought about bans on animal circuses around the world.
