Let's stop
the violence
against and
exploitation of
life !

 

AVA-net conducts the following activities

in the hope that we can abolish animal experimentation.

  • Inform the general public of the truth concerning the suffering and death of laboratory animals, and turn public opinion against animal experimentation.
  • From research organisations we seek the release of research data on animal experiments, which are conducted in secret, as well as public scrutiny of experiment facilities.
  • We are attempting to initiate on-site inspections of research facilities by private animal protection organisations, and establish an organisation to monitor the research itself.
  • We are asking the government to pass strong animal protection legislation.
  • We are asking MHW to approve, assist, and promote alternative methods to animal testing.
  • We are asking the Ministry of Education to stop the use of dissection in the schools.
  • We are asking the Environment Agency to implement a protection policy for the Japanese monkey.
  • We are calling for a boycott of cosmetic manufacturers that continue to test on animals.
  • We are pursuing holistic medicine that does not require animal experiments.
  • We are making a choice for a peaceful way of living our everyday lives that does not demand sacrifices of other living things.
  • We are asking local government to stop selling dogs and cats to animal experimenters.
    ( Approximately 80 percent of the dogs and cats used in experiments in Japan are pets thrown away by their owners. AVA-net has been lobbying hard for such practice to be discontinued. Since our group started to rescue dogs that had been abandoned after an experiment, with no medical attention given and close to death, Tokyo and many prefectures have stopped offering strays to experimenters.)

 

What You Can Do

Write to Japan's corporations, government agencies, and research facilities and let them know that you object to what they are doing! They are usually very sensitive to international criticism, which means that your letters will go a long way toward relieving the suffering of animals in Japan. You can also write to Japan's Prime Minister and ask him to help pass effective legislation for the regulation and monitoring of animal.

Please help the animals used in tests by writing a letter to the Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi at:

The Prime Minister's Office
2-3-1 Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8914 Japan.
