Several French NGOs are working specifically to replace animals used for scientific and educational purposes and to improve the way their interests are taken into account:

The Comité Scientifique Pro Anima is an association that “aims to promote human health safety through chemical substances that are better tested / more reliable for human health, more protective for the environment and without recourse to animals”.

It monitors progress and innovations in non-animal-based research, publishes a quarterly magazine entitled “Sciences, Enjeux, Santé”, and funds the Descroix-Vernier EthicScience prize, which is awarded each year to several research projects based on non-animal methods.

Antidote Europe is an association working for responsible scientific research and an end to animal experimentation. “The danger lies in the fact that the results of animal experimentation cannot be transposed to humans, nor from one animal species to another.” With this in mind, Antidote Europe provides information on the benefits of alternative methods.

Animal Testing “is dedicated to making visible laboratory animals, which have been totally invisibilized, to the point where some people think that animal experiments no longer take place.” The association pursues its objectives through investigative work, interviews with whistle-blowers and publications.

The Observatoire de l’Expérimentation Animale (OXA) was born in November 2024, out of the repeated observation that public debate on this subject had been stagnating for decades, while recent claims of transparency on the part of laboratories were rarely reflected in reality. OXA’s first mission is to set up a “documentation center” to facilitate access to specialized information and content by categorizing documents and digitizing their content.
