We applaud the @EPA's recommitment to end testing on mammals & replace them with faster, more accurate technologies by 2035—a critical milestone toward animal-free safety science.
We urge the EPA to move quickly to implementation to better protect human health & the environment.

No single sector can advance animal-free science alone.
Progress depends on regulators, scientists & industry coming together to define needs, generate relevant data, sharing case studies & lessons.
AFSA provides a neutral, science-focused platform to support this exchange.

The EU has begun to plan a move away from testing chemicals on animals, but progress has been slow. The current roadmap toward phasing out animal-based tests is undermined by regulatory requirements mandating use of animals as a “last resort,” even when non-animal methods exist..

The @EU_Commission's commitments to animal-free testing & REACH revision must become legal requirements that prioritize non-animal methods & invest funds in human-relevant tech—supported by our decision trees to guide regulators.
