Ärzte gegen Tierversuche e. V.
Under the motto: ‘Medical progress is important – animal testing is the wrong way to go!’ this association has been campaigning for animal-free research since the year 1979 and, together with ICADA, supports the approach of banning animal testing for cosmetic products. We oppose efforts to weaken regulations that have already been achieved.
