Monoclonal antibodies—lab-made proteins that help fight disease—are used to treat conditions like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and more. In a promising move, the FDA just began reducing animal testing requirements for these drugs.

This is an exciting step toward a more humane and scientifically advanced future. But it’s not enough.

Every year, thousands of animals endure painful, invasive experiments in drug development—even though we now have modern alternatives like AI-based modeling and lab-grown human cells that are often more reliable and more relevant to human health.

Animals suffer. People wait longer for treatments. And taxpayers foot the bill for outdated methods.

The FDA’s new policy is a start—but right now, it only applies to a narrow category of drugs. The rest of the pharmaceutical industry is still stuck in a system that treats animal lives as disposable and stalls medical progress.

We’re calling on the FDA to expand this reform and accelerate the adoption of validated non-animal testing methods across the board.

This is a moral issue as much as a scientific one. It’s time to end unnecessary cruelty and embrace safer, faster, and more compassionate innovation.

Sign this petition if you believe medicine can—and should—advance without animal suffering.
