NIH is investing millions in human-relevant research. That’s good news.

But NAMs don’t automatically mean fewer animals in labs—and NIH still doesn’t even know how many animals its funding is used to exploit.

So how will we know if animals are really being spared?

🔸 Industry practice may not change,
🔸 The rule can still be withdrawn or reversed, and
🔸 Questions about the evaluation of NAMs remain.

Pierre spent part of his life in a research lab. Today, he’s living at @chimphaven.bsky.social—and seeing his sanctuary home clearly again.

After cataracts began taking the chimpanzee's sight, his caregivers stepped in.

Here's what happened next: riseforanimals.org/news/chimp-c...

In UW–Madison’s “poultry lab,” students are taught to kill and dissect birds, open developing eggs, and witness freshly killed animals being cut apart.

It’s a disturbing example of how animal suffering is normalized across agriculture and research.

The animals are bred to order. Confined. Standardized, priced, sold, used, and killed.

Their bodies are treated as production units—whether the product is meat, milk, body parts, data, or publications.

Research animals are farmed animals: riseforanimals.org/news/researc...
