"Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R. Magel

"More than 90 percent of all new drugs which proved effective in animals end up not working for humans."

"Please join In Defense of Animals during World Week for Animals in Laboratories (WWAIL), beginning this Saturday, April 18, to speak out against the use of animals in testing and research. With a new administration and a serious financial crisis at hand, it is more important than ever that we use this week to call attention to the outdated and unnecessary biomedical experiments that continue to claim the lives of millions of animals each year.

Please, make a commitment today to take one action for animals in laboratories during the week of WWAIL and please contact us now (wwail@idausa.org) to let us know that you will be participating, even if you have not yet determined what form your participation will take."
