The Center For Ethical Science (CFES) is a non-profit animal advocacy organization dedicated to:  educating the public on the inefficacy of invasive animal experimentation; exposing how tax dollars pay for much of it and what we can do to help eliminate it; and promoting effective and humane ways of conducting scientific and cosmetic research. 

 

Alternative methods to animal testing have proven to be more cost-effective and provide more accurate results.  Finding cures to disease and protecting the public from the dangers of household products and cosmetics can and should be done without the confinement, abuse and death of animals in the process.  We are also very dedicated to promoting a healthy, cruelty-free lifestyle.

 

CURRENT PROJECTS:

 

• Holding educational demonstrations to make the public aware of CFES' current campaign

• Offering advice to students (and parents) from grade school to medical school/veterinary school who want to learn humanely

• Researching science and medical journals and sharing relevant articles on CFES’ Facebook page and Twitter

• Submitting letters to the editor

• Researching the USDA’s website for violations of the Animal Welfare Act

• Submitting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to learn what experimentation is taking place

• Writing and sending action alerts

• Creating and purchasing advertising

• Creating and distributing a documentary on the issue similar to the way ‘Blackfish’ is literally making waves
