Irish Anti-Vivisection Society CLG

The Irish Anti-Vivisection Society Company Limited By Guarantee is a national advocacy organisation dedicated to ending the use of animals in scientific research across Ireland. Drawing on recent statistics that reveal over one-hundred thousand animals subjected to laboratory experiments and tens of thousands killed in cosmetic botox tests, the Society campaigns for a ban on LD50 testing and for stricter enforcement of humane alternatives.

Key activities include running high-impact petitions, promoting cruelty-free consumer choices through the Leaping Bunny Scheme, and offering membership that connects supporters with ongoing campaigns. The Society also relies on public donations-its work is entirely unfunded by the government-to finance research, policy lobbying and public education. Regular newsletters keep members informed of legislative developments and campaign successes, while the team of volunteers and experts, including a chairperson, policy consultant and campaign coordinator, provides a strong voice for animal welfare in the public arena.
