Yes, vivisection—aka “animal testing”—is legal in the U.S. Although some of the experimentation conducted on animals today is required by law, most of it isn't.
Are animals still being tested on?
However, progress remains slow and much more needs to be done. For example, hundreds of thousands of animals continue to be used worldwide for tests where there are available non-animal methods (see our RAT list campaign). The science relating to animal experiments can be extremely complicated and views often differ.
Is vivisection legal in the UK?
Despite some common suggestions to the contrary, the use of vivisection in cosmetics production has been banned in the UK since 1998. This was consolidated further by an EU-wide ban on all cosmetics-related animal research in 2009. The UK currently permits vivisection for the purposes of science and medical research.
