Animal Testing:
Which health charities do and which don't?
Most national health charities use the money donated to them to
fund animal experiments, but there are alternative foundations
that support useful medical research and assistance for patients
without exploiting animals. If you donate money to health charities,
consider switching your support to a cruelty-free organisation.
