Thank you to Jordan for hosting!

"For decades, animal experimentation has been treated as the default approach for biomedical research—even though more than 92% of drugs tested successfully in animals end up failing in people.

These failures cage, exploit, and kill millions of animals every year, waste billions of taxpayer dollars, and slow medical progress for people still waiting for cures and therapies.

NAMs offer a better path for everyone—human and non-human."

The creation of ORIVA signals growing recognition within the NIH—the world’s largest funder of animal research—that the future of science depends less on animals and more on human-relevant methods.

We hope ORIVA will in fact bring meaningful change versus being another promising initiative with limited impact. Time will tell.

NIH Launches Office to Reduce Animal Use The NIH has launched ORIVA, a new office focused on advancing human-based research methods and reducing animal use in biomedical research.

📚💚 Did you know our store, Ethique Nouveau, has not one, but two lending libraries?

Teaching Compassion - Dissection Alternatives Library
For educators, homeschool families, students, and anyone interested in humane science education, our dissection alternatives library offers resources that replace animal dissection with compassionate, effective learning tools. Animals don't have to be harmed for students to learn about biology, anatomy, and the natural world.

Paws and Claws - Pet Toy Lending Library
Animals deserve enrichment, too! Our pet toy lending library allows guardians to borrow toys, try new enrichment options, and discover what their companion animals enjoy. It's a fun, affordable, and sustainable way to keep dogs, cats, chickens, and other animal companions engaged and entertained. $5 refundable deposit.

Both libraries reflect our belief that compassion can be woven into every aspect of our lives—from education to how we care for the animals who share our homes.

Stop by, check them out, and help us spread the word! Have you borrowed from either library? We'd love to hear about your experience in the comments.
