S-A-B-R-E: Society For Accountability of Animal Studies In Biomedical Research & Education
http://www.s-a-b-r-e.org
S-A-B-R-E's mission is to raise awareness of the need to evaluate animal research in order to determine its contribution to human medicine.
They are calling:
1) For animal research policy and funding to be evidence-based in the interests of advancing the efficacy and safety of medical research.
2) For systematic research that will determine the value of animal studies wherever animal data is used to inform clinical research and human trials in order to increase the health and safety of patients and research volunteers.
3) For accountability and transparency of animal research and its funding.

FRAME: Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments
http://www.frame.org.uk
FRAME recognises that the immediate and total abolition of all animal experiments
is not possible, if vital medical research depends on it. However, FRAME advocates the
Three Rs approach to this problem. FRAME seeks to promote a moderate appproach by
encouraging a realistic consideration of the ethical and scientific issues involved
and the adoption of the Three Rs strategy.
DLRM: Doctors & Lawyers for Responsible Medicine
http://www.dlrm.org/index.htm
DLRM's objective is the immediate and unconditional abolition of all animal experiments, on medical and scientific grounds. Doctors and Lawyers for Responsible Medicine (DLRM) and its supporters, in view of the significant dissimilarities between the biological systems of animals and humans, and the consequent risks and dangers posed to human health, as a result of such animal-based research, call upon the Government to urgently set up a Judicial Inquiry into the questionable scientific validity of animal experiments in medical research.
