Last year, President Biden signed an important law called the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 and the Reducing Animal Testing Act. These laws are important because they aim to make a big change in how we develop new drugs and test them. CAA was one of the diverse groups who signed on to help make sure these acts passed.Cruelty-Free Drugs are Coming! One important thing the new law does is remove a rule that said experimental drugs had to be tested on animals. Now, we are getting closer to finding better and kinder ways to develop drugs. The law also provides $5 million to support a program that will use new and better methods instead of testing on animals. This means we can find safe and effective drugs without hurting animals.

This is a huge deal because it could change everything! We might be able to develop drugs faster and find better treatments for people. The new methods are showing good results, and we are hopeful they will revolutionize how we develop drugs. The law doesn’t stop animal testing right away, but it’s a step towards doing things in a more humane and accurate way.

And guess what? This isn’t just about helping non-human animals. It’s about helping people too! With better treatments and cures, we can save more lives and make the world a better place.

CAA was proud to join The Center for a Humane Economy to support this important law. We are so excited about the possibilities and how it can lead to a kinder and healthier world for all of us.
