Introducing Beyond Animal Research
A bold, revolutionary charity, backed by a growing alliance of scientists, all working towards one shared goal:
Beyond Animal Research (BAR) is a groundbreaking charity with one bold mission: To revolutionise science in Aotearoa, New Zealand by eliminating the harmful use of animals.

Nobody wants this for animals - not you, not policymakers, and not the scientists themselves.
But outdated systems and institutional barriers are blocking progress, keeping science stuck in the status quo while animals continue to suffer.
This must stop. Animals are not statistics. They are sentient beings. Just like us, they deserve a future free from harm.
A bold, revolutionary charity, backed by a growing alliance of scientists, all working towards one shared goal:
BAR works with progressive scientists, institutes and organisations from the animal science and research community in NZ and beyond to align groups with traditionally opposing perspectives and deliver action for animals used in science!

“BAR is a bridge builder - bringing together forward thinkers who value scientific integrity, collaboration, and innovation. It creates space for meaningful dialogue, even across divides, and fosters a community grounded in respect, curiosity, and shared purpose.”
“Historically, animals have been used in research, testing and teaching on the basis that this use is justified by the benefits to both animal's and people’s lives. Increasingly, this justification has come under scrutiny in terms of the impact on the animals, the outcomes of the research and even the validity of certain animal research models in the first place. BAR has a clear role in this re-evaluation of animal use, actively finding ways to achieve scientific goals without using animals and improving our approach to animal use in research, testing and teaching.”
“Progress can only be made by people who are willing to listen to those with another opinion. Beyond Animal Research provide exactly the forum we need to make a change by bringing together people whose ultimate goal is to develop biomedical research that does not require animals anymore.”
"BAR is building a much-needed bridge between the research community and animal protection advocates. This unique organisation is enabling progress, by providing an opportunity for honest dialogue, mutual understanding and collaborative solutions to complex issues. Working together as a united voice, a robust strategy can be developed to move beyond animal research and toward innovative approaches that serve science, without harming animals, to create significant, powerful and lasting change."
"Animals are used for countless reasons in science, and finding valid replacements for each reason is a huge challenge. Now, together with BAR, the first charity in history to offer a way forward for scientists and animal protectionists alike, we can start to genuinely develop a comprehensive strategy that supports reliable scientific progress without harming animals. Together, we go beyond animal research and shape our scientific future with excellence and compassion!"
