American Heart Association

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine who works for the American Heart Association asked

if I could make a contribution to the organization. Of course, I

don't want to contribute to an organization that directly or

indirectly conducts tests on animals. I found this on their website,

under " Research Standards, " regarding research grant applicants:

 

" For research involving animals, the American Heart Association

requires all applicants to provide proof of unqualified institutional

accreditation by the American Association for Accreditation of

Laboratory Animal Care or accepted U.S. Public Health Service Animal

Welfare Assurance. In addition, the applicant must have the approval

of his or her institutional animal care and use committee. "

 

So it appears that AHA may fund organizations and programs that

conducts tests on animals. Does anyone have conclusive facts or

evidence that this is the case?

 

Thanks.
