anti-vivisection
Opposing animal experimentation
Anti-vivisection is opposition to experimentation on live animals, particularly for medical or scientific research.
The movement emerged in the 19th century and remains active today.
As a modifier, it describes activists, legislation, or organizations working to end the practice: an anti-vivisection campaign, anti-vivisection protesters outside the laboratory.
