The Research & Toxicology Department of Humane Society International (HSI) operates a multifaceted and science-driven global programme aimed at ending the use of animals in toxicity testing and research. The key strategic objectives include: a) ending cosmetics animal testing worldwide, via the multinational Be Cruelty-Free campaign; b) achieving near-term reductions in animal testing requirements through revision of product sector regulations; and c) advancing humane science by exposing failing animal models of human disease and shifting science funding toward human biology-based research and testing tools fit for the 21st century. HSI was instrumental in ensuring the implementation of the March 2013 European sales ban for newly animal-tested cosmetics, in achieving the June 2013 cosmetics animal testing ban in India as well as major cosmetics regulatory policy shifts in China and South Korea, and in securing precedent-setting reductions in in vivo data requirements for pesticides in the EU through the revision of biocides and plant protection product regulations, among others. HSI is currently working to export these life-saving measures to more than a dozen industrial and emerging economies.
国际人道协会（HSI）的研究与毒理学部门开展了一个多方面且以科学为导向的全球项目，旨在终止在毒性测试和研究中使用动物。其主要战略目标包括：a）通过跨国“零残忍”运动，在全球范围内终止化妆品动物测试；b）通过修订产品部门法规，实现动物测试要求的近期减少；c）通过揭露失败的人类疾病动物模型，推动人道科学的发展，并将科学资金转向基于人类生物学的研究和测试工具，以适应 21 世纪。HSI 在确保 2013 年 3 月欧洲对新的动物测试化妆品实施销售禁令、2013 年 6 月在印度禁止化妆品动物测试以及在中国和韩国进行重大化妆品监管政策转变方面发挥了重要作用，并通过修订杀菌剂和植物保护产品法规等措施，为农药在欧盟的体内数据要求取得了具有里程碑意义的降低。HSI 目前正在努力将这些救生措施推广到十几个工业和新兴经济体。
