On September 14th, Gate Charity partnered with Fórum Animal to support an event at the LATAM Memorial titled “The Commitment to the Future: Ending the Use of Animals in Teaching and Research.” The goal of the event was to raise public awareness about the negative impacts of using animals in educational and research settings, while also highlighting effective alternative methodologies that are already available. The day’s program included an exhibition featuring thought-provoking images and objects, as well as a seminar led by renowned experts in the field.
The event brought attention to the fact that after food production, animal experimentation is the human activity that exploits animals the most. In Brazil alone, approximately 3 million animals are subjected to research protocols each year before being killed. The seminar focused on the urgency of replacing these harmful practices with ethical alternatives, encouraging a shift toward more humane methods.
With over 100 attendees, including activists and concerned citizens, the event sparked meaningful conversations about reducing the number of animals used in research and teaching. Gate Charity’s presence was prominent throughout the event, with its support displayed through banners, digital presentations, and mentions on social media platforms. The collaboration with Fórum Animal strengthened the message of advocating for change and ensuring that animals are no longer subjected to exploitation in these fields.
Fórum Animal, a non-profit organization focused on animal welfare and veganism, continues to play a crucial role in driving forward the movement for ethical alternatives in teaching and research. This event was a significant step toward facilitating broader initiatives to protect animals and promote more compassionate practices for the future.
