Material documenting the strategies Spira and Animal Rights International employed to discourage institutional reliance on animals for product testing and experimentation and to encourage adoption of non-animal alternatives. Files reflecting Spira's and Animal Rights International's many campaigns and coalitions targeting specific tests and the use of animals in laboratories comprise the bulk of this series. Campaigns of note include the Coalition to Stop Draize Rabbit Blinding Tests, which targeted Revlon and its use of the Draize test on rabbits; the Coalition to Abolish the Metcalf-Hatch Act, which resulted in the repeal of New York State’s Public Health law allowing use of unclaimed dogs and cats in shelters for research experiments; and the Coalition the Abolish the LD50, which challenged the relevancy of several major corporations’ use of the acute toxicity “death test” to determine lethal dosage of household chemicals. Material documenting Spira’s demonstration against the American Museum of Natural History and its experiments using cats is also included. Files containing correspondence, printed matter, shareholder information, and notes detailing the operations and functions of multinational corporations such as Procter & Gamble Company, Bristol-Myers Company, and Colgate-Palmolive Company illustrate the ways in which Spira and Animal Rights International sought to track animal experimentation and identify targets for campaigns. Files relating to the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, Soap and Detergent Association, and the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing document Spira's efforts to establish alternatives to animal testing.
Correspondence, notes, printed matter, newspapers clippings, advertisements, photographs, drafts, surveys, and Freedom of Information Act requests.
