A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT IN 2020 WAS AAVS'S VICTORY IN COURT FORCING USDA TO FINALLY REGULATE BIRDS COVERED BY THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT AND SUBMISSION OF EXTENSIVE EXPERT COMMENTS TO THE AGENCY ON BIRD STANDARDS IN THE REGULATIONS. A 4-PAGE BI-MONTHLY NEWSLETTER AND A MONTHLY ONLINE NEWSLETTER PROVIDE TIMELY, RELIABLE INFORMATION TO OVER 25,000 MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS SO THEY CAN TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION FOR ANIMALS. SPECIAL TOPICS COVERED INCLUDED COVID-19 RESEARCH USING FAST AND EFFECTIVE NON-ANIMAL ALTERNATIVE RESEARCH METHODS, NEW POLICIES AND LAWS REGARDING ANIMAL TESTING FOR COSMETICS, AND TRADE IN PRIMATES SOLD FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. AAVS PLACES ADS IN NATIONAL MEDIA TO RAISE AWARENESS THAT DOGS, CATS AND OTHER ANIMALS SUFFER IN LABS. GRANTS TO SANCTUARIES, FOR CARE OF ANIMALS RELEASED FROM LABS, WERE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER IN 2020, INCLUDING FOR 42 CHIMPANZEES IN URGENT NEED OF RELOCATION AFTER A CALIFORNIA FACILITY IN A HIGH-RISK FIRE ZONE CLOSED. MANY SANCTUARIES FOUND IT HARD TO FUNDRAISE AND HAD INCREASED COSTS TO PROTECT ANIMALS AND STAFF FROM COVID-19. NOTE THAT THE GRANTS EXPENSE ABOVE IS 'NET TOTAL' OF GRANTS MADE, $446,144, PLUS 'GRANTS PAYABLE LIABILITY ADJUSTMENT' OF $ 224,623 ON LONG-TERM FUNDING COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE LIFETIME CARE FOR YOUNG CHIMPANZEES RELEASED FROM A LAB WHEN BABIES, NOW LIVING AT CHIMP HAVEN. 204263 0 0 ANIMALEARN WORKS TO END VIVISECTION AND DISSECTION IN THE CLASSROOM, ADVOCATING AND PROMOTING HUMANE SCIENCE EDUCATION POLICY.
