The Association for the Abolition of Animal Experiments was founded in 1979 under the name of CIVIS-Switzerland by the author, medical historian and antivivisectionist Hans Ruesch. In 1996, the presidency and administration of the Association were taken over by Dr. Christopher Anderegg, a doctor, biologist and former animal experimenter.

The Association strives for the abolition of all animal experiments and informs the public about the failures, dangers and uselessness of animal experimentation through the publication of advertisements in the daily press and the distribution of fliers in mailboxes. These campaigns are essential, since time and again reports appear in the media which portray animal experimentation as a useful and indispensable research method.
