Leffingwell was an advocate for vivisection reform and ethical treatment of animals. Altogether he authored about half a dozen works on the subject he thought there could be compromise between those for complete abolition of animal experimentation and those opposed to any restraint on the practice. He was the founder and first secretary of the American Society for the Regulation of Vivisection and an instructor at the Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn.
