Animals used for experimentation


 


 Millions of mice, rats, rabbits, primates, cats, dogs, and other animals are locked inside cold, small  cages in laboratories. They languish in pain, because they’re not in the place where they’re meant to be.
Because instead of being free they are captivated and all they can do is sit and wait in fear of the next terrifying and painful procedure that will be performed on them. The stress, sterility and boredom causes some animals to develop neurotic behaviors , they spin incessantly in circles, rock back and forth and even pull out their own hair and bite their own skin.  They shake with fear whenever someone walks near their cages and their blood pressure rises drastically. After their lives are stolen and attacked by pain, loneliness and terror, most of them will be killed.


More than 100 million animals every year suffer and die in cruel chemical, drug, food and cosmetic tests. Mice, rats, birds and cold-blooded animals make up more than 95 percent of animals used in experiments, and they are not covered by the minimal protections of the Animal Welfare Act. To test cosmetics, household cleaners, and other consumer products, hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year by cruel corporations.  Mice and rats are forced to inhale toxic fumes, dogs are force-fed with pesticides, and rabbits have corrosive chemicals rubbed onto their skin and eyes. 

Many of these tests are not even required by law, and they often produce inaccurate or misleading results; even if a product hurts animals, it will still be sold to you. Cruel tests are also made as part of massive regulatory testing programs that are funded by U.S. taxpayers' money. The Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Toxicology Program, and the Department of Agriculture are just a few of the government agencies that subject animals to painful and crude tests.

Each of us can help save animals from suffering in experiments by buying cruelty-free products, by donating only to charities that don't experiment on animals, by requesting alternatives to animal dissection and by demanding the immediate implementation of humane, effective non-animal tests by government agencies and corporations.
