If you could talk to the animals and they could talk back, what would they say?

Millions of animals suffer and die each year in testing of consumer products, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology research. Abusive practices are rampant throughout many industries, and includes some of the most horrific torture imaginable.  

Animals are living beings, and have rights. They don’t exist simply for their usefulness, and they are as capable of suffering as we. The inhumane use of animals in the entertainment, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries must be avoided.

Millions of rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, dogs, primates, and other animals are subjected to inhumane treatment by companies trying to determine product safety. Acute toxicity tests, commonly called lethal dose tests, are used to determine the amount of a substance that will kill. The effects of such experimentation include convulsions, labored breathing, diarrhea, skin eruptions, bleeding from the eyes, nose, or mouth, and death.

The incredible truth is that this type of testing is virtually useless. There are other ways to test products that are far more effective. With the technology available today, this type of science is antiquated. We can use computer models, an effective way that produces superior results –yet, the inhumane  testing of animals still continues.

The stories of abuse in food production are well documented. On factory farms, animals are caged, often with not enough room to turn around. Imagine living your life this way.
