ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS ARE WIDELY USED TO DEVELOP
NEW MEDICINES AND TO TEST THE SAFETY OF OTHER PRODUCTS.
90% OF ALL ANIMALS USED IN RESEARCH ARE RATS AND MICE
THOUGH MANY OTHER ANIMALS ARE ALSO USED, INCLUDING DOGS,CATS,AND RABBITS.

EACH YEAR 1,000 OF NEW COSMETIC, PERSONAL CARE,
AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS ARE INTRODUCED INTO THE MARKETPLACE.
MOST ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED
ARE EITHER BURNED OR POISNOED.
ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED ON SPEND MOST OF THEIR
LIVES IN BARREN CAGES, UNABLE TO MAKE CHOICES OR EXPRESS NATURAL BEHAVIORS.
MOST ANIMALS NEVER EXPERIENCE FRESH AIR OR SUNSHINE, ONLY BARS OR CONCRETE.
SOME FACILITIES PROVIDE OUTSIDE CAGING ROTATING THE ANIMALS AND GIVING THEM LIMITED TIME OUTSIDE.
FOR ALL THE ANIMALS TRAPPED IN LABS, THEIR DAY TO DAY EXISTENCE
IS TRAUMATIC IN ITSELF EVEN WITHOUT FORCED PARTICIPATION IN ONE DREADED PROTOCOL
THEY EXPERIENCE ONGOING MENTAL AND PHYSICAL SUFFERING
FROM THE ENDLESS BOREDOM AND FEAR IN THE DAILY LABORATORY LIFE.
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT ANIMAL TESTING IS JUSTIFIED BECAUSE THE ANIMALS ARE
SACRIFICED TO MAKE PRODUCTS SAFER FOR HUMAN USE AND CONSUMPTION.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS REASONING IS THAT THE ANIMALS' SAFETY
AND QUALITY OF LIFE IS GENERALLY NOT A CONSIDERATION.
EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS ARE VIRTUALLY TORTURED TO DEATH, AND ALL THESE TESTS ARE DONE IN THE
INTREST OF HUMAN WELFARE WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT OF HOW THE ANIMALS ARE TREATED
