End Animal Testing! Save the critters! Millions of poor animals are dying.


End Animal Testing! Save the critters! Millions of poor animals are dying.
The issue
Millions of animals worldwide are being forcefully tested on for our everyday products. These poor animals suffer through torturous tests with no rest. The tests can range from behavioural tests designed to cause distress to forced chemical exposure in toxicity testing and killing by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck-breaking, decapitation, or other means. Mice, rats, monkeys, cats, dogs, fish, and other animals are used in tests around the world. Could you imagine your beloved animal having to go through this horrible torture for other people's "benefit"? When you use a product such as cleaning supplies or make-up do you think about the animals that died for what you're using? Some countries already have laws against animal testing such as Australia, New Zealand, The European Union, India, and Israel, but they still import products that have been tested on overseas, making them still contribute to animal testing. Imagine you were born in a lab, taken away from your parents, and forcefully tested on through various excruciatingly painful methods until you die a slow and horrible death just so other people could look "pretty" when they go out. Also, don't be one of those disgusting people who waste make-up for "funny" videos, the poor critter didn't need to die just for you to waste the product they had tested on them. If you want to help, stop buying animal tested products. This may seem difficult to switch and you may not know which products are/ are not tested on animals, but no fear, look for these symbols on the products you buy to make sure its cruelty free!
If you still don't think animal testing is bad, here's a list of the horrifying tests these unfortunate creatures have to go through because YOU. DON'T. CARE. ABOUT. THEM.
- Dogs have their hearts, lungs or kidneys deliberately damaged or removed to study how experimental substances might affect human organ function.
- Monkeys are taken from their mothers as infants to study how extreme stress might affect human behaviour.
- Mice are force-fed daily doses of a chemical for two years to see if it might cause cancer in humans.
- Cats have their spinal cords damaged and are forced to run on treadmills to study how nerve activity might affect human limb movement.
- Ferrets are deliberately infected with extremely painful, potentially fatal diseases (such as RSV, COVID-19 or Ebola) and not given pain relief or treatment before their death to study how humans might be affected by the same disease.
- Pigs are implanted with various devices (such as pacemakers and dental implants) to study how human bodies might respond to such devices.
- Pregnant rabbits are force-fed toxic pesticides every day for several weeks to study how human mothers and babies might be affected if they were exposed to the pesticides.
- Sheep are subjected to high pressures (such as those experienced deep underwater) for hours at a time and then returned to normal pressure so that their response can be observed.
- Rats are placed in small tubes and are forced to inhale cigarette smoke for hours at a time to study how humans might respond to cigarette smoke.
- Baboons are injected with endometrial tissue to induce painful symptoms of endometriosis and study how humans might be affected by the disorder.
- Horses are infected with a potentially fatal virus (such as hepatitis) and their symptoms monitored to study how humans might be affected by the same virus.
