<p>Here are 5 ways that animal testing may hurt humans.</p>
Doing outreach and talking to people about the many ways using animals in science experimentation is wrong can be complicated and there are many factors to consider and arguments to answer. A clear review of five good reasons animal testing should become a thing of the dark past.
What's motivating someone to chain themselves to a tree?
"[W]hen people who are more responsive to injustice see things happen that they find morally wrong, such as abuse or race-based inequality, their minds respond by accessing the sections of the brain responsible for logic and reasoning."
A Physicians Committee complaint filed with federal authorities alleges that cruel experiments on live pigs at Brown University in Providence, R.I., violated the Animal Welfare Act.
When you fund research on addictive drugs such as meth, nicotine or, in this case, alcohol, using public funds you are taking that money away from human-based research and away from much needed programs for alcohol abuse and the development of new prevention strategies. You are lining the pockets of vivisectors and their supporting industries and making animals short, pain-filled lives hell before they are killed.
Campaigners say this is the first step to end animal testing in China.
A very partial end to the animal testing rule concerning some products in China. A first step and worth celebrating. However "animal testing, which occurs after a product is released into the market – is not illegal and could [and probably will] increase."
SIU has canceled its plan to use live pigs in its emergency medicine residency program
Petitions and demos work. Just ask the pigs.
Government advisers find 'systematic pattern of infringements' after accusations of animals left to suffer in laboratories
Vivisectors consistently claim that the animals they use are well cared for and just as consistently they are proven to be lying. Case in point:
All 110 chimps from the controversial New Iberia Research Center in Lafayette have arrived at their 'retirement home' in Louisiana today following a $5m fundraising campaign.
Free at last!
Most animal ethicists maintain that if a being is sentient, then it has moral status, i.e., it is owed direct moral consideration (see Francione, Steiner, Warren, DeGrazia, Rollin, Palmer, and just...
"Individuals in positions of power have the bad habit of assuming that only beings “like them” count."
Public streets and sidewalks are venues for the exchange of ideas and our First Amendment right to speak out against injustice is a cornerstone of democracy. It feels anything but free, however, when big institutions pull peaceful, law-abiding activists through the judicial system, wresting thous...
When we look historically at other groups that have come under protest and they start screaming back, that means it's working. - Ann Bradley
If we're not able to hold the individual person that makes up the institution accountable for what they do, accountable for animal abuse, accountable for not being transparent with the public about what they're doing and how they're using tax money, there's no way of penetrating those institutional laws - Gina Palencar
There are very very strong forces that are trying to silence us and suppress our rights, but we have to know our rights...The pictures and the documentation that we have about what these vivisectors are doing are truthful. And if the truth is that ugly and you don't want your neighbors to know about it, then maybe you should be living another truth. -Simone Reyes
It is generally our policy not to respond to Internet n…
"Vivisectors only have a paycheck at stake but we have lives at stake, both human and nonhuman. For that reason we work harder and care more and that is why we are educated about both the bad science they do and the good science that can replace it. And unlike the vivisectors, who make their money off of purchasing animals as if they are objects, caging them, cutting them open, causing them pain, and then killing them, we are not violent."
Read the latest on the Progress For Science blog as we respond to a vivisector's false claims and highlight how we are pro-science and anti-violence. Unlike them.
The very first moments of a precious life... captured forever. We are truly overwhelmed by the love and support shown for Dana, her new baby, our work...
David Jentsch, UCLA vivisector and drug addicter of primates, has claimed that monkeys don’t experience to the same degree as humans the loss of family and friends. Yeah, well, we wonder what would happen if you tried to take this mom's baby away.
Animal experimenters always claim to provide the best of care for their inmates. "Care" evidently doesn't necessarily include adequate nutrition in their eyes. The USDA thinks it should and hits the University of Alaska Fairbanks with a penalty.
Welfare organisations say the experiments are 'pointless' but scientists claim the work is vital in finding a cure for Huntington’s disease and Batten disease
Poll at the end of article. Is medical testing on animals justified? Please vote. The suffering of sheep. Cambridge says the university takes “very seriously” any allegation of animals being mistreated. We guess they just hadn't noticed this on their own: “One sheep was left in a pitiful state – less than half the normal body weight, virtually blind and lying in feces – for several days during which she deteriorated further rather than being killed when it was obvious she was suffering grievously.”
Kudos to BMJ (British Medical Journal) for the courage to confront with a cover story this issue which runs counter to the beliefs of many (but fewer and fewer) of their research subscribers.
The evidence is clearer and clearer: research done on animals is a waste for both human and nonhuman animals. "Such wastage is as unethical in animal as in human research. Poorly done preclinical research may lead to expensive but fruitless clinical trials exposing participants to harmful drugs. And of course there is the unnecessary suffering of the animals involved in research that brings no benefit.”
