Should Animals Be
UsedFor
Experiments?
Right now, millions of mice, rats, rabbits, primates, cats, dogs, and other animals are locked inside cold, barren cages in laboratories across the country. They languish in pain, ache with loneliness and
long to roam free and use their minds.
Instead, all they can do is sit and wait in fear of the next terrifying and painful
procedure that will be performed on them.
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 pesticides, and rabbits have corrosive chemicals rubbed onto their skin and eyes.

• Corneal transplants were delayed for 90 years and blood transfusions were delayed 200 years due to animal studies

Does animal testing work?
Yes No
Animal testing has helped to develop vaccines against diseases like rabies, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and TB
Animal experiments can be misleading. An animal's response to a drug can be different to a human's
Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin and cancer treatments rely on animal tests. Other testing methods aren't advanced enough
Successful alternatives include test tube studies on human tissue cultures, statistics and computer models
Scientists claim there are no differences in lab animals and humans that cannot be factored into tests
The stress that animals endure in labs can affect experiments, making the results meaningless
Operations on animals helped to develop organ transplant and open-heart surgery techniques
Animals are still used to test items like cleaning products, which benefit mankind less than medicines or surgery
