Animals have the right to be treated as beings of value in themselves, not as the means to human ends; this principle must be applied in order to guarantee the end of cruelty to animals. The application of this principle means that animals should never be experimented upon whatever the potential gain for humanity. To infect monkeys with the AIDS virus or to expose rodents to toxic chemicals and radiation is simply not acceptable, whatever the supposed benefits. Animal testing is cruel and almost useless. It really irks me when people say we need animal testing. There's a more humane way of testing then what they do now. Here's a few facts!
Animals used in testing are most usually purchased from specialized breeding facilities. However, they may also be taken from the wild or acquired from animal shelters (through a practice known as "pound seizure").
Because mice and rats are excluded from the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), the actual number of animals used in product testing is unreported and unknown. It has been estimated that as many as 100 million mice are used in U.S. laboratories every year
There can be an end to it but it requires us to stand up and stop listening to those who are standing up FOR medical testing on animals. Only WE can bring about this change guys, only WE can MAKE A DIFFERENCE but we have to join together.
