American Cancer Society Animal Testing

Target:
American Cancer Society
Sponsored by: 
American Cancer Society is known for helping to find a cure for cancer, and helping the people that have been touched by it. But behind closed lab doors, they construct cruel tests on mice and rats, even dogs and cats. Before better technology, this type of thing was the norm, but now with the proper technology, scientists can perform animal-friendly tests on computer models that behave exactly like the real organs, their scientists can find a cruelty-free cure.

We, the undersigned believe that animal testing is cruel, and believe it would be better for the lives of many furry creatures if you switched to performing your tests on the available computer models. Rodents and other animals are completely different species than us human beings, so how can you compare their results to ours, anyway? The computer models are programmed to behave exactly like real human organs, and are already being used in labs around the world. Could you please see it in your hearts to switch to newer, cruelty free research methods? Thank you for taking time out of your busy days to read this letter.

Please perform animal friendly tests on computer models, perform animal-friendly models that behave exactly like real organs and organisms, find cruelty-free cures that show the American Cancer Society that makes us proud to be contributors. Stop cruel tests on rats, mice, cats, dogs and other animals.

I am ashamed of ACS and its animal testing. Cancer patients don't like to be poked and prodded. Why should we poke and prod animals for our comfort, especially when it's unnecessary.

There is emperical data that shows animal testing is fruitless and not necessary. What takes place in a rat does not take place in humans during tests. Monkeys do not have same reactions as rats, dogs or humans. As supposed scientist with so-called educated brains, you know this. I will NEVER support the American Cancer Society and will tell everyone I can about its use of animal testing to ensure they do not support you either. STOP using animals!

Research and facts shows that cancer is not a threat to humans or animals and has been cured in the 1950's.Please allow the cure to be given to those whom are in need of this now,stop playing the public as fools!Animals have no place in a Lab or any other type of experimentation anymore than any human does,We all bleed, cry tears, have babies and feel pain and suffering just as you do.This is a sham, scam and a fools game that should not be a part of our lives today.

I will not support the American Cancer Society until they stop using animals. For decades they have used animals in research, and for decades there have been no cures.
