Against Animal Testing/ Abuse
- al: Humane Society of the United States
- destinatario: To stop the testing on poor innocent animals.
Every minute 26 animals die due to animal testing...
Major company's such as Procter and Gamble test on animals every second...
Please help us in the fight against animals being tested
To measure severe burns on live tissue, a pet is burned alive with a flame-thrower until the charred flesh can be removed in large pieces from while the animal is still alive.
An experiment to study head trauma requires a pet%u2019s head to be strapped down and receive high impact blows to the head resulting in severe brain damage.
To demonstrate there is no difference in eye protein levels of the site deprived, pet%u2019s eyelids are sewn shut then later compared to normal protein levels.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission do not require animal testing for cosmetics or household products.
Sufficient existing safety data, as well as in vitro (test tube) alternatives make animal testing for cosmetics and household products unnecessary.
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.
Common animal tests currently used for cosmetics and household products include the Draize eye irritancy test, oral toxicity tests, and skin irritancy tests.
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 %u201Cpound seizure%u201D).
Animals used in product testing most commonly include guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, rats, and dogs. Animal subjects can also include cats, ferrets, birds, and nonhuman primates, to name a few.
Claims about animal testing on packaging and labels of cosmetics and household products are not regulated. Statements such as %u201Cnot tested on animals%u201D or %u201Ccruelty-free%u201D can be deceptive, and require further inquiry.
Shop with confidence and compassion by only purchasing products from companies approved by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) %u2014 the Leaping Bunny program. This is the only international standard that ensures that both products and ingredients did not involve new animal testing.
Animal testing can occur anywhere within the manufacturing process, including final (or finished) products, ingredient suppliers, associated manufacturers, and contract testing laboratories.
Animal testing for cosmetics has been banned in a number of European Union (EU) countries and a complete EU-wide ban is on the way.
Each year, an estimated 27 million animals in the U.S. are used in research, testing, and education. Over 2 million animals are killed in dissection classes.
In a 1995 Associated Press survey, 67% agreed that it is seldom or never right to test cosmetics on animals.
There are presently nearly 500 alternatives available to dissection for science education.
Roughly 50,000 primates are currently used for animal research in the U.S.
In a 1999 Decision Research survey, 74% agreed that an animal's right to live free of suffering should be just as important as a person's right to live free of suffering.
There's a dear link between animal abuse and domestic violence. In a 1995 Wisconsin survey, 4 out of 5 victims of domestic violence in homes with companion animals said their pets were also abused.
Wisconsin made some form of animal cruelty a felony offense in 1986. Since then, 27 states have passed similar laws.
