Privately owned comanpies such as Covance and SNBL are hired to test other companies products on animals. There is horrifying footage and information that these companies DO NOT follow the codes of the Animal Welfare Act and have been cited in over hundreds of violations. Despite the thousands of dollars in fines and written violations, these companies continue on their merry way and continue to coducts horrible painful tests on animals.
These innocent primates, dogs, cats, and other animals need the people of the world to speak and stand up for them and tell the governments that we are NOT satisfied with the action taken against these companies and that MORE needs to be done to ensure these innocent animals aren't being tortured at the hands of heartless people.
Here is some more information about just how horribly these animals are treated and the amount of pain and abuse they endure on a daily basis.

Please, please, please help me hold the right people accountable to help put an end to this type of violence and animal abuse.
I am horrified to learn of the procedures and treatment and abuse of animals that occur at these types facilities. I urge you to put an end to this cruel practice and hold these companies accountable for their deplorable actions. After hundreds of cited violations and thousands of dollars in fines, the companies practices have gone unchanged. I DO NOT SUPPORT this type of inhumane practice where chemicals and other subastances are FORCED into the bodies of innocent animals. I am also horrifed to learn about the treatment these poor animals receive at the hands of the employees at these facilities. PLEASE STAND UP FOR THE INNNOCENT AND PUT AN END TO THESE COMPANES.
