Top Five Reasons to Stop Animal Testing
What’s wrong with animal testing? Poisoning, shocking, burning, and killing animals is all in a day’s work for vivisectors. If these atrocious acts were committed outside laboratories, they would be felonies. But animals suffer and die every day in laboratories with little or no protection from cruelty.
The National Institutes of Health reports that 95 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in humans.
3.It’s wasteful.
Animal experiments prolong the suffering of humans waiting for effective cures because the results mislead experimenters and squander precious money, time, and other resources that could be spent on human-relevant research. Animal experiments are so worthless that up to half of them are never even published.
Bigotry begins when categories such as race, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or species are used to justify discrimination.
“Without Consent,” PETA’s interactive timeline, features almost 200 stories of animals used in twisted experiments from the past century, including ones in which dogs were forced to inhale cigarette smoke for months, mice were cut up while still conscious, and cats were deafened, paralyzed, and drowned. Visit “Without Consent” to learn about more harrowing animal experiments throughout history and how you can help create a better future for living, feeling beings.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?” READ MORE
