They say a picture tells a thousand words – I’m sure an animal could too.

Kitty has been living in research laboratories for over 14 years. Her main job role is to get artificially inseminated to produce baby chimpanzees for research.

A few years ago in Arkansas, Echo, a family/pet dog was stolen by a B class dealer to give Echo over to a laboratory for research purposes. You can read more HERE. This letter to B class dealers likens cats and dogs being giving over to owners of research labs as animal concentration camps. 

Two stories out of how many? 

Millions!

We have all seen the pictures of abuse inflicted on innocents.

Please educate yourself. Get your neck out of the sand and start taking ownership and some responsibility for your role in torturing animals. 

This post is not about making you feel targeted but these are ways you can make a difference.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Did you know that even today animals are still being tested on for the make up industry? They have substances forced down their throat,  dripped down their throats or smeared on their skins before killing them?

SIGN THE GLOBAL PLEDGE TO BE CRUELTY-FREE TO ANIMALS.   -It takes two seconds of your time.

Okay, maybe 40 seconds at the most.

Don’t we have to test out products and medication on animals?

NO.

It has been proven that there are other scientific non-animal tests that have been done and prove to work.

This modern way of testing is more truthful in predicting how the human body may react to certain ingredients.

So why don’t we stop animal testing?

RED-TAPE.

Companies and governments will accept non-animal testing on products as long as they undergo what is called scientific validating:

“Validation and regulatory acceptance are SLOW and EXPENSIVE, sometimes taking more than 10 years and millions of dollars for a single alternative method. HOWEVER, once an alternative method has been accepted as an official OECD Test Guideline, all OECD member countries and adherents to its policy on “mutual acceptance of data” are required to accept the results of the test without question”.
