Animal Testing is Bad News!

Hello Readers!

Animal Testing

In today's blog post, I shall exploit into detail animal testing. Did you know, most medicine, vaccines, make up and etc. are tested out on animals before they are marketed out into the public? There is no good in animal testing. There is no such thing as ethical animal testing. Animal testing is equivalent to death for the animals. Once they're in the animal testing facilities, the route that follows is death. Please watch the videos posted below and exercise viewer discretion. The images you are about to see is downright ugly. If you do not have the ehart to watch them, then scroll down to see the video summary.



These two videos were done by an undercover Animal Rights Officer in an animal testing facility. In the first video, we saw that the monkeys show aggressive behavior and circling around the cage. This is not a normal phenomenon but, it is a result of isolation from habitat and stress. Earlier on, we saw monkeys who have yet to be used for experimentation in the labs, dying from diarrhea. Diarrhea in monkeys is caused by stress. And for the monkey to die from diarrhea shows you viewers how stressed the monkey is. It's almost like he knew his fate before they even tested him. Animals who are brought into testing facilities usually die there. You saw the video, where they die is filthy, bounded and all things ugly. Imagine yourself dying, caged, abused, bounded and definitely in a lot of pain. The second part of the first video, it shows a monkey who has gone fully mad that he has lost all hope of socializing. Here, they show this male chimpanzee rocking back and forth while mumbling to himself. When given a simulation, he doesn't respond. These are really cruel acts on animals that you see.

The second video was a continuation of the second part of the first video. The young of the chimpanzees are separated away from their mothers from birth. This has psychological effects on both the mothers and their young. For the mothers, they go crazy and speed up their mental retardation process. For the young, since it is out of habitat to be living without their mothers since birth, they will have trouble adapting. With this trouble and the inability to cope combined, they die within 2 or 3 days. The worst part about this video is that, when the animals die, they are just left there. When they, vomit or poop or urinate, their waste is left there and uncleaned. The second half of this video shows how some animals cope with their isolation. This is done by ripping themselves up as a form of simulation.

Most of the animals you see here thatt are used for testing are endangered. The Golden Lion Tamarin monkey is more commonly used in testing pharmaceutical products.

I can't see anyone who would watch this video and still buy products where animal testing was done before they marketed it out. Here is a list of companies and brands that do and do not test. Courtesy of PeTA.
