Make animal testing illegal.

Estimates say that between 14 and 70 million animals are used in experiments each year. It’s impossible to know exactly how many animals are tested because US law does not require scientists to report how many birds, reptiles, or rodents they use. Over 1 million dogs, cats, primates, sheep, hamsters, and guinea pigs are used in labs each year. Of those, over 86,000 are dogs and cats. 50% of animals used in cosmetic testing die within three weeks of the experiment. Rodents, birds, and reptiles are not protected by the USDA’s Animal Welfare Act. Therefore, labs that only test on these animals are not required to provide pain relief. Many of these labs burn, shock, torture, shock, and starve animals without pain relief. We need to work together to stop this madness.
