Warning this is GRAPHIC - the WORST I HAVE SEEN

When I think of people right here on care2 that try and justify this, I want to literally VOMIT



RE: "Researchers" tattoo the word CRAP on a monkey.(graphic)

Still think this is ok and necessary? I'd love to hear how it's justified..feel free to contact me directly.

Please repost this far and wide, we all need to work together to enlighten others and to end this horrible cruelty forever!

from: Real Men Don't Hurt Animals. *The Meaning Of Vivisection*
Vivisection is the cutting into or dissecting of a live animal. Billions of non-human animals have been burnt, crushed, sliced, electrocuted, poisoned with toxic chemicals, and psychologically tormented in the name of scientific curiosity. What have we learned from all of this suffering? That animal research is inherently unethical, inevitably wasteful, and wholly unreliable. The U.S. squanders approximately $18 billion per year on animal experiments, much of which is funded by taxpayers, even though alternatives are less expensive and can be used repeatedly. And what do we get for our dollars? "Too much suffering for too little knowledge

*Life as a Test Subject*
Even in the absence of the actual experiments, these animals lives are still nightmarish. They spend their short lives in small, locked cages with the bare minimum of food and water. Thats as good as it gets--some arent even afforded clean water or adequate food. Many lab technicians have observed empty water and food dishes, but only a percentage of them report such neglect.

*What Can You Do*
In order to effectively help animals in laboratories, we must remember to seek nothing less than their release and freedom. If we settle for improvements such as bigger cages or better breeding conditions, their liberation will be that much harder to obtain. They do not belong in laboratories or auctions in the first place. In helping them, we must remember our goal: the animals absolute freedom.
EDUCATE YOURSELF and SHARE WHAT YOU LEARN WITH OTHERS. By knowing facts about the cruelty and scientific futility of animal experimentation, you will be able to speak intelligently about this sensitive issue. Speak out whenever you can, to your newspapers editor, your neighbor, co-workers, family, friends, and whenever the topic arises. Voice your opinion and back it up with the facts.

VIVISECTION THEN

This chimpazee shown right, was infected with syphillis, a disease that does not occur naturally in chimpanzees. What mind could think that this cruelty could be of benefit to anyone? Primates are similar in many ways to humans, but they are also VERY different too.


Laser beam directed at the eyes of the monkey causes them to sizzle and explode


Scapegoats for homicidal insanity. Under the pretext of studying the effect of pain on aggressiveness, two peaceful monkeys are tortured by electric shocks until they are seized by the same murderous frenzy that prompts this kind of experiments, and try to kill each other. At the Yerkes Primate Center of Atlanta.



Thousands of animals each year are forced to chain-smoke cigarettes, to prove that tobacco is harmful, or that it is not according to who foots the bill.



Puppy in an American university laboratory on his 51st day of fasting, watching the feeding of other animals. The sign reads: Do not feed. Give water only.



Millions of animals are poisoned every year in long-lasting alibi toxicity tests imposed by retrograde laws such as the American Delaney amendment, Result: thousands of human casualties every year from deadly but lucrative drugs, since animals react differently from man.



In October 1978, a commando of young Frenchmen freed Nana from the laboratories of Servier outside Paris, where weight-reducing drugs were being tested. Nana died a few weeks later, as did some of the consumers of those drugs, and the manufacturers landed in court.



Mechanical hammer used for smashing dogs skulls



All these cats skulls are perforated. The kittens are immobilized, the mother sticks anxiously by them.



1977: THE CASE OF NEW YORKS MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
(Above) One of the male cats immobilized in a stereotaxic device built by H. Neumann & Co., Skokie, Illinois, in the laboratory of the N.Y. Museum of Natural History, as described in this book. The cat was blinded by enucleation of both orbits (removal of the eyeballs), his head was clamped in a head holder, his penis nerve was surgically exposed and then subjected to continuous electric shocks until termination (i.e. the animals death), according to the experimenters own official description.

VIVISECTION NOW

Experiments on cats carried out in Japan.

To test the effects of burns, this beagle puppy was burned alive at the Shriner's Hospital, Cincinnati, USA.
(1980's-1990's)




This dog's leg was deliberately shattered with a hammer for the purpose of inducing psychological stress. The dog received no anaesthetic nor medical treatment during or after the injury was inflicted.

Rabbit subjected to Draize skin test for a cosmetic in the laboratories of the Mennen Company.



Experiment on the brain of a cat that has been immobilized in a restraining device.



TOP: Monkey kept in England's Royal College of Surgeons. As can be seen, the experimenters have tattooed the word "CRAP" on the animal's forehead. Yet practitioners of vivisection assert that they love and respect the animals on which they experiment.

BUTTOM:Monkey kept in a restraining device: non-human primates are often kept imprisoned for long periods in these devices without being able to move.




A rabbit used for scabies experiments at the Wright State University (USA), July 1992.



Some baby monkeys, imported to be used for laboratory experiments, were found dead on their arrival at London airport (UK).

A cat with an electrode inserted into his skull. Cats are popular subjects of neurophysiology experiments because vivisectors think that their brain has similarities with the human brain.

Dogs killed after experiments in the CBSC laboratories, Burlington, USA, 1990.




A cat used in experiments on blindness, involving the cutting of the nerves at the base of his brain (Boys Town Hospital, USA, 1996).
