Did you know that hundreds of thousands of mice, rats, cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, monkeys, and other animals suffer and die in cruel and pointless product-testing experiments every year?

Yes, and it is horrible. Our taxes pay for this cruelty and we have so much more advanced technology than to continue this torture of living, breathing, feeling and loving creatures! This must end!

innocent primates, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and other animals are used against their will as research subjects in experiments and procedures that would be considered sadistically cruel were they not conducted in the name of science.

Researchers claim that they must be allowed unfettered access to animals for experiments in order to find cures for human diseases, yet they refuse to address the serious ethical problems of torturing sentient creatures for research purposes. On top of that, over-reliance on animal experimentation has historically hindered scientific advancement and endangered human safety because results from animal research typically cannot be applied to humans. In fact, scientists could save more human lives by using humane non-animal research and testing methods that are more accurate and efficient.
