Companies who test on animals
Each year about five million dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, monkeys, and other animals die in lethal dose tests performed in the U.S. During lethal dose tests, experimental substances are forced into the animals throats, or is pumped into their stomachs by a tube, sometimes causing death by stomach rupture from the sheer bulk of the chemical dosage.
Substances are mixed and injected under the skin, into a vein, or into the lining of the abdomen, they are often applied to the eyes, rectum and vagina or forcibly inhaled through a gas mask. Scientists observe the animal's reaction which include convulsions, labored breathing, diarrhea, constipation, skin eruptions, abnormal posture, and bleeding from the eyes, nose or mouth. According to statistics, 50% of these animals will die in this experiment 2 to 3 weeks later.
The horrible fact about these incidents is that they are unnecessary as there exists cheaper, efficient, better ways with better results....that can be used instead of using animals.
