STOP ANIMAL TESTING
STOP ANIMAL TESTING
Why this petition matters
Growing up, I have always had a huge heart for animals. After doing some research, I found that, only 3 percent of animals survive lab experiments. Lets come together and save our animals in danger. The majority of the animals used in experiments are euthanized (killed) during or after the experiment. In some cases, animals are not euthanized, but die as a result of the experiment for which they were used. Millions of animals suffer and die in testing, training, and other experiments. More than 100 million animals suffer and die in the U.S. every year in cruel chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics tests as well as in medical training exercises and curiosity-driven medical experiments at universities. Typically, facilities that engage in animal testing not only dispose of animals, but also dispose of potentially dangerous chemicals, food waste, and a variety of supplies used during the testing process. This results in environmental exposure to toxic chemicals, diseases, and other risks. In conclusion, animal testing should be eliminated because it violates animals' rights, it causes pain and suffering to the experimental animals, and other means of testing product toxicity are available.
