Animal abuse for science

Each year, it is estimated that more than 25 million dogs, cats, monkeys, mice, rats and other animals are forced to endure painful experiments.

Animals are deliberately sickened with toxic chemicals or infected with diseases, live in barren cages and are typically killed when the experiment ends. Humans and animals are very different, so outdated animal experiments often produce results that cannot accurately predict human responses.
