Every year millions of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed in crude chemical tests being forced to inhale chemicals that are bad to the body.
Animal testing costs the American/Canadian public over $136 billion annually.
Drugs that pass animal tests end up harming or killing humans about 61% of the time.
Between 25 and 50 billion animals are meaninglessly killed in laboratories each year.
50% of the animals used for cosmetic testing, 50% die two to three weeks after being tested.
Animal tests aren't reliable. People and animals are different and that's why a medicine or cosmetic ingredient that is safe on animals may not be it on people. For example aspirin is toxic to rats and mice but not to people. Animals bones are broken to test painkillers.
We call on the government of Canada to stop testing on animal testing.
