This approach can be contrasted with field studies in which animals are observed in their natural environments or habitats. Experimental research with animals is usually conducted in universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, defense establishments and commercial facilities that provide animal testing services to industry. keelykennedy https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1801146543 2021-10-07 23:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1801146543 Over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year.92% of experimental drugs that are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials because they are too dangerous or don’t work.Labs that use mice, rats, birds, reptiles and amphibians are exempted from the minimal protections under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA).Up to 90% of animals used in U.S. labs are not counted in the official statistics of animals tested. Take a stand by kidnapping your friends’ products that were tested on animals (seriously!). Sign up for Kidnapped Cosmetics.Europe, the world’s largest cosmetic market, Israel and India have already banned animal testing for cosmetics, and the sale or import of newly animal-tested beauty products.Even animals that are protected under the AWA can be abused and tortured. And the law doesn’t require the use of valid alternatives to animals, even if they are available.According to the Humane Society, registration of a single pesticide requires more than 50 experiments and the use of as many as 12,000 animals.In tests of potential carcinogens, subjects are given a substance every day for 2 years. Others tests involve killing pregnant animals and testing their fetuses.The real-life applications for some of the tested substances are as trivial as an “improved” laundry detergent, new eye shadow, or copycat drugs to replace a profitable pharmaceutical whose patent expired.Alternative tests achieve one or more of the “3 R’s:” replaces a procedure that uses animals with a procedure that doesn’t, reduces the number of animals used in a procedure, refines a procedure to alleviate or minimize potential animal pain.Several cosmetic tests commonly performed on mice, rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs include: skin and eye irritation tests where chemicals are rubbed on shaved skin or dripped into the eyes without any pain relief.[11] keelykennedy https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1801151614 2021-10-08 00:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1801151614 keelykennedy https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808921063 2021-10-11 22:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808921063 mice (2.51 million experiments)rats (171,069 experiments)guinea-pigs (6,931 experiments)hamsters (1,583 experiments)other rodents (1,175 experiments)rabbits (10,188 experiments)cats (131 experiments)dogs (4,227 experiments)ferrets (428 experiments)other carnivores (372 experiments)horses (10,512 experiments)pigs (4,905 experiments)goats (53 experiments)sheep (53,277 experiments)cows (5,966 experiments) keelykennedy https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808922967 2021-10-11 22:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808922967 https://wrlc-gulaw.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?context=L&vid=01WRLC_GUNIVLAW:01WRLC_GUNIVLAW&search_scope=MyInstitution&isFrbr=true&tab=Library keelykennedy https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808928936 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4495509/]]> 2021-10-11 22:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808928936 -To raise awareness keelykennedy https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808930560 -Support Non Animal testing]]> 2021-10-11 22:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/keelykennedy/g6e0ahl5jxsn5q9g/wish/1808930560
