anastasia: ;)~~

And with the arrival of spring comes lotes and lots of new baby animals...when you are out,please keep in mind that if you see a baby animal,but no Mother...that does not garantee that the animal is abandoned or orphaned.Alot of people just assume that this is the case.PLEASE leave all baby animals where you find them as the parent(s) are certainly close by.Animals will allow the babies to wonder off a safe distance while the whole time keeping a watchful eye on them...People automatiacally assume the worst and take the baby,either to nurse themselves or take them to a shelter.I have heard stories of after "do-gooders" take the babies,the mother is heard yelling and crying for her baby..PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE DO NOT try to "help" a baby that you may see without it's Mother.

Life in a Laboratory
Imagine living locked inside a closet without control over any aspect of your life. You can't choose when and what you eat, how you will spend your time, whether or not you will have a partner and children, and if you do, who that partner will be. You can't even decide when the lights go on and off. Think about spending your entire life like this, even though you have committed no crime.

This is life in a laboratory for animals. It is deprivation, isolation, and misery.

Now consider all the specialized needs of the species imprisoned for experimentation. Chimpanzees, in their natural homes, are never separated from their families and troops. They spend hours together every day, grooming each other and making soft nests for sleeping each night. They are loving and protective parents, and baby chimps will live close to their mothers for many years. But in a laboratory, chimpanzees are caged alone. There are no families, no companions, no grooming, no nests. There are only cold, hard steel bars and loneliness that goes on for so many years that most chimpanzees sink into depression, eventually losing their minds.

Rats and mice are denied a place to dig and hide. Dogs and cats are deprived of exercise, affection, and the homes that they long for with families to care for them. Rabbits have no room to leap. Pigs cannot root in the ground or build their nests. Even when the cages are clean–and this is not always the case–the animals are not allowed to engage in any normal behavior.

On top of the deprivation, there are the experiments. Animals are infected with diseases that they would never normally contract–tiny mice grow tumors as large as their own bodies, kittens are purposely blinded, rats are made to suffer seizures. Experimenters force-feed chemicals to animals, conduct repeated surgeries on them, implant wires in their brains, crush their spines, and much more. Think of what it would be like to endure this and then be dumped back into a cage, usually without any painkillers. Video footage from inside laboratories shows that animals cower in fear every time someone walks by their cages. They don't know if they will be dragged from their prison cells for an injection, blood withdrawal, a painful procedure or surgery, or death. Often animals see other animals killed right in front of them.

While some facilities are better than others at caring for animals–not every lab employee kills mice by cutting off their heads with scissors, a practice that PETA documented at the University of North Carolina–there are no happy animals inside laboratories. Read about the hidden lives of some of the animals used in cruel experiments rats and mice and baboons.

anastasia: Thanks for that, i now feel really depressed.

WatfordFC: I'm sorry...it's just that people think this stuff doesn't happen and it does...it needs to be talked about so that maybe it can someday stop

anastasia: I think everybody knows it happens, i am certain of that.

I still thnk it should be brought out in the public view..I'm sorry if this upsets you,but I want issues like this talked about too.

anastasia: I always make sure I buy products which say 'NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS' especially things like make up, shampoo, soap etc etc.
I think its disgusting that animals should suffer for humans vanity!

Lamby: Yes i agree. but what about life saving drugs which cant be tested on humans first.

WatfordFC: Hmmmmmm you know Im not too sure about that....lots of animal tests for drug use on humans is a waste of time as the animals react very differently...I think rats are similar in genetic make up which is why they are so commonly used...but even then it still takes human trials before they know for sure if the drug is safe for humans

Lamby: yes, a prime example are those recent trials over here, where they affected those young guinea pigs (human)
