You see, the world's biggest funder of animal experimentation isn't big cosmetics companies. It's not big pharmaceuticals companies, either. It's YOU! Every year, taxpayers are forced to pay $20 billion 6 — that's BILLION, with a "B" — whether you like it or not: - kittens crippled, asphyxiated, and de-brained (Dept. of Veterans Affairs) - puppies forced to run on treadmills in heart attack experiments (also the VA) - baby monkeys deprived of water, restrained, and addicted to street drugs (NIH) And when the taxpayer-funded torture is done, the survivors are slaughtered and incinerated like garbage. If you did this to a beagle in your own home, you'd go to jail. But if you did it inside a government lab, you'd cash a big check. No anesthesia. No pain relief. Painful primate experiments are already up 370% in the USA. Now Newsweek is reporting that NIH is hiking spending in foreign labs like Russia and China! Tell Congress: taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay $20 billion to cut apart, electroshock, poison, gas, and burn alive animals.
