"Animals used for Experimentation." //PETA// 3 Apr 2009. []
 * 1) Many of the most important advances in the field of health care can be attributed to human studies, which have led to major medical breakthroughs, such as the development of anesthesia, the stethoscope, morphine, radium and many more (B.D)
 * 2) The discovery of the link between cholesterol and heart disease and the link between smoking and cancer; and the isolation of the virus that causes AIDS, animal testing played no role in these or many other important medical developments (B.D)
 * 3) 40 year worth of expriments on monkeys for polio was waisted because they have made little progress (B.D)
 * 4) When they used human and monkey cells then was a break through made for polio(B.D)
 * 5) Animal experiments give misleading results for humans health, if we haddn't used animal testing we would probably be better off (B.D)
 * 6) Telling people to stop smoking, slow down on the fatty foods and exercise regularly then we would have less animal and human suffering (B.D)
 * 7) Animal tests are primitive, and modern technology and human clinical tests are much more effective and reliable (B.D)
 * 8) Even if we had no alternative to using animals, which is not the case, animal testing would still be ethically unacceptable (B.D)
 * 9) there are probably some medical problems that can only be cured by testing on unwilling humans, but we don’t conduct such tests because we recognize that it would be wrong to do so (B.D)
 * 10) There is no guarantee that drugs are safe, even if they have been tested on animals because the physiological differences between humans and other animals prevent the results of animal tests from being accurately extrapolated to humans (B.D)
 * 11) Some products that have been tested on animals and passed, still have side effects on humans (B.D)
 * 12) Human clinical and epidemiological studies, studies on cadavers, and computer simulations are faster, more reliable, less expensive, and more humane than animal tests (B.D)
 * 13) The point is not whether animal experimentation can be useful to animals or humans; the point is that we do not have the moral right to inflict unnecessary suffering on those who are at our mercy (B.D)
 * 14) Saying that it's okay to test or experiments on animals to advance veterinary science is like saying that it’s acceptable to experiment on poor children to benefit rich ones, which in reality doesn't make any sence (B.D)
 * 15) There is no law in the U.S. that prohibits any animal experiment, no matter how frivolous or painful (B.D)
 * 16) The Animal Welfare Act or AWA is very weak and poorly enforced, and it does not protect rats and mice which are the most common victims of animal experiments, cold-blooded animals, birds, or animals who are traditionally used for food (B.D)
 * 17) Under the AWA, animals can be starved, electrically shocked, driven insane, or burned with a blowtorch as long as it’s done in a clean laboratory, which in the end doesn't help the animals (B.D)
 * 18) At the City of Hope in California, one of the country’s most prominent research facilities, animals starved to death and drowned in their own feces (B.D)
 * 19) Many experimenters become calloused after years of research and don’t see the animals’ suffering, and they treat animals like disposable tools and consider proper animal care to be too expensive, which is wrong of course (B.D)
 * 20) Most people would agree that it would be wrong to sacrifice one human for the 'greater good' of others because it would violate that individual’s rights, but when it comes to sacrificing animals, the assumption is that human beings have rights and animals do not, but why wouldn't animals have the same rights humans, because they can't speak and tell you about the pain (B.D)
 * 21) Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have an inherent worth, a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans, we believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering (B.D)
 * 22) Many household products and cosmetics companies still pump their products into animals' stomachs, rub them onto their skin, squirt them into their eyes, or force animals to inhale them as aerosol sprays (B.D)
 * 23) Charities such as the March of Dimes use donations from private citizens to fund experiments on animals, and the FDA requires all drugs to be tested on animals, but because humans and animals are different, the drugs may not be reliable and fully safe for humans (B.D)
 * 24) Companies that do not test on animals proudly state it on their labels, so if you were ever wondering if it was then check the lable, most of the products you use are tested on animals without you even realizing what that product may have done to an animal, it could have been eaten, put in eyes, on skin and tons of other things (B.D)
 * 25) Send back items that you have from companies that test on animals, and write a letter to the companies explaining why you won't buy their products anymore, if enough people send in letters then the company would probably stop testing there products on animals (B.D)
 * 26) A list of a few companies that do not test there products on animals are, Bath island, Berol, Best bath store, Biokleen, Conair and thankfully a lot more (B.D)
 * 27) A list of a few companies that test on animals, Coppertone, Crest,Banana boat, Aveeno, Axe, Downy, Fresh step, Garnier, Joy, Lysol and unfortunatly thosands of others (B.D)

"Animal Experimentation." __Stop Animal Exploitation NOW!__ (2000) 439 . 1. A report about the year 2000 says that 1,416,643 animals were experimented on in 2000 (J.N) 2. There were 69,516 dogs experimented on in 2000 (J.N) 3. 25,560 cats experimented on in 2000 (J.N) 4. 57,518 primates were experimented on (J.N) 5. 505,009 guinea pigs were experimented on (J.N) 6. 258,754 rabbits were experimented on (J.N) 7. 23,934 sheep (J.N) 8. 66,651 pigs (J.N) 9. 69,126 other farm animals (J.N) 10. 166,419 other animals (J.N) 11. 104,202 were in painfull or stressful experiments without anesthesia (J.N) 12. they dont even record some of the most used animals like rats and mice in the report (J.N) 13. if you included the rats there would probably be about 20 million animals exerimented on in 2000 (J.N) 14. Animal experimentation is one of the most controversial issues that confront the animal rights movement (B.D) 15. This issue is shrouded in secrecy protected by locked doors and security systems, not many people even understand whats going on with animal testing (B.D) 16. You can't just walk into labs and look around and start asking questions about whats going on and what happening because most of the things going on are a secret, you have to go else where to get information (B.D) 17. Every year the USDA/APHIS publishes a document titles the Animal Welfare Enforcement Report (AWER), this document deals with many issues germane to the animal rights movment (B.D) 18.The lab is required to report how many animals are used in experiments and how many are being kept for breeding purposes, no totals are given for how many are for breeding (B.D) 19. The total of inaccurate data given to the USDA is over more then twice in one case it was said that only 190 primates were used on a tet but in reality there was 467 primates used 20. in labs either the primates are tortured in experiments or they have their priceless offspring ripped away from them, when in the wild they would live together in a coloney until death would come to them, this often drives the primates insane or they get depressed (B.D)

Dixon, Thomas. "Animal Experimentation." I.D.E.A International Debate Educaation Association 28 June 2000 3 Apr 2009 <[]>. 1. To infect monkeys with the AIDS virus or to expose rodents to toxic chemicals and radiation is simply not acceptable.(J.D) 2. Millions of animals die each year in experiments, others are often not adequately anaesthetized and are abused by handlers and experimenters. (J.D) 3. In fact few breakthroughs have been made as a result of animal experimentation. (J.D) 4. There has been a catalogue of errors and failures in animal testing. (J.D) 5. After animal testing have subsequently had to be withdrawn because of harmful side-effects. (J.D) 6. In fact, most animal experiments are done on animals that are nothing like human beings - rats and mice. (J.D) 7. The advent of genetic technologies has made possible all sorts of new and horrific acts of animal exploitation, from cloning sheep to creating mutant and hybrid creatures with no dignity or quality of life at all. (J.D) 8. It is only acceptable to test human medicines on human beings if they give their consent. (J.D) 9. Non-human animals are never able to give such consent. (J.D) 10. It is therefore never acceptable to test medicines on perfectly healthy animals, even if the treatments are for use on other animals. (J.D) 11.There are only two reasons why we experimant on animals, one to learn more about the animals and wo, to see what products are harmfull (B.D) 12. pros about animals testing are, that human health comes first and testing on animals can help prevent human suffering, but the animals suffering comes second (B.D) 13. If there is a decent chance that an experiment will result in an important medical breakthrought that will reduce human suffering and death then it is justifiable to allow animal suffering (B.D) 14. It is possible to experiment on animals without being cruel to them (B.D) 15. Advances can be made in medicines by experimenting on animals(B.D) 16. Humans share the smae genes with animals so the results could be similar to the animals an humans (B.D) 17. Something that is often overlooked in the debatable subject is veterinary medicine, the tests are not only for the beneifit of the animals but also the humans as well (B.D) 18. some cons of animal experiment are that animals have the right to be treated as being with value in themselves, not just experiment subjects humans can play with and do whatever they'd like (B.D) 19. the principle of that means that animals should not be experimented on, no matter the potential gain for humanity (B.D) 20. Everyone knows that not all animals are trested well in the labs that do the testing, apart from the fact that millions of animals die in the labs, not all the animals are given pain killers or even anaesthetised, they are often abused by the workers (B.D) 21. THere are alternatives to many tests that are currently done on animals, like growing tissues or cell cultures, where the animals aren't even needed (B.D) 22. Most emperiments are done on animals that are nothing like humans, like rats and mice, which makes an argument about how accurate the test really are (B.D) 23. Each animal has its own unique physiology, the more similar an animal is to human the more intelligent and sentent it is, so the more immoral it is to treat it as a disposable and worthless biological object (B.D) 24. Treating and testing animals is just as bad as scientists going around and colloecting people not caring about thier family and if they want to go or not (B.D) 25. Animal testing may seem helpfull but realy when you look at all the test that are being done and how much of the tests are needed and how much are worthless, theres really no point in testing the animals (B.D)

 * 1) Part of the problem is that artificially induced disease in “animal models” is never identical to the naturally arising disorder in human beings(B.D)
 * 2) Even animal research that is carried out for "medical purposes" tends to be far from relevant to human health(B.D)
 * 3) Animal species also differ in many biologically significant ways, making it that even more unlikely that research results will be correctly interpreted(B.D)
 * 4) Further doubt is cast on the validity of animal research because the species most often used in laboratory experiments are chosen largely on non-scientific grounds, such as cost, ease of handling, or simply habit(B.D)
 * 5) The great majority of animal use for experimental purposes can best be described as ‘curiosity-driven’ research(B.D)
 * 6) Regulations often prescribe a specific regime of toxicity testing to generate information that will enable government regulators to determine whether the benefits of a particular substance outweigh its risks to human health(B.D)
 * 7) Government statistics indicate that product testing accounts for approximately eight percent of all animal use for scientific purposes(B.D)
 * 8) HSI does not consider animal based toxicity studies to be an ethical or scientifically credible means of evaluating potential hazards to human health, wildlife, or the environment(B.D)
 * 9) Dogs are widely used in biomedical research, testing, and education; however the number of dogs used in research has declined over the years(B.D)
 * 64,942 dogs were used in USDA-registered research facilities of these, 1,273 were reported as used in procedures in which pain relief was not administered(B.D)
 * 1) Dogs are commonly used in biomedical research studies as "models" for human disease in many fields, including cardiology, endocrinology, and bone and joint studies involving arthritis and bone fractures, the most of theses need surgery(B.D)
 * 2) Beagles are the most commonly used(B.D)
 * 3) Dogs are the only animals required to have exercise under USDA standards(B.D)
 * 4) The guinea pig, mouse, and hamsters are commonly used for almost anything(B.D)
 * 5) Long-tailed Macaque, Pig-tailed Macaque, and Rhesus Macaque are used because they have human like similarities (B.D)
 * 6) Living conditions for laboratory rabbits are designed primarily with economic and husbandry concerns at the fore, with little, if any, thought given to the psychological well-being of rabbits(B.D)
 * 7) Rabbits in the laboratory are typically housed alone in plastic or steel cages with grid flooring, are fed a standard pellet diet, and have very little, if any, environmental enrichment(B.D)
 * 8) Laboratory rabbits often experience social isolation and lack of mental stimulation, conditions that often lead to abnormal behaviors associated with stress and anxiety, including incessant chewing and scratching on cage bars(B.D)
 * 9) Caged rabbits are also frequently denied the opportunity for normal levels of physical activity which may lead to intestinal problems and, given rabbits' light bone density, also result in osteoporosis and bone deformities(B.D)
 * 10) Rabbits are popular animals for research and testing primarily because they are mild-tempered and easy to handle, keep, and breed(B.D)
 * 11) In addition, rabbit physiology is fairly similar to that of humans, so they are used as models for many human diseases(B.D)
 * 12) According to the USDA, in the year 2002, the United States used 243,838 rabbits in research and testing; 6,324 of who were used in research that caused unrelieved pain(B.D)
 * 13) Rabbits are used in research on the cardiovascular system, skin disorders, immune system, and polyclonal antibody production for use in vaccines(B.D)
 * 14) Skin and eye irritancy testing is frequently conducted on rabbits. In skin irritancy tests, areas of the rabbit's skin are shaved of fur and, in some cases, the shaved skin is abraded to remove several layers of skin cells. Then a test substance is applied to the skin(B.D)
 * 15) Substances include individual chemicals or product formulations, such as cosmetics or household cleaning products for the duration of the test the rabbit is restrained or the area may be covered to prevent licking, rubbing or other disturbances to the test area the test area is periodically examined to assess any skin damage or penetration into the bloodstream and any resulting toxic effects(B.D)
 * 16) Rabbits are used for eye irritancy experiments because each eye has only one tear duct and test chemicals are not easily washed away(B.D)
 * 17) According to data reported by research institutions to the United States Department of Agriculture, 23,640 cats were used in research in 2004 of those, 378 were used in experiments that caused them significant pain(B.D)
 * 18) Cats have been used in research since the late 1800s because they share some physiological features with humans, are a manageable size, long-lived and are easily obtainable.(B.D)
 * 19) Cats are used to research a number of ailments including Chlamydia, cholera, toxoplasmosis, leukemia and AIDS(B.D)
 * 20) Cats have also been used in behavioral research into learning abilities and in neurological studies on disorders such as epilepsy. Cats are also used to research cardiovascular problems, toxicology and spinal cord injuries (B.D)
 * 21) Chimpanzees’ White- throated capuchin used in invasive protocols are typically housed alone in steel cages whose only requirement (B.D)
 * 22) Ferrets are mainly used to research influenza and other viral diseases. They are also used to research canine distemper, which affects dogs also use the animals to research reproduction, asthma, spinal cord injuries, gastric infections and ulcers (B.D)
 * 23) Sheep are commonly used to research human pregnancy because of their short gestation periods, and similar newborn lambs' and human infants' weights (B.D)
 * 24) In more recent years, research on sheep led to the development and testing of treatments for infant respiratory distress and the development of the arteriovenous shunt and surgical techniques that are used during kidney dialysis(B.D)
 * 25) While mice are the most frequently used animals in medical research, rats are a close second. (B.D)
 * 26) Researchers point to rats' short gestation period, rapid growth rate, relative low maintenance, and mild temperament as reasons for choosing this species (B.D)
 * 27) Rats are considered a better "model" than mice for studying certain human diseases and conditions including memory loss, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, cancer, AIDS, substance abuse, genetic disease, spinal cord injuries, and heart disease rats are used in research on diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, and Parkinson's.(B.D)
 * 28) Some of these diseases either do not occur in rats naturally or may affect rats much differently than humans consequently, diseases are often artificially induced in the rat by inserting genes into the rat's genome or creating transgenic rats that have a specific gene turned off or made useless (B.D)

"Cruelty Involved in Animal Research, Testing, and Experimentation." __123HelpMe.com__. 03 Apr 2009 . 1. Hobbes, the cat, has been under experimentation for most of his life. This is probably the last time that he will ever have to be experimented on again. Why? Because he is probably not going to make it through this time (J.N) 2. The makers of Herbal Essences are about to force shampoo down his throat to see what happens to its organs (J.N) 3. Even if the cat lives through the process, they are going to have to kill it to see which organs it could have damaged (J.N)  4. this was an actual human going through this deadly experiment, people would be in shock (J.N) 5. Testing on animals is a very disagreeable process that should not be allowed (J.N) 6. The process of animal testing is one of the most disturbing experiments ever done (J.N) 7. products have gone through a long and complex testing process that leaves millions of animals mutilated, burned, poisoned and gassed in outmoded and unnecessary tests (J.N) 8. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">From these different experiments, animals are often left with different diseases like Syphilis, herpes, or AIDS ("Animal Rights: Animal Testing"). Manufacturers of these different products say that they are performing these tests to assure our safety for these products (J.N) 9. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">The first point why animal testing is a unethical process is because of some of the brutal things that happen in the process (J.N) 10. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Some well-known animals that they use for testing are: cats, dogs, mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, sheep, llamas, cattle, owls, deer, monkeys and other primates (J.N) 11. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">For example, the Draize Test is used on white albino rabbits (S., Jeremy). They use white albino rabbits because of their sensitive eyes and also because the formation of their tear ducts stops tears from draining away all of the foreign substance (J.N) 12. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In this process, scientists rub shampoo, soap, toothpaste, oven cleaner, lipstick, or lawn products into their red eyes (J.N) 13. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">From this point, scientists record the damage that they observed. This test can last up to eighteen days with the poor animals eyelids held open with a clip (J.N) 14. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Many of the rabbits end up breaking their necks trying to escape from the horrifying pain (J.N) 15. First of all, it is pointless to keep the product in their eyes for that long of a period, there is no way that even a child would have something like that in his/her eye for very long (J.N) 16. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">The second reason this is unnecessary to do to a rabbit is that the eye tissue of a rabbit is completely different from humans (J.N) 17. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Most toxic products are tested on different animals (J.N)  18. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Some toxic products that are used are: soaps and detergents, oven cleaners, and toilet cleaner, etc (J.N) 19. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">no amount of animal testing can change the fact that many of these products are harmful if ingested or used in a way not intended by the manufacturer (J.N) <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; msoansilanguage: EN-US; msofareastlanguage: EN-US; msobidilanguage: AR-SA;">20. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In other words, there is no reason to force animals to swallow any toxic products, when no matter what, they would harm someone if they digested it (J.N) 21. Also, many different types of drugs are very useful to human beings, but are very dangerous and deadly to animals (J.N) 22. For example, Penicillin can help people's lives, but actually kills guinea pigs (J.N) 23. Another drug is Aspirin, which, in fact, causes birth defects in mice, monkeys, rats, cats, guinea pigs and dogs (J.N) 24. Sophisticated alternatives to the use of animals in consumer product testing are readily available (J.N) 25. there are obviously many other ways, besides animal testing, which can be used to test different products (J.N) 26. These different alternatives could possibly be more effective, be a better indicator for humans, have much quicker results, and it would not be involved in any kind of animal unkindness (J.N) 27. So, why don't all companies realize that they don't have to do testing on innocent animals (J.N) 28. There are two main reasons why it is so hard for manufacturers to use alternatives: the fright for human safety and the fright of product assurance (J.N) 29. The final reason why animal testing is so cruel is because innocent animals are being abused without reason (J.N) 30. For example, many animals that are used in all of these experiments are animals that have either been stolen or are from different animal's shelters (J.N) 31. A research scientist at Huntingdon Life Sciences was recently caught on videotape punching four puppies repeatedly in the face (J.N) 32. This so-called "scientist" is trying to prevent humans from danger by punching puppies (J.N) <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">33. The scientist tried to back up his crime by stating that he was only trying to do the puppies a favor because the product that he just made them sniff was giving them terrible effects on the body (J.N)

An estimated 17 to 22 million vertebrate animals are used each year in research, education, and testing - less than 1% of the number killed for food. About 85 percent of these animals are rats and mice that have been bred for research (J.D) 2. The other 15% include other small rodents, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, and chimpanzees (J.D) 3. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In 1870, the leading cause of death in the United States was tuberculosis, of all the people born in developed countries like the United States, a quarter were dead by the age of 25, and about half had died by the age of 50, Today, fully 97% of Americans live past their 25th birthday, and over 90 percent live to be older than 50 (J.D) 4. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Antibiotics used to treat everything from minor infections to severe illnesses, nearly half of the biomedical investigations carried out in the United States would not have been possible without laboratory animals (J.D) 5. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Also, the same methods that have been developed to prevent and treat diseases in humans have improved the lives of countless animals, the animals that we keep as pets and raise for food would live shorter and less healthy lives were it not for animal research (J.D)

Laws regulating conditions for laboratory animals are minimal and poorly enforced (J.D) 3. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Many animal experiments produce results which are far from relevant to human health, for example, animal experimentation in the “war on cancer” has been largely a failure (J.D) 4. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Animals and humans differ in medically important ways, and often animal experiments can produce misleading results (J.D) 5. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Likewise, animal experiments in stroke research led to false conclusions, misleading researchers and wasting time and research funds (J.D) 6. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Of the 25 drugs which appeared to reduce the effects of stroke in rodents, not a single one worked in human patients (J.D) 7. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Of the 198 new drugs that went on the market in the decade ending 1985, 102 (51.5 percent) turned out to be more dangerous than pre-market animal tests and limited human trials predicted (J.D) 8. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Barbaric head trauma experiments at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Cincinnati, in which hundreds of monkeys and cats received massive head injuries, were halted after physicians and scientists joined animal advocates in scientific and ethical opposition (J.D) 9. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Animal tests for the safety of cosmetics, household products and chemicals are outdated, inaccurate and unnecessary (J.D) 10. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Approximately one-fourth of the 126 U.S. medical schools—including such schools as Yale, Georgetown, Ohio State, the University of Michigan and many others—have dropped all animal laboratories from their curriculum, and such exercises are optional at nearly all the remainder (J.D)
