Animals are continually under scrutiny due to various forms of abuse and cruelty, yet they being victimized in lab work and testing. Such occurrences are also cruel and unjust for any and all defenseless animals and want to ensure that a proposed bill be implemented to stop all animal testing.

Animal testing continues to culminate in labs and schools for teaching purposes rather than engaging in human-relevant alternatives. There are many viable concerns of using animals in lab test that include the issue of various animals lacking legal protection, absence of inspection in research facilities, inability to concur with violations and deficiency in choosing or opting for other more viable, inhumane methods of testing and research. Animals endure horrific treatment and conditions in testing and the laboratory scene which can include mutilation, starvation, restraint, being cut open without painkillers and so much more. When no longer needed, they are tossed out like trash.
There are various alternatives to animal testing with more humane methods such as but not limited to computer modeling and programming/simulation, human cells and tissue cultures, use of test tubes and to possibly get microdoses of potential drugs that can be analyzed but cause no ill effects. Through research and investigation, there are other safer human-related methods of testing than victimizing an innocent animal. Read more at http://caat.jhsph.edu/
I ask that you support the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and stand up for human-relevant animal-free methods for chemical testing. The purpose of this petition is to urge President Obama to sign a bill into law that would provide for better protection of animals and ban all animal testing. You can help with this goal by signing and sharing this petition, adding your own thoughts and comments in the protection of animals.
