Animals are constantly being tortured while scientists and test conductors claim that the animals are not in pain and given painkillers. However, this is not true. Most tests do cause pain. If you think about it, how can tests trying to see if make-up irritates the eye, not be painful? In addition, these animals are not given anesthetics prior to tests nor any painkillers administered to ease the pain afterward in fear that these drugs may cause inaccurate results in tests. On the other hand, it may be because drugs such as aspirin or anesthetics do not work on the animal that is being tested on. For example, aspirin kills cats. There is an endless amount of examples like the one stated above. A secretly filmed video of Procter & Gamble (P&G) shows things like the following: 48 monkeys killed to test nasal decongestant which is already in use by humans; 28 female cats had their abdomens cut open and solution injected repeatedly into their bowels; 24 young dogs were given kidney failure by the removal of one kidney and damaging the other. All the dogs were killed after being fed an experimental diet and their kidneys analyzed. Eighteen young Great Danes were fed differing diets, and at eighteen months of age their bones from their front and back right legs were cut out and then stressed until they broke; pigs were used in similar experiments. Eighteen beagle puppies were dosed with a drug that damaged their kidneys. Blood samples were taken repeatedly and urine collected through a tube inserted into the puppies’ bladders through their penises. All the dogs were killed and their kidneys analyzed. Obviously, these are just some examples. P&G is just another one of those companies who say that their animal testing is minimized and that the animals are not in much pain, yet they do the complete opposite.
Companies such as P&G only claim certain things while doing the opposite. This is probably true with hundreds or companies and organizations. Animal testing is...
