ANIMAL TESTING

The use of non-human animals in research and development projects, especially for purposes of determining the safety of substances such as foods or drugs.

What are animals tested for?

Product testing is the testing of products such as soaps, cosmetics, household cleaners and pesticides on animals to ensure they are safe for human use.

Research uses the testing of drugs and medical procedures on animals.

Education and training uses animals to teach anatomy and to train medical students

What kinds of animals do they test on?

Mice Rats Cats Dogs Rabbits Farm Animal pigs

Types of Tests

The Draize Eye Test

Dermal Toxicity Test

Lethal Dose Tests

How many animals suffer?Approximately 17- 32 million animals are used in

research each year 65,000 Dogs 20,000 Cats 30,000 Sheep 245,000 Rabbits Over a million Rats & Mice 175,000 Hamsters 57,000 Primates 58,000 Pigs

What do the animals go through?

Poisoned burned scalded Irradiated genetically manipulated physically injured inflicted with deadly diseases and surgically

mutilated.

What’s the point of testing when: Animal tests and human results match only 5%-25% of

the time. Rats are only 37% effective in determining what causes

cancer in humans. The stress that animals endure in labs can effect

experiments, making the results meaningless. One international study that examined the results of rat

and mouse LD50 tests for 50 chemicals found that these tests were able to predict toxicity in humans with only 65 percent accuracy

Is all of this really necessary?

Alternatives to Animal Testing

Episkin-a reconstructed human in vitro epidermis for evaluation of cosmetics, pharmaceutical and chemical compounds.

Epiocular-a reproducible, multi-layered human cell-derived tissue for testing ocular irritancy of chemicals and other materials.

Epiderm-is a reproducible, three-dimensional, human cell-derived skin tissue for studies of corrosives and irritants.

Micro dosing

Benefits of non-animal testing

Alternative scientific tests are often more reliable than animal tests.

The use of human tissue in toxicity testing is more accurate than the animal models.

Non-animal tests are more cost-effective, practical, and expedient.

Cruelty-free products are more environmentally friendly.
