Many people give money to charities believing their money will be used to help people in need. They don't always realize that their money may instead be used to fund testing on animals. While some people believe animal testing is necessary, there are now many humane ways to learn about disease and to test medical treatments, methods that are actually mais effective than testing on animais and that do not cause pain and death to innocent creatures.
Here are just a few of the charities that currently fund testing on animals. If you object to testing on animals, let these charities know you cannot support them until they stop harming and killing animals. Find other, kinder charities to support instead.

American coração Association

The American coração Association has funded studies to determine the effects of segundo hand smoke on chickens, forcing the birds to breathe concentrated cigarette smoke for extended periods of time. One has to pergunta the value of such studies, since the harmful effects of segundo hand smoke on humans have been well established. The American coração Association has helped fund numerous other cruel studies, including studies in holes were cut in the throats of lambs to see how that affected their breathing.

March of Dimes

The March of Dimes funded a study in which the eyes of gatinhos were sewn shut for one year, to prove that loss of normal vision alters the brain development of cats. Science long atrás established that loss of vision alters brain development of humans, but now we know it does the same thing in cats. The gatinhos were killed after one year. The March of Dimes also funds studies in which drugs and alcohol are given to pregnant animais to prove that these substances harm developing babies, something we all know harms humans.

Red cruz

Many people are surprised to learn that the Red cruz funds experiments on animals, but they do. In one experiment, researchers drained 30 percent of the blood volume of rabbits every two weeks to see how it affected them. Other experiments funded por the Red cruz involved mice, rats and toads.

Shriners Burns Institutes

Shriners Burns Institutes have studied the effects of burns on rats, guinea pigs, cachorros and ovelha, ovelhas for years. In one study, rats were burned so that the effects of a particular drug on wound healing could be studied. Since the drug was already being used on humans, one is left to wonder why the researchers didn't just study the effects of the drug on them.

After I read about Emilie Autumn's pet rats Sir Edward and Basil, and how close she is with them, I thought about how a lot of people with pet snakes would have fed Sir Edward and Basil to the snake. I don't think snakes should be pets. Some are poisonness, they can bite you at anytime, and if your showing off with a pet boa, jiboia constritor, constrictor around your neck, your just asking for trouble.
Snakes should be left in the wild. A snake in the wild will find and eat one animal at a time. A person would feed it several rats, rabbits, mice, or in this case, kittens. A woman who rescus animais in my community...

New figures from the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF), the biggest UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of ‘pet’ rabbits, show that the number of unwanted rabbits has nearly doubled in recent years.

The last meaningful survey conducted por the charity estimated the number of rabbits given up to rescue shelters at around 35,000. The organisation has recently conducted another survey, and was shocked to find the figure now standing at well over 67,000.

‘What is really worrying,’ said Richard Saunders, RWAF Veterinary Expert Advisor, ‘is that this number only reflects...

Tips or ways to help out animais in your hometown!
-Help out at an Animal Shelter!
-Gather friends/family and adopt a stray dog OR cat OR even some other animal
-Treat your dog/cat or other animais well. When they do something wrong like steal comida from you, say "no" in a low voice INSTEAD of yelling and screaming at them. They cannot understand high pitches
-Tell your friends to treat their animais the RIGHT Way. Like no loud screaming(if u have little siblings, that's okay) or no slapping their butts if they do ONE SMALL THING (Trust me, I know)
-When helping at an Animal Shelter, make sure your mentors know to use a fake arm to test the animal's behavior
-If you see someone abusing their dog or other animals, step up, take the animal away or run straight to other help.
PLEASE! Try these out! They may help! You knows, maybe Animal Abuse will come to a stop. Don't forget to watch Animal Planet to learn mais about animal behavior

Are animais toys?

I amor my family. Really I amor all oft them. I would never harm one member of my family. I’m not bad. That’s not my nature. I’m not that bad some people think.
My best friend is the little girl. She is the smallest person of my family. And I know that she doesn’t understand many things yet. I also know that she loves me very much. Sometimes we are together alone. When the parents don’t find the time to look after her, then they give her to me. Then I look after her and play with her. I amor to do that, because I amor her. I amor to spend time with the little girl...
