    ¿WHAT IS EXPERIMENTATION WITH
    ANIMALS?
    Animal experimentation or vivisection (Previously this term was only used for test surgical
    procedures performed on animals, now its meaning has been generalized to all tests with live
    animals) designates those studies carried out to test medicines, cleaning products, cosmetics ,
    surgical procedures, military tests, tobacco, agrochemical products, etc. The benefit that all
    these aspects apparently bring to humanity seems to overshadow the fact of the pain and
    suffering that are caused to animals. Laboratory animals can be subjected to procedures such as:

    Deprivation of water, food and/or sleep. Force feeding, poisoning, burns, electrocutions, etc.
    Induction of heart attacks, ulcers, cancer or stress. Infectious diseases. Mutilations or wounds of
    different parts of the body. Brain damage or destruction of sensory organs.

    The most commonly used animals in laboratories are mice and rats in general, due
    to their easy handling, cheap housing, rapid reproduction, etc. But other animals
    such as chimpanzees, monkeys, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles,
    amphibians, etc., are also used. The estimate of animals used annually in
    laboratories varies from 41 million to 100 million; this, not counting the
    inaccuracy of the figures provided and the animals that are killed when there is
    “excess product”. Some countries, for example, do not count specimens such as
    rats and mice. The six countries that most use animals in laboratories are:

    YEAR 2000
    Mundialmente 41 – 100.000.000
    Japón + 12.000.000
    EEUU + 12.000.000
    Gran Bretaña 2 – 3.000.000
    Canadá 2 – 3.000.000
    Francia 2 – 3.000.000
    Alemania 2 – 3.000.000
    What kind of practices do they carry out on
    animals inside laboratories?

    Experimentation on animals (vivisection) is one of the most questionable practices


    within the scientific field and in the same way in the cosmetics industry. In
    laboratories, animals are mainly used for toxicity tests (the Draize test, the LD50, the
    Dermal Toxicity Test and the Oral Toxicity Test). In these, the animals are subjected to
    lethal doses of all kinds of ingredients, to tests allergenic and irritation - cutaneous
    ulceration, tests of inhalation and injection of toxins, biological and chemical weapons,
    resistance to lack of atmosphere or gravity, medicines and drugs. In the worst cases,
    animals lose some of their senses and are subjected to mutilation. When the animals are
    no longer "useful for anything" they are sacrificed or left to fend for themselves in the
    streets, where they make their death more painful and prolonged.

    ¿What is the importance of animal movements?

    Animal rights movements have their origins in the first protective and conservationist
    societies created in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but it was not until 1970 and
    1980 that these movements began to gain relevance worldwide. Its main function is to
    ensure the welfare of all animals and to respect their living conditions. In the case of
    animals that are forced to remain in laboratories to undergo various procedures, the
    animal protection groups are the ones who carry out demonstrations against these
    macabre acts. It is necessary to promote an environmental culture that recognizes
    respect for life in all its forms.
