Charities Good & Bad - 2007/03/23 02:10
Cruel Science: Health Charities
Some health charities ask for donations to help people with diseases and disabilities yet spend the money to bankroll horrific experiments on dogs, rabbits, rats, mice, primates, hamsters, pigs, ferrets, frogs, fish, guinea pigs, sheep, birds and other animals. While human health needs cry out for attention and so many people are going without medical care, animal experimentation enriches laboratories and scientists but drains money from relevant and effective projects that could really help save lives.
Healing Without Hurting
Instead of pillaging animals' bodies for cures for human diseases, compassionate charities focus their research where the best hope of treatment lies: with humans.
They realise that animal experiments are unnecessary, unreliable, and sometimes dangerously misleading. Enormous variations exist among rats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, and human beings, and meaningful scientific conclusions cannot be drawn about one species by studying another. Non-animal methods provide a more accurate method of testing and can be interpreted more objectively.
Compassionate, modern charities know that we can improve treatments through up-to-date, non-animal methods and they fund only non-animal research, leading to real progress in the prevention and treatment of disease - without starving, crippling, burning, poisoning, or cutting open animals.
