"Lab animals will have chemicals dripped into their eyes, be force fed capsules and have liquids pumped directly into their stomachs via plastic tubes. Side effects of such experiments include vomiting, internal bleeding, seizures, paralysis and, finally, death. Most lab animals will be experimented on several times before dying"
"Vioxx – a drug designed to ease the pain of arthritis sufferers – improved animal heart health (and was tested ‘safe’ on monkeys), but went on to cause over 140,000 fatal heart attacks and strokes in humans"
"Humans share 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees. However, chimps are immune to HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and common Malaria. The latter kills millions of humans every year. Therefore, the 2% DNA difference is HUGE"
"The results of drug testing may be different on male rats and male Beagle dogs compared with females, due to differences in liver function in males and females (23, 24). That makes animal testing even less reliable than tossing a coin."
"Animals are similar to people. But how scientific is the word “similar” when one considers that humans share 50 percent of their DNA with a banana?"
