| Every year, untold numbers of rats and mice are "sacrificed" to the biomedical research industry, in the name of creating more overpriced, copyrighted substances to be marketed by pharmaceutical companies. Animal experimentation has been repeatedly shown to be obsolete, irrelevant, and even outright damaging to the process of pharmaceutical development. Since rats and mice (and rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, monkeys, cats, and dogs) are not human, the results obtained from animal testing are rarely useful or accurate indicators of what will happen during the required subsequent phase of testing on humans. Still, we allow animal testing to continue, with some bizarre idea that it makes the new pharmaceuticals "safe". Denied even the most basic USDA protection, mice and rats are the primary food for the biomedical research machine. | |
