It is high time that animal testing finally END!
The NIH (National Institue of Health) and other government agencies have akcnowleged that animal tests are not only unethical but also a waste of money because THEY DO NOT WORK!
Animals have entirely different biological systems than humans and results cannot be extrapolated.
There is a long history of drugs that have proven safe on animals being released into the market only to end of killing people.
We are now at a point in the United Stated where we can grw organs on chips, simulate skin and so much more.

IT'S TIME TO END THIS ARCHAIC FORM OF SO-CALLED SCIENCE
When doctors, biologists and scientists are saying it is time to end this, we must do it
Help Beagle Freedom Project find the Federal Legislation needed to end animal testing and sign the Petition to show your support that you do not support animal testing!
Animal testing has no place in modern society. It is unethical, outdated and unnecessary. There are much more reliable and ethical forms of science available now such as organs on chips, computer modeling and more, that save lives.
In her abstract on the Flaws and Human Harms of Animal Experimentation, Dr. Aysha Akhtar, MD., M.P.H. has stated, “….animal experimentation generally (and animal modeling specifically) raises important concerns about its reliability and predictive value for human outcomes and for understanding human physiology. The unreliability of animal experimentation across a wide range of areas undermines scientific arguments in favor of the practice. Additionally, I show how animal experimentation often significantly harms humans through misleading safety studies, potential abandonment of effective therapeutics, and direction of resources away from more effective testing methods. The resulting evidence suggests that the collective harms and costs to humans from animal experimentation outweigh potential benefits and that resources would be better invested in developing human-based testing methods.” The Flaws and Human Harms of Animal Experimentation.

The NIH and other government entities have stated time and again that one cannot extrapolate animal models to humans, yet it continues to test on animals, releasing drugs on the market that have proven safe in animals in laboratories and end up harming and killing humans.Many of these tests are abbhorent and would be considered animal cruelty if done to a companion dog or cat.
