		<description>I cannot believe that horrific animal testing still goes on in our so-called civilized country.  This is so barbaric, and there are much better alternatives with our advanced technology.  I&#039;ve read many times that animal research actually HINDERS our advances in science because animals are not made up the same way people are.  And for cosmetic companies to continue testing on animals is completely immoral and unethcial.  They do this all in the name of potential lawsuits!  We have enough cosmetics; we don&#039;t need any new or improved items.  I don&#039;t understand while these animal researchers can&#039;t just put themselves in the animals&#039; position and realize (and care) that animals feel physical pain, as well as fear, confusion, loneliness, sense of abandonment---just like humans do.  And for states to mandate that dogs and cats who aren&#039;t adopted from shelters be sold for animal research is difficult for me to comprehend.  It is WRONG!!!</description>

		<description>Testing &amp; experimental produres done to any animal must stop! Vivisection is a horriblly traumatic ordeal for any animal used for testing/experiments. Many animals are kept alive without sedation or pain medication while procedures are done to them. Many are starved or deprived of food/water/medicines needed for survuval during this period. These procedures are done repeatedly to the same animal...dog, cat, rabbit, monkey, rats, etc.. The animal ususally dies a horrfically painful death.
This is a good film that explains it amongst other things that are done to animals:
