Cat Torture in US Laboratories

[CSIblonde]

Hi felow cat lovers, if you can spare 2mins, please look up Kitten Lady on You Tube who rescues hundreds of kittens every year in the US.. She is trying to shut down a US Lab that snaps cats spines & mutilates their rectums to research constipation drugs. She's already succeeded in shutting another similar lab down . The website re this lab is catstipation.org (very upsetting pictures warning). Or you can look her up on YouTube & sign the petition on the link there. ( Phone issues , can't show link). Thank you for caring.

Thanks for sharing, OP. Truly sickening. My DH works periodically in the local university research center and the amount of animals they hold for testing is shocking. I admit I was very naive by how much much testing is done on animals :(

How bloody awful. I can't click because the description is too upsetting. So many cats so mistreated around the world. I hope there will come a time when these experiments will be regarded as abhorrent. There must be an alternative.

I can’t look at the upsetting images but will sign the petition.

Link here for those who want to sign:

How do you sign from the uk?

I wondered the same as Each.
The torture of animals in laboratories is awful. It is an ethical dilemma I have that my cat has been vaccinated/medicated but other cats have suffered to ensure the safety and efficiency of these drugs whilst being anti animal testing. Same as human medicines really.

@eachandeveryone. I signed on a link from under her You Tube video that was for UK users. The You Tube episode with the UK petition link comes up if you search her name & catstipation.org. Warning, she's crying while describing it & the pictures made me cry too .

Thank you causingchaos. I've honestly not been able to get the pictures out if my mind. The US is horrifically behind us in animal welfare. A 1page form & $50 means you can keep also keep a tiger, drugged, in a tiny cage, in 'Roadside Petting Zoos' there.

Why on earth do they need to snap their spines and mutilate their rectums in order to test the drugs? It's beyond horrific, those poor, poor animals. I will sign the petition.

@wannaflyaway, Exactly. Thank you so much for signing. It's lovely people here care & are helping. ♥️

It goes on here too, all the big main brands of household cleaning products test on animals but the own brand ones don’t test.

People just don’t seem to care.

@fluffycloud I didn't know own brand don't test. I usually buy it anyways as a friend who worked at Tesco told me their own brand stuff is made by same company as branded. (& Supermarket knickers are made by same people who make M&S knickers etc). I know Unilever animal test & they make everything ...

Proctor and gamble too. Method and ecover now owned by a parent company who tests.

Sains, astonish, Waitrose, co-op, Aldi are all buav approved on own brand, the others aren’t testing. Kirkland at Costco are safe too.

Thanks @fluffycloudland77, really useful to know.

I mean the other supermarket own brands aren’t testing on animals they just aren’t applying for buav accreditation because you have to pay for it.

A lot of brand name cosmetics/toiletries are tested for the Chinese market too. Dermalogica are one of the few not looking the other way so they can rake in the yen’s.
