Draize Eye Irritancy Test: The Draize Eye Irritancy Test is designed to show whether chemicals, especially those used on the face, hands and other parts of the body, can damage the eyes. It involves slicing off the eyelids and protective layer of the eyes, placing chemicals which may be irritants to the eyes, such as Clorox, Ammonia, hair spray and anti-blemish cremes, etc. on the surface of the eyes of restrained animals, particularly rabbits. Any irritation the chemicals cause is assessed from tears, redness or swelling.
In the Draize test for skin irritancy, the test substances are applied to shaved and abraded skin. (Skin is abraded by firmly pressing adhesive tape onto the animal's body and quickly stripping it off The process is repeated until several layers of skin have been exposed.) During the test period, which usually lasts at least several days, the animals can suffer extreme pain. The eye irritancy test compounds often cause irreparable damage to the animals' eyes, leaving them ulcerated and bleeding. At the end of the test period, all of the animals are killed in order to determine the effects of the tested substances on internal organs.
LD50 Test: LD50 means "lethal dose 50 percent." This test estimates the dosage of a substance needed to kill 50% of a group of rats or other test animals. In this test, groups of animals are given doses of a particular chemical agent, such as a household product, to find out the amount needed to kill half of the animal subjects. The substance is forcibly ingested, inhaled or otherwise exposed to an animal. During the 14 day test period, the animals typically suffer acute distress - pain, convulsions, discharge, diarrhea and bleeding from the eyes and mouth. At the end of the test period, those animals who have not already died are killed.
Paxil: According to The Pill Book, a new and revised 7th edition, page 855-856 on the drug Paxil, a common anti-depressant used in this country, there is a test done in labs where tested animals are forced to ingest 10 to 20 times the maximum human dosage. It revealed an increase in certain liver tumers and reduced fertility. They openly admit that the importance of this test and its results are unknown. (See, this is what I mean when I say that these people have so much money, they don't know what to do with it all. If you don't know why you're doing it, why do it?? They're just wasting money to look like they're doing something useful. If that doesn't piss you off, I don't know what will.)
(Exerpt from Navs) This is the home of USAMRID {"you Sam Rid"}--the US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases. Here, for over three decades, the military has been nurturing human slate-wipers. A Pandora's box of Andromeda Strains-- lethal, highly transmissible, incurable viruses generally not found in the Western hemisphere. The cream of biological warfare agents: Tick-borne enchephalitis, Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Ebola, Machupo, Dengue Fever. These vicious pathogens reside in frozen blood serum and cell tissue sealed away in "hot suites" that can only be entered wearing a full body, helmeted space suit tethered to an oxygen coil, and triple layered surgical gloves.
Many of these "hot agents" make AIDS look like nothing more than the common cold. Blighted victims (test subject animals) hemorrhage internally. Their organs, eyeballs, eyelids and nipples bleed. They vomit black fluid, become paralyzed, psychotic, go into terminal shock. Animal tests of these viruses, generally conducted on primates, are one way tickets. Within 24 hours after death, the meltdown of flesh, bone and organs reduces the monkey's body to the consistency of soup.
This article really disturbed me. But at least they caught the "doctor" abusing those poor animals. The only poinient part is the section marked, "The Evidence", which should speak for itself. If you read this, make no mistake that the apathy he feels for the animals, his victims, isn't uncommon in vivisectors. The big bosses who are in charge of these monsterous projects like to pretend that they're "humane" by issuing a small amount of anaestetic every once in a while, assuming the surgeons use it...what I'd like to know is why the doctor was heating up the abdomens of animals for? Seriously, what good will come of that? And WTF is an 89 year old man still practicing medicine for if he has eye and memory deficiencies?? Am I the only one that sees huge problems with this?
I see you backwater mouthbreathers need to be eju-mi-cated onthe reality of
Vivisection, and why the A.L.F. have to do what they do.
Allow me to simplify the next paragraph for you inbred morons:
ANIMALS ARE
NOT HUMANS. Hence forth, that which works on animals will NOT work on
humans. i.e. Pigs can ingest large quantities of arcenic, rabbits can eat
stricnyne, etc, etc...therefore, many many products have been recalled in
the past because doctors found out that they caused serious health problems
in humans, even death. A fact that the A.L.F. already knew.
Those who tell
you that this kind of medical research does wonders for science are dead wrong.
Science as come a long way *dispite* vivisection, not because of it. The
progress seen from this false form of science has been minimal, more so than
people are aware of. Practitioners of this inhuman act will blurt out
statistics and other jargon, but the fact remains that the only reason they
still do it, is because it lines their pockets with blood money. Animals are
exempt from human laws. They are cannon-fodder-- expendible. Worthless.
Anything to further the human race, you say? If you feel so strongly about
it, why don't you do humanity a favor and sign up to be a labrat yourself.
Then you can see first hand what these poor animals go through. The only
difference would be, ripping out your spinal cord and making you walk a
treadmill, planting a battery in your brain, or seeing how much toothpaste
you could take being shoved down your throat before you die would actually
be considered illegal. Or perhaps you care to learn the truth another way?
I'll bet you didn't know that 9 out of 10 animals (either strays or pets who
escaped from home) end up in labs. I'll even put money down that if poopsy
the cat, or fido the puppy ran out the door one day, and ended up in a lab
somewhere with several yards of skin missing and one eye so the doctors
could test out their new and *improved* no-more-tears formula,and an A.L.F.
member rescued it and brought it back alive, you'd be counting your lucky
stars they exsist.
