Animal testing is an issue which many people take lightly. Although some research labs treat their animals with care, others force their animals to go through cruel and inhumane tests, and also they may be staying in tight enclosures which isolate them from the outside world.

Some tests performed on the animals include spraying chemicals in the animals eyes and injecting the animals with deadly diseases. These tests not only effect the animals physically, but also mentally. Some primates become self-mutilating, tearing at their body and inflicting severe wounds upon themselves.

Animal testing is a practice which many companies do. If you wish to do something about animal testing, you can start by purchasing products that aren’t tested on animals. You can find out whether or not they are by reading the label on the product or calling the company who makes it.
