“Vivisection” literally means “cutting while still alive” but today it refers to any harmful experiments or tests performed on animals.

-Millions of animals are tested on each day for trivial household and beauty products.

-In medical experimentation, most tests are unsuccessful.

-Europe banned testing on apes, however the US has yet to act.

· About 40 million animals are used for fur every year.

· In many cases, the animals are skinned alive because is it less expensive than killing them humanely first.

· An undercover investigation by the US Humane Society revealed that dog and cat fur is a multimillion-dollar industry in Asia and found that coats and toys made with domestic dog fur are being sold in the U.S. “If the imported item costs less than $150, the importer doesn’t even have to reveal what it’s made of.” New legislation outlawed the import or sale of clothing containing dog or cat fur, but the fur still enters the country illegally since it is intentionally mislabeled and can only be detected by expensive DNA testing

This includes animal fighting such as bullfighting and dog fighting, racing, rodeos, circus’s, zoo’s and television.

· Chickens’ beaks are sliced off before hundreds are tossed into cramped trucks for transportation.

· Most slaughterhouses function as a factory, treating the livestock unethically.

· The recourses used in meat production (feed for animals, gas, land) could instead be allocated to deficient areas.

There are more than 1,000 animal species endangered worldwide because of habitat destruction, overexploitation, introduction of exotic species, pollution, etc.
