Millions of animals such as mice, rabbits, cats, dogs are locked in cages suffering from frustration and pain.
More than 100 million animals die every year in a cruel chemical, drug, food, and cosmetic test. An example of animal testing includes forcing mice and rats to inhale toxic fumes and force-feeding dogs pesticides. Even if a product harms animals it can be still marketed to consumers.
