Oldest and cruelest test in the books

  

LETHAL DOSE IS DETERMINED BY KILLING ANIMALS! 

OUTDATED & UNRELIABLE!

Lethal animal poisoning tests, devised back in 1927, have become government requirements for pesticides, chemicals, drugs and other products in many countries around the world. These cruel tests involve forcibly dosing animals by mouth, skin, inhalation or other routes until animals are dead or dying. This results in extreme suffering for untold thousands of rats, mice, rabbits, fish, birds and other animals each year. Science has come a long way in the past century and it’s time regulations caught up. Urge government decision-makers in major chemical manufacturing economies to replace outdated animal tests with modern, non-animal science. Take Action Lethal dose tests are among the most inhumane and least reliable procedures still in use, while available non-animal methods are faster, more efficient and provide equivalent protection to human health and environmental safety. Humane World for Animals is on the ground in Brazil, Canada, Europe, India, South Korea and the United States, working to reform regulations and replace lethal dose tests with non-animal methods.
