Animal Abuse April 26 2012

Introduction
Animal abuse is a topic that is usually forgotten about. Many of you know that when I say that animal abuse is a good think. Animals are animals they are not like humans so it doesn’t matter.

Each year millions of animals are killed in laboratories. Even though nowadays there is no need for animals to be tested on because there are other sources like cell cultures, corneal and skin tissue cultures, corneas from eye banks, and computer and mathematical models. Still companies continue using animals as test subject. Rabbits are being tested to see how much poison an animal can withstand. They do test like injecting poison into their stomachs and see how much it takes for them to die. Rats are the most common test subjects in laboratories because they respond well to these tests.

Pets
Each year millions of animals are killed in shelters. They are put to death because they are unhealthy, uncared for and unwanted. Many pet owners buy dogs and sell them to puppy mills. They are put in cages that are in horrible condition and are
