BUAV TV: The Ugly Truth About Botox (testing on mice)

[Ps3CellDweller13]

thumbs up if u saw rattatuli

[Swissfigher5]

Damn

[yomamasapeach]

I want to see these stupid people who think that animal testing is awful. These mice are able to populate so quickly, it isn't harmful to their species. As for doing on primates is wrong. These mice forget so quickly, they barely have potential to think. Imagine if we didn't test on these mice, some remarkable cures would never have been discovered. Millions of human beings, children/women/men all dying from diseases which could have been prevented by animal testing.

[nixieeblossom]

i agree on the cures for cancer or for medicines etc, but doing this so pathetic women can have shit injected in their face? Its sick. I hate animal cruelty all together. This video is no where near as bad to what i have seen on 'Peta' website =(

[yomamasapeach]

@nixieeblossom Yes, animals deserve their own rights in the respect that they are living beings. For example, torturing mice to see what happens to them is just wrong. There are definetely problems with mice populations growing in which we need to address. Also, makeup is used on monkeys. This is wrong because some die painfully from bad chemicals. The thing about botox is that its actually poison to your body, so it should never be in you.

[iceisisis]

why is it every were we go we have to kill to get there?

[manabeist]

I do not agree with cosmetical experiments, but I do when they do tests with new medicines and diseases

the people arguing that the mice were not writhing in pain when their backs were broken may be correct, it MAY be simply a neurlogical reaction and they MAY feel nothing. But on the other hand, my friend broke his back in 2 places during a climbing accident last year, and he really WAS writhing in agony (and has lived to tell people that the pain was almost incomprehsible, and he probably would have died in agony if the paramedics had not got to him in time)

Just a thought

[jm98460]

fucking sick

[happyfamilynow]

No more animal testing no more animal testing

[mozartfan14]

This is just sick!!!!! I am sorry but, we modern day humans call Hitler sick for what he did, this is worst than fucking Mengele!!!!!! Who the hell would inflict this pain upon fellow mammals for cosmetics!!! Medicines, maybe i agree, the use of this for medicines as a last resort! But for cosmetics!!!!!! I like others here, am shocked, and ashamed to call myself human, the most intelligent mammals on earth, yer right!!!! FUCKING SICK!!!!!

[CALixXPOKEMONXx]

thats funny that if they dont die they kill them 0_o

[Lobos222]

I wonder how many people commenting to save the mice would have called the exterminator if all these mice where living under their home. I rather they experiment on mice than find out stuff didnt work when some human child takes it. And its silly to say "only medical testing is okay for medicine" because most medical discoveries are accidental to the extent that rule would overlap. You think botox was invented to straiten out peoples faces or that it was accidentally discovered it could do that?

[lukebeevers93]

To test on animals for drugs for diseases is one thing but to test on them for the sake of a product for human vanity is morally indefensible. What must be remembered is that this is not an isolated incident. Hundreds of thousands of animals are killed in laboratory experiments in this country every year just for cosmetics. The ban on cosmetic testing on animals by 2013 is unlikely to happen now. Let's assure that a new ban can be agreed so animals like these no longer have to suffer for humans.

[shaynieaero]

The pain and agony felt by the mice is horrific!To do these 'tests'

is barbaric!And so CRUEL!

[hunterman11111]

the mouse that that lady killed wasnt "in pain" it was twitching because its nerves were kicking in. humans are stupid for kiling mice for botox and cosmedics yes but when they text mice for things like... medicine for cancer and stuff like that its good and i thank the mice who die for that because they are helping us.

[sierraxr4icosie]

lol

[2manylost]

Humans have the cheek to call mice vermin... the only vermin I see are the humans who are doing this.

I' m a 41 year old woman who cares about my appearance for the most part, but I will NEVER put that stuff in my face... how would I sleep at night knowing these creatures would have died in agony for a smooth unnatural looking forehead.

Society is becoming greedy, selfish & lazy & it needs to change for the good of all life forms...

[PlanetZhooZhoo]

I used to co-ordinate patients who had received Dysport for torticollis, etc, as they could make antibodies to it and it became ineffective. I was invited to visit Wickham Laboratories and the animal cruelty aspect prompted me to act. I contacted the Dr Hadwen Trust who put me in touch with a scientist in Germany who HAS developed a brilliant alternative cruelty-free test, only the UK Government refuses to licence an in vitro test, so it's their fault this happens!

[yeRUNESCAPEwoo]

Gas chambers for mice, haha classic (:

[NolitaDenise]

Botox being a treatment for some disorders(none life threatening that I know of) is insignificant in the argument for testing because we all know that the real money is in the cosmetic area of use.

People who think poison and murder are beautiful are normally regarded as sociopaths.

Even non-animal activists should see that this video shows a depraved indifference to life(need it be human?), pain, and suffering.

Pretty?  Nope. Pretty ugly? Yep.

[schnee78]

It was exactly the reason I stopped using Botox for my little wrinkles on the outer corners of my eyes. I had to switch to hyaluronic acid, which doesn´t have the same effects as Botox unfortunately.

[superilala]

@schnee78 You should quit injecting stuff in your face.

[VlOREL]

omg omg omg fucking assholes!!! gas chambers for mice??? breaking their neck??? humans are the lowest beigns on earth, i'm ashamed i'm a human.

[zestyguy87]

I couldnt agree with you more! These videos make me sick to my stomach. I never knew we had such evil on this planet.

[smilealotz1]

@VlOREL then go be a mice and let them kill you = )

[ColemanHunter]

Yeah hey ... just watched the entire movie here: my movie kiosk . com

[Mercedeslga]

Great! I saw this in fullscreen at ***

[BodyPhases]

Easily Tripped : Mice are living creatures. That's EXACTLY what they have to do with us. I think it's pretty clear they were expressing their pain. I understand sometimes it's necessary but I hope there will be a day when animal testing is unheard of. A little compassion ?

[CliveKoopa]

@BodyPhases You don't have to hope. It will happen in the near future and that's a promise. Animal testing will be history in the near future.

[schnee78]

@CliveKoopa, I really hope this will happen.

[laulz88]

mice actually have around 90% identicle cell structure and DNA. just because they dont look like us doesnt mean they are completely different. and the neck breaking or 'nexks' as u put it is a humane and quick way of killing the mice-its not torture. and FYI, botox has been found to have some great uses in medicine, its just a coincidence that tarts are using it for their forheads. and I bet no one complains about the poor little animals when they take a parectamol for a poxy headache do they???

[hardatwork1000]

mbltardif, unfortunately every company that produces any medical drug must go through the same rigorous testing and this includes testing on animals. It would be great if it could be done once but each drug company has their own strain of toxin, own concentration of the toxin and their own product compositions that require testing so its not quite as easy as doing one test.

[mlbtardif]

You thinking that.. worries me a lot.

[mlbtardif]

suytek... you're informed?!

[mlbtardif]

shame on you hardatwork, megascoti, suytek. If it's unavoidable, why not share their research? Do it once & make the findings available instead of every single company running these same tests This is not about food, or life saving measures, it's about wanting an advantage and not sharing data. It isn't right. Look into your dog's eyes & imagine that torture netted out to him&countless other innocents because of one co. trying to make it to market before another. have a heart. be human.

[suetyk]

And every year, 140 billion animals are killed for food.

It really worries me that partially informed people are able to inject such irrational fear into the general public. Get some perspective people!

[MegaScoti]

Why you guys do not go to the Goverment to make them search for alternatives? This test areLEGAL and they will be carried on.. and for me that mice is moving not becouse of broken back but of neurological processes still going on (same like decapitated chicken can still run). AND ITS NOT TRUE U CAN REPLACE THESE TEST WITH OTHERS-u simply can not- otherwise aminal testing would be gone forever

And for Gods sake-WHY it it is about wrinkles all time!u knowits not only wrinkles-looks goodINpaper?

[Freebird230773]

how would they like their friggin' nexks broke. these people who cause animals suffering just so that some brainless tart of a wag can look good should be made to suffer themselves. I know they are mice but no one has the right to inflict such pain on another creature.

Freebird

[hardatwork1000]

Strangely enough it is illegal to test cosmetics on animals. You must realise that things like 'botox' have medical uses such as treatments for excessive sweating, bladder problems eg incontinence, helping with muscle spasms after a stroke and pain relief for people who have suffered spinal cord damage. I agree it should never be tested on animals for some bimbo to improve their looks but to test it to ensure its safe for people suffering debilitating diseases is a genuine and controlled test.

[hardatwork1000]

8 months undercover and all that you have is 5 minutes of video? This video gives a false view of what happens in testing laboratories. If it wasnt for animal testing, none of us would be here today. Would you take a drug that has not been thoroughly tested in a chance you would die or would you prefer it had been tested? A few mice give their lives to save ours. Long live animal research.

[EasilyTripped]

I gotta ask you..how are ice anything to do with us? We have different DNA, stupid dick.

I would actually take my chances because UNLIKE animals, I can express my pains and get help.

Tiere für Antifaltenspritze zu Tode gequält -

Undercover-Aufnahmen zeigen erstmals das Leid der Botox-Mäuse

Heimlich in einem britischen Tierversuchslabor gemachte Filmaufnahmen bringen erstmals ans Licht der Öffentlichkeit, wie Mäuse für Botox-Produkte zu Tode gequält werden.

[fuerTiere]

In Deutschland führt das Hamburger Labor für Pharmakologie und Toxikologie LPT im Auftrag der Firma Merz gleichartige Tierversuche durch. Der bundesweite Verein Ärzte gegen Tierversuche fordert den Einsatz tierversuchsfreier Testmethoden anstelle des Mäusetests.

Die britische Tierversuchsgegnerorganisation BUAV führte im Tierversuchslabor Wickham Laboratories, Hampshire, eine Undercover-Recherche durch.

[fuerTiere]

Die zwischen Februar und Oktober 2009 heimlich gemachten Aufnahmen dokumentieren, wie Mäuse sich im Todeskampf winden. Den Tieren wurde das Botulinumtoxin Dysport® in die Bauchhöhle injiziert. Das Präparat ist für die Behandlung verschiedener Nerven- und Muskelkrankheiten zugelassen, wird aber großenteils »off-label« für die Gesichtsfaltenglättung verwendet.

[fuerTiere]

Jede Produktionseinheit des als »Botox« bekannten Nervengifts Botulinumtoxin wird an Mäusen getestet. »Rund 74.000 Mäuse müssen pro Jahr in dem britischen Labor für die Antifaltenspritze leiden und sterben«, weiß Dr. med. vet. Corina Gericke, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin von Ärzte gegen Tierversuche. »In Deutschland waren es im letzten Jahr 34.000 Mäuse. Tendenz steigend.«

[fuerTiere]

Im Hamburger Labor LPT wird das Botulinumtoxinprodukt Xeomin® der Frankfurter Firma Merz an Tieren getestet. »Weltweit müssen mindestens 300.000 Mäuse jedes Jahr für Botox-Produkte einen qualvollen Erstickungstod erleiden«, so die Tierärztin weiter.

Die verdeckt gemachten Aufnahmen zeigen Mäuse mit Lähmungen und Atemnot. Anderen Mäusen wird mit einem Kugelschreiber das Genick gebrochen oder sie werden vergast.

bastards

[mythoughtsalone]

It may be used for medical purposes, but it NEVER CURES, it simple hides the symptom, The Government, can always control what is happening, if it did not want this to happen, it would not. The problem is Money/pharma and vanity and the man in the street does not know what is going on they have no idea of the animal experiments, and they will not be told on national news, or media

[RijenRijen]

[KJ35779]

i have 2 wonderful Pet Rats!! this is so sick people never see the beauty in them but I do they are such smart loving pets. THIS IS SICKENING!!!

[irishveganboy]

Animal experiments suck! Thank you BUAV from Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN) in Ireland.

[chaplinbage]

oh and it is used for so many other medical things such as cerebal palsey for one dont assume that it is purely for sticking in peoples faces, otherwise it wouldnt even be tested! if you dont know someone with a serious medical problem try educating yourselfs before passing judgement

[chaplinbage]

. dont be so quick to assume that there are other choices and the government chooses to ignore it, it probably costs far more to prosicute and serve jail time to domestic terrorist then it would to use other methods. maybe when you are dying in your hospital bed because you refuse medical treatment, at least you can hold your head up high and say "i stuck to my beliefs"

[antisse1]

unbelievable how cruel the human being becomes.. all for the money.. how is it possible these laboratories still can influence people to become murderers..

[Ronaybarkaychamone]

You've gotta be one sick person to do this to animals.

Why not test this crap on stupid humans instead?

I'm sure there's plenty who'd volunteer for a can of cider.

[sim0b]

Spot on mate. I hope those people killing them mice go to hell. sick bastards eh
