Peta and the creative truth! Animal Testing explained

Debunking Peta's mistruths about Oregon's animal testing facility.

USDA cleared Oregon of any mistreatment. It's facilities put animal welfare as a highest priority.

When did this happen? not the date when it was posted, but when this actually happened? If anyone knows plz tell me, because im writing a paper on this and it needs to be descriptive, thanks!

@kikakleedermbokajaja Off the top of my head this was a 2008 infiltration by Peta

@speakingofresearch This is only the primates. Your not showing the poor cats,kittens,puppies,dogs,rabb­its,goats,mice,hamsters,rats, and hundreds of other species that have and are still suffering and dead in horrible conditions. Humans like you and the other monsters who defend this don't care about anybody else but their own kind. One cat got electrodes implanted into his brain. Other animals get injections that make them die slowly and painfully. After most testings, animals are killed.

@NebulousGummyBear This video shows some of mistruths spread by PETA - it was not meant to be a video showing all conditions of all animals otherwise it'd be hours long. Animal welfare standards in labs is some of the highest in the world (in the US) and adheres to the principles of reduction, refinement and replacement.

"In 1922, outraged scientists spoke out against the animal experiments that many were claiming had proven the existence of insulin:

"The production of insulin originated in a wrongly conceived, wrongly conducted, and wrongly interpreted series of [animal] experiments."Roberts, F.in BMJ1922, p1194

They pointed out that human autopsy had in fact shown the pancreas to be the vital organ in diabetes, and that in vitro research had isolated insulin - not animal experiments." disease=profit

Read up on Speaking of Research's website (the alternatives section) on the flaws in believing we can completely replace animal research because we currently cannot

@ConscienCEous If something is wrong 92% of the time it is not worthless (which could be described as neutral), it is counterproductive. Something which is wrong 50% of the time would be worthless. Animal 'tests' are much worse than that. "90% of our work is done for legal and not for scientific reasons" and "The best guess for the correlation of adverse reactions between human and animal toxicity data is somewhere between 5% and 25%" Dr Ralph Haywood, frmr scientific director of HLS dlrm . org

@Lisamarie1968 not all primate research is aimed to "torture" these monkeys as you so elegantly put it. For all we know they could be waiting to run on the treadmill (I hear they love it).

[mcleric76]

Great video! I was skeptical when I saw the PETA video as OHSU's primate facility is highly renowned

[mcleric76]

@NebulousGummyBear I kill my animals before I test them :)

[xXNastkaXx]

Either way you look at it, their in a cage. Wild animals in a cage, that says enough.

[Haarez1]

@plustheMIC There's a water throttle valve on the back of each cage, where monkeys can drink ad lib from. It is true that in some cases water restriction is necessary, but the state of the animal is carefully monitored to make sure he/she doesn't loose weight or become too dehydrated.

[plustheMIC]

Why don't any of the monkeys have fresh water to drink in these clips? Oh wait that's because it is common practice to withhold water and food in order force the animals to comply with experiments. Lol, you guys are so "humane".

[Lisamarie1968]

Oh PLEASE! Do you really think being stuck in a cage waiting to be tortured is "natural behavior"?? Those monkies are neither happy/content nor "ok" with being imprisoned and put through abuse. They look as miserable to me as I would be if I were stuck in a cage not knowing what was going to happen to me next--why don't you leave the animals ALONE and go test on YOURSELVES, sick bastards!!

@SuperKare123 Those are products tha are pretty safe, its not like some makeup is going to hurt an animal.

@redrosary

Well, science cannot prove a human is more important than a cockroach, so I don't see how you can call them mentally ill for that. Questions of human/animal worth are philosophical, not scientific.
