The TRUTH about animal experimentation!

Shocking footage of animal testing taken straight from the lab. Our days of ignorance is over! Look at what medicine and psychology are doing in their labs right now.

After you have watched this video:

[cont 5] Still, a lot of this is also money saving for the government, and that means the tax payer which is not really bad, it's about priority Rats and mice are not even considered ANIMALS in the US for animal welfare protection. All these experiments we do show they are as intelligent as dogs and importantly, can suffer like cats or dogs. They just don't live for very long in comparison. While people are busting dogs out of labs, people are laying down mice traps and rat poison

[cont 4]What would be better is a burrow type environment as that's how rats naturally live. Problem with that is animal techs need to look after hundreds of rats in an animal housing facility and they must check the health several times per week. If they're all in burrows, it's hard. And we use animals because we can control their breeding and environment so there is less variation between them. So all the environments need to be the same. [cont]

[cont 3] Rats prefer dark over light so 'no natural light' is not really a problem. They are actually scared of bright light naturally. Rats are social animals so they MUST be kept with other rats. Actually, it is cruel to keep them alone (unless there is a good reason) but still, many pet owners do it. I do agree that the cages are crap. We've put rats in big open enclosures, but they just stick to the corner and hiding spots as they don't like open spaces. [cont]

[cont 2]This particular experiment looked at how administering the hormone oxytocin in different ways can reduce anxiety behaviour. This was done a while ago as oxytocin nasal sprays in humans are being studied at the moment. After, the rats were put back into their homecages. But often, they are killed (anesthesia overdose) so their brains are examined.

Now I'm not sure if you really care about rats or just want to pick a fight on youtube because you don't seem to get rats [con]

That is correct, rats don't know they will be out in 10 minutes. It is not a 'weird run', it is the elevated plus maze (EPM). It's one behavioural test for anxiety. Rats feel safe in enclosed spaces and are scared of open spaces naturally because they are prey animals. The more anxious, the more time it spends in the inclosed arms. We can use this test to objectivly measure anxiety behaviour in rats and mice. Feel free to google it for more info. [cont]

@nervousneuron

10 minutes. They're no good at rationally thinking. 10 minutes struggling in a weird run is not nice, at all. and then what happens to it?

How do they not treat it like shit? is it kept in a little cage with lots of other rats and no natural light? probably...

What is the test proving anyway out of interest?

[nervousneuron]

@SuperfluousRaversX

For ages? 10 mins. No, scientists do not 'treat it like shit', unless you believe all animals have rights, then yes, we are holding the rats in captivity, just like what happens with pet rats. I'm assuming you're vegan?

[SuperfluousRaversX]

and personally, i think this is disgusting. that poor animal is running around in that tiny run for ages whilst scientists treat it like shit and probably just kill it after, when it could be free with a family doing what it is supposed to. not like it gets payed in any way... And to be honest, it doesn't to me look like they are doing this test for a crucial piece of scientific evidence. You're just ignorant. What are you like, 5? Having fun going against people who care? big and clever you...

this video is pathetic
