PETA presents – Animal Testing 1,2,3

中文版

From the toothpaste and shampoo that we use to the charities that we support, our lives are full of daily opportunities to take a stand against cruel experiments on animals. We can save animals from painful experiments by purchasing some of the cruelty-free products that are available in stores everywhere, and only donating to humane charities that help people without hurting animals.

Many people are surprised to learn that some cosmetics, personal care products, foods and beverages and household cleaning products are still tested on animals, or that their local university or hospital torment animals in cruel experiments.Although modern alternative test methods exist, huge multiproduct manufacturers, including Unilever, Clorox, Church & Dwight, Johnson & Johnson, and others, continue to poison and harm animals in tests that aren’t even required by law.Rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other animals are forced to swallow or inhale massive quantities of a test substance or endure the pain of having caustic chemicals applied to their sensitive eyes and skin––even though the results of animal tests are often unreliable or not applicable to humans. Even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be marketed to you.

Luckily, the non-animal tests available today are cheaper, faster, and more accurate at predicting human reactions to a product than the old animal tests ever were. More and more companies are switching to non-animal tests as consumer support for cruelty-free products grows.

The best way to stop companies, universities and charities from using animals is to refuse to purchase their products or give them donations and to write and tell them that you won’t support them until they stop testing on animals.

You can also find out which of your favorite products are cruelty-free by ordering our free Cruelty-Free Shopping Guide and searching our online database of companies that do and don’t test on animals. You can see which charities conduct humane research at HumaneSeal.org.

 
善待动物组织（PETA）出品——动物试验品1,2,3

从使用的牙膏、洗发水到支持的公益性活动和组织，我们在日常生活中随处可以发现机会，表明立场：我们反对用动物做实验这种残忍的行为。我们可以购买“零残忍”的产品，这些生产过程中不伤害动物的产品在各大商场都能买到；或者我们可以只捐款给帮助人们而不伤害动物的人道慈善机构捐款，这样，我们可以拯救作为活体试验品饱受痛苦的动物朋友们。

在生产化妆品、个人洗护用品、食品饮料和家居清洁用品的过程中，依然存在用动物做活体实验的现象，甚至当地的医院和大学实验室也依然用残忍的实验折磨着动物们，这是让人难以置信的现象。即便是现如今有其他可选择的“零残忍”实验手段，像联合利华、高乐氏、切迟杜威、强生等一些大型生产厂商依然不顾法律约束，在实验室里荼毒和伤害动物。大鼠、小白鼠、天竺鼠、小兔子和其他被当做试验品的动物不得不被强制吞下或吸入大量的受试物质，还要忍受化学物品对他们敏感的皮肤和眼睛造成的难以想象的腐蚀性的痛苦。即便是这样，实验所得出的结论时常并不可信，有时甚至完全不适用于人体。然而，即使有时一种产品会导致动物失明，厂商依然会将它推向市场。

值得庆幸的是，现在我们可以完全可以选择无动物试验来测试人体对某种产品的反应，而且这种方式比传统的活体动物实验更加省时、省钱，效果也更加准确。随着消费者对“零残忍”产品的呼声越来越大，越来越多的公司也开始转向采不取伤害动物的实验方法。

解决公司、学校、公益组织虐待动物作为活体实验最有效的方法就是拒绝购买他们的产品或捐款给这些机构，并且通过写信或其他方式告诉他们，只要他们不停止这种残忍的行为，我们就不会支持他们。
