With your support, we won't stop until cruel animal testing is banned--once and for all. Become a Lab Animal Defender today >> Trouble with links or images? View this message online. October 29, 2012 Dear Emmanouil,
It's a sad fact that, even in the 21st century, companies around the world that manufacture cosmetics, pesticides and other products are still killing animals by the millions in cruel and often unreliable toxicity tests. In university research labs the number of animals used is even higher, and this research very often paid for with our tax dollars. But you can help make a difference. 
Here's how: Join Humane Society International's Lab Animal Defender monthly giving program and help protect vulnerable and voiceless animals in laboratories.
Your monthly gift today will support our efforts to promote humane science by increasing funding for animal-free health research and by pressing governments and companies to recognize the validity of modern non-animal methods in safety testing. From Europe to Brazil, Canada, India and beyond, HSI is leading the charge to end animal testing and our efforts have saved millions of animals.
Here's what happens to animals in testing labs:
While strapped down, chemicals are dripped into the eyes of rabbits to observe the reaction, from mild irritation to irreversible tissue damage. While humans produce tears to soothe irritation, rabbits don't, so they have no way to stop the pain. Rats are squeezed into full-body restraint tubes for hours and forced to breathe sickening concentrations of test chemicals to determine the dose that kills 50 percent of the animals. Death in the lab for animals who don't succumb to chemical poisoning can come by means of carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck-breaking, decapitation using custom-made guillotines, or other equally horrifying ways. The suffering these animals endure is agonizing -- and unacceptable. That's why we urgently need your support.
