13 Eye-Opening Images of Animals in Labs
The pain that animals face every day for product testing, crude curiosity-driven experiments, and deadly medical training exercises are completely horrifying and indefensible. Animals are not disposable laboratory tools, they are individuals just like us who want to be free and don't want to be forced to endure lives of pain and terror. Take a look at the faces of animal testing and see why we should end experimentation on animals.
Rats and Mice
Rats and mice are not even considered animals under the federal Animal Welfare Act, even though they make up approximately 95 percent of the animals suffering in labs.
Dogs and Cats
Animals, like this beagle, endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of workers at the North Carolina facility PLRS before a PETA undercover investigation prompted felony cruelty charges to be brought against employees at the facility, which closed its doors shortly after our footage was released.
In a crude experiment at the University of Utah, this cat, named Robert, had an electrode implanted into his brain.
Goats and Pigs
The US Department of Defense uses goats, pigs, and other animals for military training exercises, including some that involve live animals being hacked to pieces with tree trimmers.
Monkeys and Primates
These two young chimpanzees were confined at SEMA, a notoriously cruel Maryland laboratory that PETA helped expose a quarter-century ago. Sadly, chimpanzees still suffer in cruel laboratory experiments at other laboratories.
Britches was torn away from his mother shortly after birth, had his eyes sewn shut by experimenters at the University of California–Riverside, and was left alone in a steel cage with a sonar device strapped to his head.
Animal experimenters at the National Institutes of Health continue to perform pointless experiments on baby monkeys wherein the young are separated from their mothers and intentionally frightened.
Monkeys and cats are sometimes confined to restraint chairs during invasive neurological tests, like this one, who is shown at the Weizmann Institute in Israel.
These terrified monkeys are being prepped to have experimental chemicals forced up their noses by employees at Covance, a private laboratory that other companies pay to conduct tests on animals.
These monkeys are a few of the thousands of monkeys imprisoned at the Oregon National Primate Research Center, which was the subject of a PETA undercover investigation.
This rabbit had chemicals dripped into her eyes and rubbed on her bare skin in cruel product tests at a Biosearch laboratory.
Always check for PETA's bunny logo or search our cruelty-free database to find out which companies do and which don't test on animals.
YOU can help stop this cruelty. Take action to help end experimentation on animals TODAY!
Commenting is closed.
This totally breaks my heart. They are doing this to beings that give us unconditional love and this is how they get paid back!
This is terrible…I've always believed that researches and testings on animals is necessary & its okk if done by following proper ethical rules…but this made me think again…
This cruelty is so heartbreaking and senseless.
Oh grow up everyone! If we didn't experiment on animals like this how would we continue progress in the world! If we didn't use these animals how would we test medicine and surgeries to see if they would work? Should we use them on humans instead? So instead of complaining on how this is so cruel think for once. If we didn't test medicine on animals we wouldn't have antibiotics or vaccines. So just know that without this many of you would be dead! How would we treat cancer or any newly active diseases without testing them? So quit your whining and know that this is how the world needs to function!
When God created man it was to take care of His creation, definately not to afflict pain and suffering. We will all have to answer for our actions.
Just awful. Shame on you, laboratories!
Let me tell you what kind of people work at these labs.I dated a guy who worked at one.I knew he worked there,but I did'nt know they used animals for research!!This guy was one of the most uncaring people I've ever met-emotionally cruel,bi-polar,a bully,haughty,controlling,arrogant,who had been seeing a psychiatrist and threatened my life.He made the comment"Animals are beneath us.That's what they are here for(research),everyone at the school knows that!"This particular school is University of Louisville in Louisvile,Ky.They experiment on all kinds of animals.They have a big medical and dental research building there and I believe are expanding it.He told me about a batch of kittens "slated for death the next day" and of crocodiles there and the pigs he so boldly boasted of cutting up.He took me to his lab to show me pig eyeballs.One time I remember seeing all the big silver barred animal cages in a hallway.There were a lot!He told me he laughed when playing with brains.He was very cold and callous when mentioning these things.I was appalled and shocked.I'll never look at U of L the same again and you can imagine what I think of him.
Absolute shame. I'm speechless
Horrific cruelty…..it seems never ending. Tremendously distressing to look at even more to suffer it. Please print the names of companies who use these tests
How arrogant of we humans to think inflicting these horrors will advance our species.
We have to do something about this…This is so sad, and dissapointing that we allow this to go on…
Somebody should put some big bolts and screws in their head! And see if they have any brain activity going on! Doesn't seem like it. Also, a EKG test would be necessary, it doesn't seem like those people have a heart. I hate people that torture animals! Hopefully one day they will have to pay for that…
Why will anyone want to work in such a cruel environment :'(
Unbelievable…I don't understand what kind of people would want to work in an enviroment where you spend your day inflicting and torturing innocent animals. How can they live with themselves.How can they go home at the end of the day and face their families, and their pets, without feeling guilt and remorse.Can they not see,hear and feel the pain of these animals.I see only the photographs, and I could feel the pain of these tortured,frightened, souls.I was afraid to scroll down to see the next picture.By the second photograph,I was already crying.Half way,I was feeling sick.I thought any more and I'd get physically sick.I thought if these people that work at these lavatories….What excuse do they tell themselves so that they live with themselves?"In the name of sciece" isn't a good enough excuse to be able to sleep at nite.Animals are "furry children." No one has the rite to torture children.
Terrifying..stop this cruelty immediately
Pleases release the names of companies involved in this ..I will stop buying any of these companies and their supply chains as well. -
How can we stop this. How can we make people see that animal testing is unnecessary and most of all cruel. These people are depriving these animals their freedom.
How can we stop this and save these poor souls??????? How??
I am heartbroken. -
oh my god….. its so cruel….!!!! Human ll never understand the pain untill unless they go through it.
Come on people where are your hearths and love for others. Stop this cruelty, all what you do bad comes back to you, Think about hurting an animal or testing because you don't know how is coming back to you
peta & othets please NEVER stop ♡♥ What nsaddens me most, as the one pic stated…they've been fighting for decades…and it still happening. What is going to take?
ohh my god !! its so painful !! please let them live happily,you sick people !!1
This is so very wrong. we all of us need to make it stop.
Fanny I understand where your coming from however this abuse is disgusting!!!!! If we want to do these trials than use humans.. If I had terminal cancer I would trial something to benefit others and if that meant suffering or possible death, it's not like I'd have anything to loose and at least it would be my choice… I wouldn't want the cure if it was developed from torturing innocent animals.
OMG this is really heart breaking my heart goes out to these little creatures we need to stop this I wish there was some way in Hell we could help all these little babies…. Sometimes we wonder why god gave us brains to Misuse it in such HORRIBLE activites ….
Niemand auf der Welt hat das Recht einem Tier so etwas anzutun. Das ist bestialisch und unmenschlich. STOP THAT
Fanny… The answer to ur question, is to test it on urself, or, any volunteer who wants to be subjected to the cruelty, pain, &, sadistic experiments that these scientists endure on others! I sometimes believe that some scientists, just want to do experiments on whatever they can get their hands on just to keep their job! The other answer is to find a new job! One that protects, "Our Father Earth, &, Our Blessed Mother Nature!!!
PLEASE, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT. Use dead things to experiment. Stop torturing these defenseless animals. How can you sleep at night< you need mental help
This is so disgusting and sad. Humans are so f**ked up. I only wish one person could really change it all, and it's impossible to not contribute in one way or another. 99% of these stupid companies are tainted.
None of this is necessary!
times are difficult for many people…send one or two dollars to Peta if one thousand of us send that it will help Peta continue to expose this cruelty to animals
Nothing short of psychopathic. Call it what you like (research or whatever) but the truth is heinous crimes against non-human animals, a holocaust. Evil and a living hell for these poor beings.
It still comes down to one question..Can it suffer? Then do no harm…there really is no excuse or cause for this..any comment to the contrary…is a lie.
I work in cancer research and i agree this is horrible,but do we have an alternative?As of now none,the in vitro alternative mentioned above do not really work wen it comes to comparing the whole body research/effects…
And on a another note it would be interesting to know the ppl who consider this wrong but having animals on their plates is considered normal.Science atleast has some form and guidelines on ethics…
This is not normal. That human can do that to those poor animals! That's sick!!!!!!
This makes me sick to my stomach. I will never forget the images of these innocent and tortured souls. Sick.
I know what you all can do! STOP buying beauty products, chemicals and all the other products that are tested on animals. those test's are being done because you people keep on buying their stuff!
They are the slaves of our empire…Even the old romans believed they could control the slaves till spartacus teached them a lesson..Difference is here…these animals are helpless..They have no fair chance..and we as humans have no honor at all anymore. If my time has come , I have to accept it I dont want any drug even it will heal me, where a helpless one died in pain for it. It matters not if animal or human.
@Fanny, Check here for alternatives to animal testing: http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-experimentation/alternatives-to-animal-testing.aspx
Humans have to do better than this. We have to figure out a way to serve our commercial/vanity needs without causing suffering to fellow beings.
I am increasing appaled at the cruelty show by humans to animals. I cant donate at this time but really appreciate that you keep us informed
People are so cruel,the poor animals are in such pain. It brings tears to my eyes. Can someone stop this horrible torture? I hope & pray that it is stopped soon.
I cannot even believe that ppl are still doing this. I am disgusted and horrified. These ppl are despicable humans, and should be punished for doing this. Something needs to stop this, it is wrong on so many levels.
I am a scientist ( doing my pHD) working on cancer research. I am torn apart. Because, in some way, the products we're making must be tested prior to human administration. unless, someone volunteers.
But seeing this is unbelievable. But does someone have a solution? How can we test the drug we're making to improve human conditions? -
this is unreal talk about cruelity this is it STOP THIS THE POOR ANIMALS SHOULD NOT USED FOR THIS STOP STOP STOP
This must be forbidden in the USA.
Stop please….please
please stop that…
how un human…….. is this.
really so painful to see this sight.
all these animals should be saved…… and people who are doing this with these animals should be treated in same way they are doing with these poor animals

Narrow your search
If you like see what you're friends are shooting or want a way to share your photography skills, the Flickr app for iOS offers better browsing and new filters to make your photos pop.
Flickr's new social-focused layout and capable photo editing tools make this app a must-have for casual and serious photographers alike.
Even though Flickr's Camera Roll tool is currently in beta, it is fully functional and offers easier photo editing than before.
According to the Wall Street Journal, some photographers are upset the Yahoo-owned site is selling prints of photos they meant to give away for free.
The photo-sharing site apologizes for offering professional quality reprints of images uploaded for free use.
With photo-sharing sites and storage giants like Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox and Amazon, the once-dominant Flickr has lost its place. So what is Flickr now? Its chief says we'll know in about a year.
More than 2.6 million images from public domain e-books have been uploaded to Flickr as part of an Internet Archive project -- with 12 million more to come.
Yahoo updated its Flickr app for iOS and Android, and version 3.0 introduces an entirely different design and new features including video capture.
A new interactive map uses 10 years' worth of Flickr geo-location data to visualise the most popular places in the world for photos, creating a heat map based on geotags.
Looking to be transparent, the US government agency brings data-driven energy usage charts, which include everything from crude oil production to wind generation to gasoline prices, to the web.

CCM RBZ 100 Ice Hockey Skates Sr |
Was: $549.99
Free Shipping!
Lowest Price Guarantee
The CCM RBZ 100 Ice Hockey Skates offer an advanced level of performance at a lower price point than the flagship RBZ skates. CCM upgraded this RBZ 100 with a full carbon composite outsole that provides advanced stiffness and performance.
The CCM RBZ 100 ice skates utilize a handful of key features that are also found in the flagship RBZ to provide top notch quality and performance for advanced hockey players. The Action Form™ outer quarter shell and the SpeedCore foam core provide a supportive and stiff quarter package that helps a player get the most power out of every stride. Working with the quarter package, the upgraded carbon composite outsole adds a lot of responsiveness due to the stiff carbon fibers that were used. This type of construction also helps to keep the skate feeling very lightweight without sacrificing stability.
The interior was also upgraded in the RBZ 100 hockey skate, showcasing a full clarino liner instead of a microfiber or duratex. The clarino material is soft to the touch, offering good comfortability but more importantly it is much more efficient at wicking away moisture. This not only keeps a player's foot dry during the game but also extends the life of the skate by significantly decreasing drying time.
- Model Number: SK100
- Heritage: New
- Level of Play Guideline: Elite
- Fit Guidelines: General fit aspects of the CCM boot are medium-high volume, medium ankle area, wide across top of foot and forefoot and medium toe box.
- Sizing Guidelines: CCM skates generally fit 2 full sizes down from your regular shoe size.
- If you wore a 2012 or older CCM skate, you should choose a 1/2 size smaller 2013 CCM skate
- (i.e. 2012 CCM CL 8.0 = 2013 CCM RBZ 7.5)
- CCM RBZ skates fit about 1/4 size smaller than Reebok skates
- Quarter Package:
- Action Form™ composite shell
- Provides great stability for excellent energy transfer
- Fully heatmoldable for personalized fit
- Speed Core
- Supplies a pro level stiffness optimizing a player's reaction speed and explosiveness
- Liner:
- Full Clarino
- Very soft to the touch and is excellent at wicking away moisture
- Tongue Construction:
- Pro Two-Piece White Felt Tongue
- Traditional and comfortable feel
- Injected foams under the lace-bite protection
- Footbed:
- Standard CCM footbed for additional comfort
- Outsole:
- Carbon composite construction with air vents
- Top notch stiffness and responsiveness
- Air vents help push moisture out of the boot and keep a player's foot dry
- Blade Holder and Runner:
- Speed Blade 4.0 Holder with SpeedBlade Stainless Steel Runner
- Speed Blade Holder is 4 mm higher than previous CCM holders, allowing for one of the most aggressive turning radius in the game
- SpeedRibs utilize a triangular design that increases torsional resistance which in turn helps get the most speed and power possible out of the holder
- Weight of a Size 9D Skate:
- 861 grams
Comments: Had the RBZ's,didn't really like the stiffness of it,so I got these and they are amazing.At first my feet were a bit sore but when I got them out of the oven they were amazing,their were no aches at all and also the increased height in the blade holder makes a big ass difference I can even feel it.

"As an artist (whatever definition one applies to that term) the most difficult struggle is to not struggle - to simply create. So much 'music' is weighed down by theory and made by artists who's main aim is only to tell the listener all about their so called skills ? in the process they rarely tell us anything worth knowing beyond the technical. Gathering pace, the use of field recordings in music is subject to the same sad fate. However, somewhere between the endless stock of bland new age environmental recordings on the market and the plethora of releases showcasing artists who apply heavy, rough, unskilled hands to natural sounds, there are a few who's subtle, imaginative approach to field recording is creating music of lasting importance. Following the outstanding 'In Drawing' CD, Cherry Music have added another fine release to this small, select area. Having said that, I confess that I struggled with the intense, almost brutal deluge that emerges from the thunder storm of the first (18 minute) track on 'Fevrier'. The ferocity of sound seems designed to remind us of our inability to escape the power of nature. So, I suppose, Yannick has indeed succeeded in capturing the sound with its power intact. The 5 tracks on this CD are all based around field recordings. Some are obvious and some are more to do with the search for hidden sounds in our environment. Yannick is one of the few who can also apply various technical processes in order to 'compose' pieces from his recordings without the results sounding like electro-acoustic / phonographic garbage. The combination of his respectful skills when using natural sound and Cherry Music's high level approach to the quality of their releases makes 'Fevrier' a fine addition to it's catalogue."

It's appearance is human-like as it stand on its two hind feet, and is believed to be based on a "bunny girl". Despite that, it can also be a male. This has given Lopunny both positive and negative views, and in fandom, considered as a "feminine symbol" of Pokémon.
Lopunny appears to be a brown rabbit with yellowish-gold fluff hanging from its ears along with a tall body. Along with that, yellowish-gold fluff are on its arms covering it along with their bottom part of their legs and their entire feet. They also appear to have red eyes with black white coatings.
Special Abilities
Lopunny has the abilities Cute Charm and Klutz along with the hidden ability Limber. Cute Charm may make the opponent's Pokémon with an opposite gender fall in love with Lopunny while Klutz prevents Lopunny from using items. Limber prevents Lopunny from having paralysis.
In Anime
A Lopunny appears in DP086: Arriving in Style! owned by a trainer called Paris. Meowth had a fantasy in DP117: Noodles: Roaming Off! with a Lopunny in it. Nando had a Lopunny that made is debut in DP176: Coming Full Festival Circle!.

Your cart is empty!
This product cleans the dirt from tongue well. It is economical and lasts long.

I have Sjogren's Syndrome which causes an extremely dry mouth & throat. I have tried several different mouth sprays to try to get relief. Oasis Dry Mouth Spray produces the longest lasting relief for me. I spray my mouth two or three sprays before sleep & that usually keeps me from waking to sip water. It has the best minty flavor too.

I agree with the rave reviews of Binaca Fast Blast but they seem to have discontinued it. Can't find it anywhere--even the regular Binaca spray is no longer at any pharmacies and if you try to order BFB online, it's "no longer in stock". One online pharmacy seemed to have it but wanted to tack on an additional "hazardous shipping" charge of $20!! It seems Listerine is all that's left and it's a poor substitute - at least with BFB you could see how much you have left.
I order this for my husband. He has a dry mouth and throat--especially at night. He keeps a bottle by his bedside and sprays before he lays down. The spray is extremely convenient for him. Thanks for carrying this product!

Gallery: PeopleFund's Austin Headquarters Serves the Community and the ...
Site plan of PeopleFund building and proximity to light rail station.
PeopleFund's new headquarters provides them with permanent facilities in which to provide education, training, loan services, and affordable home ownership counseling and purchase opportunities. The 10,000 sq ft, two-story building contains training and conference rooms plus permanent office space for both PeopleFund and PeopleTrust. Located very close the MLK, Jr metro stop on the Capital MetroRail Red Line, the offices will soon be joined by other non-profit offices, mixed-use and retail spaces, and an affordable housing development.
The project achieves energy efficiency through passive solar design and a high-performance envelope. Eco-friendly, durable and low-maintenance materials like kirei board, stucco, and hardi-board are integrated throughout the project, and east and west walls are built with concrete masonry unit cavity walls to reduce thermal bridging. Lawrence Group and PeopleFund are eagerly anticipating the project's LEED Gold certification.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- On Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the Dawn spacecraft is lifted alongside the mobile service tower. At the top, Dawn will be prepared for mating with the awaiting Delta II rocket. Dawn is scheduled for launch in a window from 7:25 to 7:54 a.m. Sept. 26 from CCAFS. During its nearly decade-long mission, the Dawn mission will study the asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres, celestial bodies believed to have accreted early in the history of the solar system. To carry out its scientific mission, the Dawn spacecraft will carry a visible camera, a visible and infrared mapping spectrometer, and a gamma ray and neutron spectrometer, whose data will be used in combination to characterize these bodies. In addition to the three instruments, radiometric and optical navigation data will provide data relating to the gravity field and thus bulk properties and internal structure of the two bodies. Data returned from the Dawn spacecraft could provide opportunities for significant breakthroughs in our knowledge of how the solar system formed. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller

Start in Atlanta crucial to Gee's rotation future
Righty looks to show he deserves to keep spot as Mets face Hudson
There will be plenty of eyes focused on a certain top Mets prospect this week at Turner Field, but the prelude to Zack Wheeler's debut figures to be pretty compelling as well.
Before Wheeler, the Mets' top pitching prospect, makes his Major League debut Tuesday, right-handers Dillon Gee and Tim Hudson will take the mound in Monday's series opener in Atlanta. They'll try to set the tone for an unusual five-game set that includes a doubleheader Tuesday.
With Wheeler's impending arrival, every start matters for Gee, who has had an ERA hovering near or above 6.00 for most of the year. But the righty is undefeated this month and has allowed just two earned runs in his last two starts (13 2/3 innings), watching his ERA drop from 5.68 to 4.84 in that span.
Gee is likely battling Jeremy Hefner, who scattered three runs (one earned) and six hits over five innings Sunday, for a rotation spot with Wheeler's arrival. Gee pitched 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball in New York's win over the Cardinals on Wednesday, battling through some forearm tendinitis that has been bothering him since Spring Training.
"He had a little tendinitis and pitched great [against the Cardinals]," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Ultimately, it didn't get any worse than it was, but I thought he pitched very, very well. I think he's back."
Hudson, though winless in his last seven starts, has pitched into the eighth inning in two of his last three and seems to have solved the mechanical issues that harmed him in May.
"I feel like the last two or three times out, I'm right where I want to be," Hudson said. "I just don't have a whole lot to show for it from a wins standpoint. But if I just keep throwing the way I have been the last three or four starts, it's going to be a good year."
The veteran righty is 3-0 with a 2.39 ERA in six home starts this year.
Braves: Wood to make first start
Manager Fredi Gonzalez announced after Sunday night's game that rookie Alex Wood will start for the Braves in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. Paul Maholm already was scheduled for the nightcap.
Wood was a starter at Double-A Mississippi, but since the Braves called him up at the end of May, he hasn't topped 36 pitches or two innings while making six relief appearances. That means that the 22-year-old left-hander, a second-round pick in last year's First-Year Player Draft, likely will be limited in terms of how long he can go.
• Rookie slugger Evan Gattis will start consecutive games at some point during the series against the Mets, according to Gonzalez. Gattis either will start Monday and in the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader, or in the second half and again Wednesday.
Mets: Offense not helping
While the Mets have endured plenty of pitching struggles this year, the offense lately hasn't been helping, either.
Since sweeping the Yankees on May 30, the Mets have averaged 3.23 runs per game. But Collins believes a turnaround could be around the corner at any time. Perhaps Sunday's late comeback could be the spark.
"Each and every day, you think this is the day we're going to break out of this," he said.
Worth noting
• David Wright has a hit in eight of his last nine games and is 16-for-38 (.421) with two home runs and five RBIs in that span. He has multiple hits in five of the ballgames.
• The Braves have won three of five from the Mets this year, while splitting two games at Turner Field.

Orignal Design Vacuum Pumps & Kits
Pump Features:
Kit Includes:
The nature of a vacuum pump is to remove air, blow-by gases, and other contaminants from the crankcase of an engine. The vacuum pump's ability to remove the air in the crankcase results in overall engine vacuum. Vacuum will increase horsepower by allowing the use of low-tension compression and oil rings. The use of these pumps reduces frictional horsepower losses, blow-by, intake charge contamination and aids in detonation prevention. Moroso's "purpose built" racing pumps offer all these advantages and more. Whether you have a normally aspirated small block or a nitrous equipped pro-mod, one of Moroso's vacuum pumps with all the needed accessories has you covered.

For over a decade Injen Technology Co. Ltd has played a major roll in the design and development of quality air intake systems. Based out of California, Injen Technology's history is a classic success story of a small manufacturing company turned industry leader of aftermarket performance products.In order to get cold air into a hot engine bay, the air filter is usually mounted in the front fender area, away from the heat. Although this is usually great, it opens up the filter to getting wet. Water getting into your engine unchecked is never a good thing. So Injen developed the Hydo-Shield, to help prevent saturating the filter if splashed by water.When used in dusty conditions it can also extend the filter cleaning interval by filtering and keeping much of the dirt from the air filter.Features:
Actual product may vary slightly from the stock image.
Injen Technology has made it a point to stay at the forefront of performance technology making only the best air intake one can envision. In 1999 Injen was faced with such a strong demand in both US and Canada that in order to meet production schedules it became essential to branch out and add a second building.
In 2003, Injen Technology launched our Super SES stainless steel cat-back exhaust systems complimenting our line of air intake systems. Each exhaust system was equipped with the Injen signature style slanted mufflers and featured highly polished stainless steel.

Been thinking about getting a Super A or a 140 to put my 1000 loader on. Several reasons, but mainly to have a larger tractor around and a more substantial tractor to carry the loader. A Cub is OK, but just have an itch to put it on a bigger frame. I really don't relish having one more tractor to care for, so I would probably sell one or two Cubs or even trade if the right circumstance came along.
Having never owned either one I don't know much about them. Looking for opinions, advice, where to look, what to watch out for, etc. The loader manual says to remove the fixed drawbar but says nothing about a fast hitch. From that I presume the loader and fast hitch can co-exist.

The day begins early at Hibbert's Colorado training ground. He drives the snowcat down to the track before dawn to begin the day's track preparation.
