American cuore Association

The American cuore Association has funded studies to determine the effects of secondo hand smoke on chickens, forcing the birds to breathe concentrated cigarette smoke for extended periods of time. One has to domanda the value of such studies, since the harmful effects of secondo hand smoke on humans have been well established. The American cuore Association has helped fund numerous other cruel studies, including studies in holes were cut in the throats of lambs to see how that affected their breathing.

March of Dimes

The March of Dimes funded a study in which the eyes of gattini were sewn shut for one year, to prove that loss of normal vision alters the brain development of cats. Science long fa established that loss of vision alters brain development of humans, but now we know it does the same thing in cats. The gattini were killed after one year. The March of Dimes also funds studies in which drugs and alcohol are dato to pregnant animali to prove that these substances harm developing babies, something we all know harms humans.

Red Cross

Many people are surprised to learn that the Red attraversare, croce funds experiments on animals, but they do. In one experiment, researchers drained 30 percent of the blood volume of rabbits every two weeks to see how it affected them. Other experiments funded da the Red attraversare, croce involved mice, rats and toads.

Shriners Burns Institutes

Shriners Burns Institutes have studied the effects of burns on rats, guinea pigs, Cani and pecora, pecore for years. In one study, rats were burned so that the effects of a particular drug on wound healing could be studied. Since the drug was already being used on humans, one is left to wonder why the researchers didn't just study the effects of the drug on them.
