Vivisection is the live dissection of animals. Millions of animals such as mice, rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, monkeys and sheep, to name but a few, are killed every year this way. Behind closed doors, vivisectors force feed animals chemicals, infuse them with cancers, cut open their skulls and place electrodes in their brains - some of the many horrors that go on in testing laboratories - then, if the animal has not already died, they cut them up, slowly killing them. All this, in the name of so-called ''science'' - fronted by the vivisectors' guise of improving mankinds medical advancements. When the truth of it is, that it's all just a money making scheme orchistrated by the pharmaceutical industry. One of the major flaws in animal testing is that of 'species difference'. This means that animal tests are basically unreliable as a way to predict effects in humans - positive results in animal studies have proved disastrous when applied to humans. Animal research has been shown time and time again to hold back medical progress. Today when there is a wealth of sophisticated techniques including computer modelling, tissue cultures, epidemiological studies and clinical studies available for use that offer a cruelty-free, reliable alternative to vivisection, it makes no sense whatsoever to continue to use animals. More importantly, there is absolutely no moral or ethical justification to test ANYTHING on animals. They are sentient beings who have the right to live out their lives, they do not deserve to be exploited by people. We have to say 'no' to vivisection, and be the voice for all the animals who are locked away in dark, barren cages - right now - terrified, where their only escape from this life of fear and torture is death.
