American 心 Association
The American 心 Association has funded studies to determine the effects of 秒 hand smoke on chickens, forcing the birds to breathe concentrated cigarette smoke for extended periods of time. One has to 问题 the value of such studies, since the harmful effects of 秒 hand smoke on humans have been well established. The American 心 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 小猫 were sewn shut for one year, to prove that loss of normal vision alters the brain development of cats. Science long 以前 established that loss of vision alters brain development of humans, but now we know it does the same thing in cats. The 小猫 were killed after one year. The March of Dimes also funds studies in which drugs and alcohol are 给 to pregnant 动物 to prove that these substances harm developing babies, something we all know harms humans.
Red 交叉, 十字架
Many people are surprised to learn that the Red 交叉, 十字架 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 由 the Red 交叉, 十字架 involved mice, rats and toads.
Shriners Burns Institutes
Shriners Burns Institutes have studied the effects of burns on rats, guinea pigs, 狗 and 羊 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.
