Animal Research Industry
The vivisection industry is made up of tens of thousands of individuals
and entities who profit from the misery, suffering, and deaths of more
than 115 million animals a year (exact numbers are hard to come by since
mice, rats, and birds, who make up 80 to 90 percent of those animals used,
are not covered by the Animal Welfare Act and therefore go uncounted).
The best way to understand how the vivisection industry works is to start
with the animals themselves. First, there isn't a species of nonhuman
animal experimenters won't exploit. Dogs, mice, rats, cats, fruit flies,
zebra fish, macaques, baboons, chimpanzees, horses, pigs, chickens, bees,
etc., are all up for grabs. Second, animals used in experimentation are
supplied to laboratories by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-licensed
Class A and/or Class B dealers. Class
A dealers sell "purpose-bred" animals, born into this world
only to be experimented on and then killed. Class
B dealers supply "random source" animals purchased at
auctions, "adopted" from unsuspecting individuals who placed
"free to a good home" ads in their local papers and/or are
stolen from people's backyards and outside of stores while their human
companions are inside. Finally, these animals are offered for sale to
experimenters via word of mouth and in publications like Lab
Animal magazine. Also advertised in this publication are the
cages, miniature guillotines (used to chop off the heads of live rats),
and other sadistic devices used by the vivisection industry.
Animals bred and procured for use in experimentation can end up in any one
of the thousands of laboratories (owned and operated by the makers of
personal care and household products, colleges and universities, drug and
chemical manufacturers, state and federal regulatory agencies, etc) in the
United States that conduct experiments on animals. Furthermore, there are
as many different types of animal experiments as there are laboratories
conducting them; animals are cloned, bred for their organs, addicted to
drugs and alcohol, forced to inhale and/or ingest toxic substances,
subjected to maternal deprivation experiments, purposely deafened with
loud noises, made to suffer strokes, blinded, burned, stapled, given
diabetes and cancer, and infected with horrifying viruses like Ebola. Most
people are shocked to learn that such abuses, when "properly
conducted" in the laboratory setting, are exempt from state
anti-cruelty statutes.
While every laboratory that experiments on animals other than mice, rats,
and birds is licensed and inspected by the USDA and expected to adhere to
the minimal standards of care as set forth by the Animal Welfare Act
(e.g., proper cage size, adequate food, water, and veterinary care, etc.),
funding comes from a variety of sources: gifts and grants from private
individuals and foundations, donations solicited from well-intentioned but
uninformed members of the public, industry money, etc. Nonetheless, the
largest provider of funds for animal experimentation is the federal
government. Every year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) doles out
hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in support of some of the most
bizarre and sadistic animal experiments ever conceived. One animal
experimenter at New York University (NYU) received $250,000 dollars from
NIH to construct a crack pipe through which monkeys, sealed inside old
refrigerators, were forced to smoke crack cocaine.
In support of those who directly profit from animal experimentation
(animal dealers and shippers, laboratory-equipment makers, experimenters
and the institutions that they work for, etc.) is the vivisection lobby.
Working hand in hand with its supporters in industry, academia, and
government, the animal experimentation lobby enjoys a self-serving steady
flow of taxpayer dollars while fighting animal protection legislation at
every turn. They even successfully opposed giving protection to mice,
rats, and birds, claiming it would be too costly and burdensome.
The best way to tackle the vivisection industry is to demand that your
alma mater stop experimenting on animals, buy those products that are
cruelty-free, give only to those charities that do not experiment on
animals and demand the immediate validation and implementation of humane,
more effective, and readily available non-animal tests from the federal
government (e.g. Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug
Administration, Department of Transportation, etc.)
How Animals Wind Up in Labs
Companion Animals
Many dogs and cats used in laboratory experiments come from companies that
breed animals for research purposes. Others were once trusting companions
who simply got lost–or stolen–from their families.
-
Pound Seizure
Animal shelters in certain states are required to turn over homeless
dogs to government-run facilities for medical experiments if they are
not claimed by former or new guardians within five days of arriving at
the shelter. This
is commonly known as pound seizure.
Three states require pound seizure of government-run facilities:
Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Utah. Thirteen states, including Connecticut,
Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West
Virginia, forbid pound seizure. Most other states have no law and
leave it up to county or town governments to decide.
-
Class A Dealers
Anyone selling animals to laboratories or selling more than 24 dogs or
cats per year at the wholesale level must be licensed. Class
A dealers maintain their own breeding colonies, such as puppy mills.
According to the States News Service, Class A dealers or breeders who
choose to release animals for research; people who donate their
companion animals to research; and private and federal facilities that
breed animals are capable of supplying far more cats and dogs than are
required by current laboratory demand.
-
Class B Dealers
Anyone 18 or older who is willing to pay a fee can obtain a U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Class B dealer license. In states
that allow pound seizure, Class B dealers may buy animals from pounds
and animal shelters. "Bunchers" are also a vital source of
animals in the dealers' network. Using sedatives hidden in meat,
females in heat, and nets, they lure or trap dogs and cats. Some
thieves pose as animal control officers and comb neighborhoods in
vans, "confiscating" animals without tags. Many bunchers
also purchase litters from unsuspecting people who allow their animal
companions to breed and obtain animals from "Free to a Good
Home" advertisements.
C.C. Baird, the largest and most notorious Class B animal dealer in
the United States, purchased animals from people using false addresses
and non-existent driver's license numbers. In March 2004, after years
of efforts by animal protection organizations, the USDA filed a
108-page complaint listing hundreds of violations against C.C. Baird,
his wife, Patsy, and their daughters, Jeanette and Patricia.
States News Service reports that there are about 50 "random
source" animal dealers across the United States. They often keep
hundreds of animals in squalid conditions and give them little food
and water. These animals often are eventually sold to research
laboratories for $200 to $500 each.
Primates
Chimpanzees and other primates used in U.S. laboratories are primarily
captive-bred. Unwanted chimpanzees from zoos and circuses are sometimes
sold to laboratories. Poachers also shoot chimpanzee mothers and take
their infants for research. Many of the captured baby chimpanzees die
before they reach the laboratory.
The Oregon National Primate Research Center brags that it maintains
colonies of rhesus monkeys, snow monkeys, vervets, and baboons who were
taken from the wild and/or brought to the center from other facilities.
Rodents and Other Animals
Birds, frogs, pigs, sheep, cattle, and many naturally free-roaming animals
(e.g., prairie dogs and owls) are also common victims of experimentation.
So are mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and rabbits.
Most small animals used in laboratory experiments are bred by callous
companies who view animals as little more than walking pin cushions and
test tubes with whiskers. For example, Charles River Laboratories is one
of the world's largest suppliers of rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils,
rabbits, guinea pigs, and other animals for laboratory experiments. The
Jackson Laboratory supplies approximately 2 million specially bred JAX
Mice to major universities, medical schools, and research laboratories in
the world every year.
Colleges / Universities
Does My College Use Animals?
There are several steps that you can take to help you determine
the extent of animal use, both in teaching and in research, at a college
or university:
1. Institutions that experiment on animals other than
mice, rats, and birds (which are specifically excluded from coverage under
the Animal
Welfare Act) must be licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. You
can see if schools are listed by checking here.
2. All institutions that receive federal grants for
research using vertebrate animals must file an assurance with the National
Institutes of Health that they will abide by the Public
Health Service (PHS) Principles regarding animal care. This
list can be found here (click on the state you want at the top). Keep
in mind that only schools receiving federal funds for the studies need to
file an assurance with the government. Schools may still be experimenting
on mice, rats, and birds without being on this list if the studies are
funded by grants from private corporations or if the animals are being
used in teaching exercises or experiments that are not federally funded.
3. For schools that are not on either list, you should
check the schools' Web sites (or Google them if the sites do not have a
search feature) to look for evidence of animal research and animal use in
teaching. You might have to do some searching, but generally any college
that has a biology department and/or a psychology department will use
animals in some way. One clue to animal use is the existence of an
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), sometimes called by
other names. Even schools that do not use animals often partner with
institutions that do. For example, Bard College is on neither list, but it
has a partnership with Rockefeller University (which is one of the top
recipients in the U.S. of funding for animal experiments) so that students
can get "hands on" experience that they can't get at Bard.
4. Many schools still teach dissection in biology,
anatomy, and other life science courses. Physiology classes often involve
live animal exercises with turtles,
frogs, rabbits, and rats. Find the course catalog on the school's Web
site and look for life science classes, then read each syllabus to check
for dissection or live-animal exercises. When in doubt, call the
university department directly and ask about what kinds of live and dead
animals they use.
