What They Don’t Want You To Know
An enormous victory was achieved for animals this week when nearly 200 dogs and 54 cats were rescued from a North Carolina animal testing facility that closed its doors after an undercover investigation revealed apparent abuse of the animals by workers at the facility. Quick work on the part of the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), in partnership with the Humane Society of the U.S. and more than a dozen animal shelters and rescues succeeded in placing all of the rescued animals, offering hope that they will find loving homes and solace after their ordeal.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) conducted the initial investigation that exposed the apparent cruelty at Professional Laboratory and Research Services, an inconspicuous rural lab funded by large pharmaceutical companies to test insecticides and other chemicals used in companion animal products. For nine months, a PETA investigator worked undercover at the facility, and shot video showing animals in excruciating pain from procedures, as well as employees kicking, throwing, and dragging petrified dogs, violently slamming cats into cages, and screaming obscenities at the animals for showing fear and being uncooperative.
Following its investigation, PETA filed formal complaints with federal and state agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and submitted evidence to the local prosecutor’s office. Soon thereafter, the USDA inspected the facility and instigated a formal investigation. In the meantime, the lab agreed to surrender voluntarily all its dogs and cats, and to cease research at the facility.

This is sick, and what kind of sick person just carry’s a camera and walks round filming this!
Me and my friend are gathering people to help us write a speech and gather tons of money to help PREVENT animal testing/CRUELTY and we are also trying to build our own farm of cats that have been hurt in their life! (kennels/stray’s etc.)

it made me… cry
i hope the world will end, as soon as possible. i hope that becouse i know its the only way to stop this
i dont care if its russian athomic bomb or usa oil war or natural dissaster.
i hope people like that will die. if i die with them – thats better than living knowing that beasts like that, who call themselves humans can get away with things like that. i rather watch the whole world ends than watch any minute of such unnatural cruelty.
i look at my cat and i can’t stop crying thinking how lucky he is with me. being sad is not enough to say how i feel about treating others like that.
i do hope that hell is real and those *** will burn there forever. if hell’s not real i hope they will suffer, in each of their incarnation – each of them will suffer ethernity in any way possible.
the worse thing of all is that i could never treat those f***ers like they treat others so i do hope nature and goverment will do it for me.
