Thousands of innocent animals - lactating goats, pregnant guinea pigs, cats, puppies, rabbits, quails and others - are being fed, injected, scraped and intoxicated by inhalation of poisonous chemicals in the United States and abroad for the production of more pesticides. We already have thousands of harmful pesticides on the market, yet the EPA continues to accept applications from pesticide producers, demanding tests on animals. Much of the test data already exists, yet producers don't want to pay the higher price for existing data ... it is cheaper to order new tests, subjecting innocent animals to lives of isolation, fear and sickness. These animals live inside laboratories in cold metal cages, never feeling the warmth of the sun or engaging in any of the innate behaviors programmed by nature.
Please sign this petition and ask your friends to join the fight to stop this cruelty. We must send a messsage to the EPA and our government officials that the secret is out and we won't tolerate the abuse of animals for the production of harmful pesticides any longer.
I have finalized a formal request for documentation regarding the current EPA protocols for chemical testing. My next step involves direct correspondence with the oversight committees to challenge the redundancy of these new animal studies.
April 20, 2012
The momentum behind this petition has reached a level that allows us to request a formal meeting with EPA administrative staff. I am currently drafting a briefing document that outlines the redundancy of these animal tests to present during our upcoming discussions.

Enough is enough. My heart hurts thinking about those puppies and kittens in cages. Stop testing on them immediately.

The greed involved here is just insane. Do not let these companies get away with this anymore. Use existing data like they should be doing.

Nobody should be allowed to treat living creatures like lab equipment. It is time for the government to step up and ban these sick practices for good.

This is completely heartless. How can they justify torturing living things just to save a few bucks on data? Stop the abuse now.
