PETA to NIH: Animals Feel Pain and Joy—Stop Testing on Them

Pigs engage in complex play and can understand the perspective of other sentient beings, yet experimenters cut and burn their skin as if they were objects. Rats show empathy and altruism just like humans, but in laboratories, they’re mutilated and injected with chemicals. The evidence is overwhelming: Animals experience emotions ranging from joy and happiness to deep sadness and grief, so why is the National Institutes of Health (NIH) still funding experiments on them?

Rabbits typically have many babies and dig complex tunnel systems called warrens, where they live with their families. Some warrens are as large as tennis courts and as deep as 10 feet! They connect different rooms that rabbits use for activities such as eating and sleeping—much like our own kitchens and bedrooms.
