This is the worst form of abuse on our society and it is LEGAL. This inhumane treatment of animals is actually legal and permitted. Animals in labs are caged not being able to express regular behavior. They rarely get to feel sunshine, but instead feel the coldness of concrete. They are nutrient deprived, crowded with other animals, and have to endure noisy environments. This type of living causes these animals to become stressed and may even be driven insane because they have been trapped for years in confinement. Animals have to endure the environment they live in and then face the procedures they are forced to perform. "In research and testing, animals are subjected to experiments that can include everything from testing new drugs to infecting with diseases, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming, blinding, and other painful and invasive procedures". In toxicity testing animals receive the testing substance daily for 2 years with no recovery. Many die before they complete the study or those who live are killed. Genetic engineering creates much suffering for animals and kills many of them, suffering from abnormalities and diseased conditions.
