Animal Testing: The Beginning of the End

Originally uploaded by Jane Ray’s Wildlife Rescue Series


It is estimated that anywhere from 50 to 100 million vertebrate animals worldwide — from zebrafish to non-human primates — are used annually in animal experimentation, and are killed during or after the experiments.

In North America, at least, this is about to change.

For the best news I’ve ever heard about this gut-wrenching subject, see my related post, below.

I found out recently that even chocolate can be tested on animals (M&Ms, for example). This was very distressing news! At least now there may be an end in sight — for the animals and for my M&M withdrawal.

Unbelievable. And yet, why should I be surprised?

I visited students at Don Christian Elementary last week, and they all knew what “boycott” meant, and what a powerful tool boycotting can be. I was impressed. So I am hereby boycotting M&Ms until further notice.
