... in this one state - dogs Included

Over 1.08 million animals were used for scientific “experiments” in total, and now that number is rising for the first time in supposedly three years in this state.

Think that it’s not that inhumane to experiment on mice or rodents? Well, these animals being experimented upon include koalas, pound dogs, rabbits, horses, monkeys and sheep.

This is happening in the Australian state of Victoria.

The official justification is that most of these animals were “simply observed” (does that mean a control group? Probably not), but other animals suffered through horrific, violent “tests” in the name of science, as phrased by an article from the Herald Sun.

This isn’t in the name of science, it’s in the name of scientism and money.

One weird fact about this statistic is that the animals undergoing genetic modifications in particular rose tremendously, with 133,852 animals being used for 259 separate projects.

These are the official records.

Animals used in experiments during 2016 in Victoria

Lab Mice — 398,277

Fish — 294,950

Sheep — 85,677

Guinea pigs — 3962

Pounds dogs — 2945

Lab Rabbits — 1464

Horses — 704

Pound cats — 597

Marmosets — 95

Macaques — 86

Reptiles — 52

Some animals were subject to being implanted with who knows what, for long-term monitoring. Other animals were afflicted with longterm, major physical impediments and deformities as animal experimentation always causes, and some of the animals passed away.

Please beware of the disturbing photos you are about to see. They are not necessarily of animals in Victoria, but animals being experimented on in general.
