Laboratory of Pharmacology and toxicology (LPT): sadism performed in the name of "good"
Derrière les murs blancs du Laboratoire de pharmacologie et de toxicologie allemand, des chats, des chiens, des macaques, des lapins baignent dans le sang.
The German NGO Soko Tierschutz lifts the veil behind the scenes at the Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology (LPT). An appalling return to an investigation into animal experiments which are performed out of sight, in defiance of the law and of all humanity. With Cruelty Free International, we call for the closure of this establishment and the abolition of cruel, unnecessary and outdated tests!

Translucent
pipettes, white coats, bluish protective masks, examination gloves
and matching turquoise eyes… The internet showcase of the
Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology (LPT) in Germany, shines
with cleanliness and for good reason. This organization, which claims
excellence in the field of toxicological research, works for
pharmaceutical, industrial and agrochemical companies around the
world in order to meet the requirements of governments and regulatory
authorities. So, it is better not to have dirty hands.
Please
note, the images are particularly shocking.
The lab of horrors
But
this sanitized atmosphere actually turns out to be a smoke screen.
Which camouflages abominable atrocities. The NGO Soko Tierschutz and
our partner Cruelty Free International managed to infiltrate the
laboratory. The images they bring back are unbearable. Goodbye
immaculate walls and mattresses, here blood is spurting from all
sides. That of the monkeys, cats, dogs and rabbits who are massacred
with the soul aim to provide statistics to the researchers. Toxicity
tests involve poisoning animals, this is how scientists hope to
determine how much a chemical or drug can cause serious harm, and
what the “safe” dosage for humans would be. Subject to
injections, forced to eat or inhale increasing amounts of harmful
substances, guinea pigs are victims of vomiting, internal bleeding,
respiratory distress, fever, weight loss, lethargy, skin problems or
organic insufficiency before dying. No aesthetic, no pain relief is
provided. It is in terror, the screams and appalling suffering that
they agonize and / or die, alone, deep in their dungeons.
Tormented for nothing
As in December 2014, we are relaying this survey from our partners, in
order to once again denounce what is happening in the laboratories in
this country, in violation of European and German laws. We also issue
an emergency appeal to the international community to end animal
testing, as vile as it is useless. These tests are unreliable
predictors for humans, as each species often reacts differently to
the same substance. They therefore do not guarantee safe and
effective drugs. On the other hand, they demonstrate to what extent
the border between “good” and “evil” has very
vague outlines in the minds of some … For us, it is clear:
barbarism has no place in a society that claims to be civilized.
