This is truly disgusting. Be warned not to watch the video if these things upset you. Only posting to create more awareness to these horrible acts of cruelty. How people could do this to innocent animals is beyond me. These people should be placed in cages and treated in the same manner in which they did to the animals. How can people do things like this? It's beyond sad that people could do these acts.
For nine months, a PETA investigator worked undercover inside the filthy, deafeningly loud kennels of Professional Laboratory and Research Services, Inc. (PLRS). Inconspicuously tucked away in rural North Carolina, PLRS takes money from huge pharmaceutical companies to test insecticides and other chemicals used in companion animal products. Bayer, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Schering-Plough (now Merck), Sergeant's, Wellmark, and Merial, the maker of Frontline flea and tick products, are some of the corporations that have paid PLRS to force-feed experimental compounds to dogs and cats and smear chemicals onto the animals' skin.
PETA's investigator found that toxicity tests were just part of what the animals endured. Laboratory workers appeared to despise the animals in their care—they yelled and cursed at cowering dogs and cats, calling them "*******," "mother****ers," and "*****"; used pressure hoses to spray water—as well as bleach and other harsh chemicals—on them; and dragged dogs through the facility who were too frightened to walk.
Video evidence shows that terrified cats were pulled from cages by the scruff of the neck while workers screamed in their faces and that a cat was viciously slammed into the metal door of a cage. One worker grabbed a cat and pushed him against a chain-link fence. When the cat fearfully clutched at the fencing with his claws, the worker jerked him off the fencing, saying she hoped that the cat's nails had been ripped out.
peta has little credibility with me. remember it was peta that murdered many rescued dogs and cats and unceremoniously dumped them in a dumpster. however in this case where they have video evidence, they may have something here.
There are countless people being tortured everyday across the world, and human rights being violated. Where's the outrage and compassion for them?
This logic always baffles me. Are you assuming that because people point out these incidents of animal cruelty that they don't have any compassion for people being tortured as well? Both are sickening.

All the years on this forum, this is one of the most ignorant posts I've read. So there is no compassion or outrage for humans as described? Last I heard there were a couple wars going on, trillions of dollars being spent and Americans being killed for human rights.
No, it's not -- it's a stupid question. It assumes that if one has compassion for animals, one cannot have compassion for humans.

People who are cruel to defenseless creatures are the lowest forms of life.

Actually I have compassion for animals but unlike liberals, I think humans are better than animals. I know liberals can't understand this because they hate their fellow man (like the very excellent movie Avatar, even though it had a clear anti-human message), unless they are liberal of course
I can honestly say that I haven't been this sick to my stomache in quite some time.
