Despite appearances that lead us to believe, the world of aquatic animals is extremely complex. Fish, like humans or other terrestrial animals, see, feel, suffer, communicate. Most fish produce sounds (unfortunately only audible through a hydrophone) when touched, when due, when continuing. Their sensations, whether visual, olfactory, taste or touch are also well developed, much more often than in most other animals. Their nervous system has the same pain receptors as ours. They also feel the fear as humans, their heart rate increases, and their breathing rate and a discharge of adrenaline is released when they are hunted, for example. It has been shown that the poles quickly learn to avoid the hooks in seeing other fish being caught. Fish feel pain, therefore, fear, deprivation of liberty or stress due to severe sensory stimuli. Keeping them locked up in aquariums are deprived of their basic needs, submit daily shocks such as noise, light, indoor pollutants (smoke, perfumes). Many die or are injured during capture (dynamite, cyanide bomb, and anesthetic, making the net). Those who survive suffer from boredom, stress, and / or multiple defects.
[...] By using these alternative methods, the study showed a 50% improvement in prediction of toxicity compared to experiments on whole animals, live "The animals are needed for human organ transplants? " The general public often sees in transplantation a significant medical advance, but the majority of heart disease, liver and kidneys (the organs most commonly transplanted) can be avoided through preventive medicine and living healthier. These are the strategies most sensible and effective to reverse the diseases that make such transplantations. [...]
[...] Stress and distress in animals kept in a laboratory can affect results, as well as differences in age, sex, diet, and even type of litter! The test results strictly identical may vary from one laboratory to another and even from hour to hour. The anesthetics also disrupt responses, including toxicology. But now researchers have found the parade despite the law that makes mandatory exceptions (tests on pain and analgesic), it will pass, discreetly. And if the animals suffer, who will tell? [...]
[...] The sense of humanity are so ill-suited to hunting, he uses dogs to find prey without them, it could very well pass up without seeing animals (animals have fur or feathers which serves as camouflage). When the hunter's dog is an animal escape, humans need only pointing his gun and shoot. That's what they claim to be sport. Some argue that hunting practice that regulates the human species. But be aware that hunters are required to make farming game, as hares and pheasants to be able to kill something. [...]
[...] The fish like many other animals are treated by humans to objects: they can poison them, drain them of water, they can maim, beat them, disembowel them, capture them, behead them, irrelevant, our inability to perceive their terror and suffering invites us to think that they feel no! Even if we do not generally feel little compassion for aquatic animals, fish refuse to eat or take fish kept in aquariums, is aware of ability to feel emotions and pain sensations. [...]
[...] Why humans do they wear the fur of animals killed and dismembered? To satisfy a taste for luxury useless. The fur is more useless. The animals for this trade spend their lives in tiny cages electrified to prevent animals from rubbing against the bars of the cage so they do not damage their fur. To prevent the fur from being damaged, furriers also use methods of killing are extremely slow and painful, such as choking, electrocution, strangulation. Number of animals killed to make a fur coat: Target: 60 to 80, Fox: 15 to 20, Raccoons: 40, Lynx 15, Opossums: 25 Cheetahs: 6 to 12, Leopards: 3 to Beavers : 10 to 20, Chinchilla: 130 to 200, Hermine: 180 to 240, Otter: 10 to 16, Marten 40 to 50, Opossum: 30 to 40, Sable 60 to 70.
