Animal Testing is Torture | Rat Testing Undercover Investigation

LCA UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION EXPOSES THE SUFFERING OF RATS IN ANIMAL TESTING 3/10/2025 - A new undercover investigation released by LCA exposes the suffering of rats at a toxicology laboratory. An investigator who worked at the lab as a toxicology technician for 6 months, working primarily with rodents, documented rats being forced to ingest toxic substances, including household cleaners, pharmaceutical drugs, and cannabis. "RESEARCH MODELS" = ANIMAL SUFFERING Animal testing companies refer to rats and other animals as "research models", thus devaluing their individuality and sentience. Charles River Laboratories and Inov (formerly Envigo) are major suppliers of rodents to animal research. Rats are genetically manipulated to make them more desirable for animal testing. The rats documented in LCA's investigation are Sprague Dawley, one of the most common breeds used in biomedical research. Other rats bred for research include the SRG Rat by Charles River, which "is a severely immunodeficient inbred rat..." that boasts the ability to grow "larger tumor sizes (up to 10x larger compared to mice..."). An inbred mouse sold by Inotiv (the C57BL/6) is prone to alcoholism and binge drinking. A LONG HISTORY OF PAIN AND SUFFERING The use of rats in research dates back to the 1850s, although it is estimated they had been used in experiments even earlier. Today they are one of the most commonly used animals in research, favored for their size, adaptability and genetics. They are used in a variety of experiments from toxicology to wound healing to cocaine addiction. The day-to-day lives of rats in animal research is nothing short of torture.
