105-Animal experiments - Buddhism in daily life

Animal experiments


Do you know how many animals have to give their lives for animal
experiments every year? The numbers are disgusting, an
unbelievable 3 million animals suffer year after year in Germany
alone.


Unbelievable sums are converted with this animal murder, each
quantity of national funds blown.


In spite of broad resistance in the population, the politicians,
who are often "supported" by the economy, stick to the cruel
practice, although the sense of animal experiments is also
doubted in science on a broad front. This has a very simple
reason, a fat profit is made with this disgusting mischief. The
profiteers of these machinations are particularly despicable.


The prospects are even worse than the actual state, because of a
completely hare-brained EU chemical regulation (REACH) up to 60
million animals will be "consumed" in toxicity tests in the near
future.


If you dive deeper into the topic here, you will lose your
composure (to write the article I had to go through the details).
Animals are treated like dirt in our country, locked up in small
cages, killed for nothing.


We humans make life hell for animals. If I imagine that we
already treat the animals we eat badly, what will happen to the
animals used for animal experiments?


The "consumption" of animals for pseudo-scientific purposes is
astronomical, every year 2000 monkeys alone are slaughtered for
the privilege of humans. So-called "surplus animals" are not
taken into account in statistics, i.e. many more animals die than
indicated in the official figures. In Europe, almost 23 million
animals are "consumed" in animal testing, we should all be
ashamed of ourselves.


In tests for cosmetics alone, animals are subjected to the most
horrible tortures, the safety of the products is supposed to be
ensured this way. Things that are not allowed to be tested here
(and in the EU), the companies then give to tests abroad, where
the rights of the animals are even worse.


The absolute hammer, however, are "patents" on genetically
modified animals, from which unscrupulous business enterprises
hope for fat profits in the future, a thoroughly degenerate
system, the animals as a commodity.


Here, Buddhists in particular are called upon to take a clear
position, products that have been produced with animal testing, I
leave them, I do not participate in animal murder.


One issue is the consumption of meat or fish, a completely
different story is the murder of countless innocent creatures for
the production of medicines or cosmetics.


Support non-animal research methods and manufacturers that work
without animal murder, who can enter the minds of animals?





The way is the goal!


Who fully consciously cultivates immeasurable kindness, mindful
of the frailty of all mortal, the earthly fetters loosen. He who
with a clear mind cultivates kindness even for one living being,
is by this alone a righteous man. He who neither kills nor lets
kill, neither does violence nor lets do violence, he who is
kind-minded towards all beings, has no enmity to fear
