Animal Testing Research: Facts

 

Tests they do on Animals in Labs:

- Workers drill holes into cats' skulls, screw metal restraint posts into their head and implant steel coils into their eyes.

- One test has a capsule that has ticks inside. This capsule is strapped onto rabbits so that the ticks can feed off of them.

- Because of these tests, animals can have lasting physical issues such as having weakened muscles and damaged ligaments.

- Monkeys are experimented on by being trapped into chairs. Their heads are clamped into metal collars. When trapped into these chairs, they are put into cages.

- In some labs, workers drop mice into a beaker of water as make them swim to avoid drowning.

- Some labs make dogs breath in smoke from cigarettes for months.

- Mice are cut up whilst being conscious. 

- Cats are paralysed deafened and drowned.

Animal Testing: Poster 2

Image
I have now finished my second poster for my animal testing project. This poster focuses on how rats are tested on in labs and what makeup products are tested on them. I have visually shown a rat that is ;using its fur and that has had substances spread onto its skin that is for lipstick products. To hint at how rats are tested on for lipstick, I've made a pattern in the background of my poster. I have surrounded the image with text that is about animal testing and about signing up to help reduce animal testing. To make this mock-up to look like a campaign poster, I have added a suitable logo from the PeTA.   I like how this piece turned out based on the illustrations as they communicate the message of how it is cruel to keep testing on animals for cosmetic products. However, I need to experiment more with colour scheme to see if there are any other outcomes that may look better.
