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
