Save Dogs From The Shelter

Help save dogs from the Aspen Animal Shelter. Instead of buying dogs from breeders and farms help save rescue dogs from shelters.

Meet the aspen animal shelter dogs. These dogs are my favorite. Visit the Aspen Animal Shelter website to see all of them.

Did you know many everyday cosmetics such as makeup and body products currently test on animals? We’ve interviewed staff around the school to see what their opinion is on animal testsaid, “Animals have feelings, and they feel pain. I don’t think it’s fair for us to do testing on them,”Virginia says. It is proven that animals do feel pain (DUH) and therefore testing is extremely painful. According to the Humane Society of the United States, “Animals in laboratories suffer immensely. In addition to the painful experiments that the vast majority of animals in laboratories experience, the testing can last days, months, years or even decades, showing that life in a laboratory is typically a miserable and terrifying experience.”

Virginia also says, “It started because I love animals so much, I even stopped eating meat because I love animals too much. Since then I just can’t imagine doing anything like this. I believe they would be really anxious. Like, pacing

Animal testing is very unfair and animals deserve to be loved, not tested on and used for human products like cosmetics. We believe it is a complicated question and believe that a lot of people think that it’s okay to test on animals if it’s going to help humans and that’s a way of thinking. We believe they think, oh, if I can make a medicine and money that’s going to help humans and save a lot of lives, So it’s okay to test on animals, Virginia mocks, “Does that make sense to you?” Humans are kind and should live in peace with all animals and plants in the ecosystem, not test on them and try to take control of them. We think most humans do not care enough about animals. We think it is really sad. Experimenting with animals is really bad because animals suffer painful, short lives if they don’t get released. And even then. “I think animals have feelings and they feel pain so I don’t think it’s fair for us to do testing on them, although I do know it’s given us some advances in medicine,” Virginia sadly says.
