Many times we forget that animals are as important as trees to mankind. People abuse and kill these innocent animals for selfish reasons such as laboratory experiments of chemicals, drugs, food, etc or production of leather, fur, and other textiles.
Over 115 million animals – mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds, among others – are killed in laboratory experiments worldwide for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing every year.
There are 5,000-6,000 tigers living in captivity in China to fuel the traditional medicine industry.
