If a picture is worth a thousand words, the look on that beagle’s face and in his/her eyes says that much and more.

tobacco company animal testing

Nation’s 3rd largest tobacco company bans animal testing - It’s only when you see an article like this that you realize, with horror, the sickening truth: After all these decades and everything we know about the damage done by cigarettes and Big Tobacco, they’ve still been testing their life-sucking product on animals–”when necessary”! Excerpt from article: “PETA cites industry studies in which animals were forced to inhale cigarette smoke, eat tobacco and have cigarette tar painted on their skin.”

The beagle pictured is “smoking” a cigarette “via a machine linked to its [sic] windpipe by a plastic tube to test any link between smoking and emphysema at the Veterans Administration Hospital in East Orange, New Jersey, in November 1966.”
