Statistics & Facts


  • Estimates say that between 14 and 70 million animals are used in experiments each year. 
  •  It’s impossible to know exactly how many animals are tested because US law does not require scientists to report how many birds, reptiles, or rodents they use. 
  • Over 1 million dogs, cats, primates, sheep, hamsters, and guinea pigs are used in labs each year
  • Thousands of shelter animals are tormented and euthanized in U.S. laboratories every year. 
  • 50% of animals used in cosmetic testing die within three weeks of the experiment. 
  • Botox is deemed safe for humans once it kills half of mice tested. 
  • Animal testing is often ineffective in predicting how products will work on people. Some estimates say up to 92% of tests passed on animals failed when tried on humans.
