RETARDED RESEARCH
by Jenny Moxham
Some folk will try to tell you that to cure our human ills,
To find a cure for cancer or to test arthritis pills,
We need to do our testing, on mice and dogs and cats,
And other little animals like guinea pigs and rats.
Well this is simply quite untrue as very soon you'll see,
'Cos what is safe for them to eat could poison you and me.
What's poison to a human, to a goat or to a cat,
Could be a tasty morsel to a guinea pig or rat.
Monkeys can eat strychnine, and guinea pigs can too,
Yet just a small amount would cause the death of me and you.
And belladonna's something that's as harmless as can be,
If you're a goat or rabbit, yet not for you and me.
Henbane is a poison to a man but not a snail,
Tho' digitalis helps our hearts, it may cause dog's to fail.
Morphine sends a man to sleep, and yet it wakes up cats,
And aspirin, safe for humans, causes birth defects in rats.
Thalidomide passed all the tests, on animals galore,
Yet caused bizarre deformities in babies by the score.
A migraine drug called Imetrex, caused heart attack and stroke,
And Zyban caused depression, and killed a lot of folk.
So clearly tests on animals, do nothing but mislead,
They simply hinder progress which is something we don't need.
It's surely time to end these tests along with all the pain,
And forge ahead with real research, enlightened and humane.

Name: Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus Selenarctos Thibetanus)
Often affectionately called Moon Bears, because of the beautiful yellow crescent moon found on the bears' chests.
Moon Bears have thick, shaggy black fur (which ranges in colour from ebony black to a lighter brown-black) and huge round ears. They also have short, strong claws which enable them to climb with ease.
At up to 220 kgs, males typically grow to approximately twice the size of females, which weigh 60-130 kgs in the wild. However, the females can often be dominant and can usually be distinguished by the thicker ruff of fur around their neck.
Moon Bears are typically four to six feet tall.
Moon Bears are found right across the Asian continent from Pakistan to Japan. They often live at high altitudes and prefer heavily forested areas.
Home territories are estimated to be between 4-8 miles.
Moon Bears are classified as carnivores, although they follow an omnivore diet. Their diet varies according to location and season, but predominantly consists of vegetables, fruits, nuts, insects, small mammals, birds and carrion. Occasionally, Moon Bears may attack livestock or raid crops.
Moon Bears are highly intelligent and have a large vocabulary, making clucking sounds during play, 'tut-tut-tut' sounds when cautious and huffing sounds when warning or about to attack. Females are more vocal than males.
Moon Bears tend to be solitary, crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) animals once they reach adulthood. They can survive for up to 35 years in captivity, though usually live for 25 -30 years in the wild.
Moon Bears love to den in hollow logs and caves and also sleep in trees. They often hibernate between November and March / April (although this can vary depending on their specific range.)
Moon Bears may also migrate and spend the warmer months of the year at higher altitudes and then descend to the lowlands during colder months.
Moon Bears tend to give birth to twins in April or May (but are also known to give birth earlier in hibernation) and although weaned by 4-6 months, the cubs stay with their mothers for the first two years of their life.
Moon Bears are the most valued bears for Traditional Medicine, most probably because the species was so abundant in the areas where Traditional Medicine originated. Their range extends from Iran to Japan and across South East Asia and it is estimated that there are as few as 25,000 left in the wild worldwide
