12 of the Cruelest CEOs That Profit From The Suffering Of Animals
American Laws Regarding Animal Cruelty Are A Joke, Demand SEVERE Penalties For Companies and Individuals that Practice Diabolic Depravity
Pharmaceutical firms, chemical companies, contract testing facilities, and some cosmetics manufacturers are bad news for millions of animals locked in their laboratories. But when it comes to cruelty, some cause even more pain and misery than others.
To name the worst of the worst, we've looked at the number of animals the companies killed, the most painful and invasive experiments conducted, how far they lag behind industry animal protection standards, their refusal to use available non-animal test methods, and their appalling histories of federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations.
12. Martin J. Barrington, Altria (parent company of Philip Morris)
For decades, Big Tobacco used misleading tests on animals?and ignored what was clear from studies on humans?to claim that cigarettes were not harmful to human health. These days, Philip Morris, the number one cigarette manufacturer in the U.S., continues to abuse and kill animals voluntarily to develop new ingredients and products even though the tests are not required, superior non-animal methods exist, and the health risks of tobacco are well known.
11. Scott Marshall, Marshall Farms Group Ltd.
Marshall Farms is one of the world's largest breeders of beagles, ferrets, minipigs, and hound dogs for sale to experimentation laboratories. The company also sells blood, blood products, and tissue derived from animals. With facilities in the U.S., Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, and India, Marshall is a global purveyor of misery and death.
10. Ian C. Read, Pfizer
Every year, Pfizer subjects huge numbers of animals to cruel and lethal experiments. In 2011, Pfizer experimented on nearly 50,000 animals?including 2,557 dogs, 1,159 primates, 452 cats, 7,076 guinea pigs, 31,560 hamsters, 5,512 rabbits, 1,680 gerbils, and 161 horses?in its own laboratories. More than 15,000 of these animals were forced to endure painful experiments, and more than 6,000 were denied pain relief. These numbers don't even include mice and rats or any of the animals tormented for Pfizer experiments in contract testing laboratories.
9. Alexandre de Juniac, Air France
While not a testing laboratory itself, Air France is one of the last airlines in the world to still accept blood money to transport primates to deadly fates in laboratories. Each year, it ships some of the tens of thousands of nonhuman primates who are ripped from their homes in the wild or bred on squalid monkey factory farms and flown around the world to be abused and killed in cruel and painful experiments.

Corporations already are allowed to get away with every kind of criminal vice imaginable without real consequences. Take a stand for defenseless animals and demand that Congress draft laws that severely punish Corporations and Individuals who profit and/or enjoy such
