Target: David A. Ricks, CEO of Eli Lilly
Goal: Stop putting small animals through torturous experimentation.
Mice, hamsters, and other animals are being dropped into beakers filled up with water and forced to swim so they do not drown in a test conducted by Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company. This “forced to swim test” involves dosing these small animals with substances, and many activist groups are urging its ban. The test is meant to bring scientific clarity on human depression, but PETA claims these poor creatures are “forced to swim for their lives.”
Many other pharmaceutical companies have banned this test after it was discredited by scientists. The test was heavily criticized because they believe floating is not a sign of depression, therefore it will not help in the studies towards it. This experimentation is tortuous and cruel.
Sign below and join so many scientists and activists in making sure the “forced to swim test” is banned by all.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Ricks,
After scientists have discredited the “forced to swim test” and activists have spoken up about how cruel it is, it is time to ban it. Many other pharmaceutical companies have banned this experiment from going on in their labs. The test is animal abuse and must not be done anymore. It is time to follow the steps of the other companies and listen to scientists. We demand Eli Lilly immediately ban the “forced to swim test.”
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

People who abuse animals are punished go to jail and pay fines and I never allowed to own animals again. So why do these jerks get away with doing the same torturous things and nobody stops it and nobody has to pay for it by going to prison. They all should be arrested and spend time in prison in pay heavy fines. What’s the difference between them getting paid for it and the ones that do it for fun also.
FROM WHAT I SEE THIS WORLD IS FULL OF BASTARDS WHO ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH MURDER BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE HAS YET BEEN BORN WITH ENOUGH BALLS TO LOCK THEM UP FOR LIFE
Agree !!! Its a sad sad world….
These animals deserve to live out their lives free of harm in their natural habitats.
Dear Mr. Ricks,
WILL YOU PLEASE ADVOCATE THAT THE “forced to swim test” BE BANNED FOR GOOD?
THANK YOU!
Disgusting and immoral abuse of innocent animals. There is not a viable reason to do this. It proves nothing. Of course they will die. How dare these animal abusers get paid for providing torture. Close down these places and actually these people should be prosecuted.
Please stop this and all animal testing!!
STOP ALL CRUEL ANIMAL TESTINGS AND EXPERIMENTS ON ALL ANIMALS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
Use the prisoners on death row.
It is & barbaric unnecessary. Stop torturing animals. If you want to test, test on people. Pay people that would volunteer to get various tests done on them. Products/illnesses that are meant for humans should be tested on humans. Leave all animals alone
This is disgusting.
I think these people who do “research” like this are really sadistic jerks who have found a way to satisfy their saditic tendencies and get grants for doing it in a socially “acceptable” way. Well, it SHOULD NOT be socially “acceptable.”
I will do my best to avoid any products put out by Eli Lilly Co.
What kind of psychopaths work in laboratories where they torture and kill small, innocent animals. I have read many times that these people are cruel and mock the animals and mistreat them and neglect to care for them properly. If these people have no humanity, then they should not be allowed to continue with their animal abuse.
Cruel assholes fund and carry out absolutely USELESS unconscionable experiments on animals. I think they do it just to keep funding their own pockets at the animals expense.
Eli Lilly is a pack of the most ARROGANT SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!
Eli Lilly is the most disgusting company on this planet.
Human Lowlife Scum, BURN IN HELL FOREVER!!!!
Subject these bastards to forced to swim test!!!!
The places that perform these ignorant and horrible experiments on animals need to be shut down. Or, use animal ABUSERS for the experiments. We are an ugly nation in so many ways. I am not surprised that so many horrible things take place in our world today. So many people have no hearts or souls.
SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A MORAL COMPANY. YOU ALL KNOW THIS IS SO VERY, CRUEL, WICKED AND EVIL AND MUST STOP NOW.
IF ONE OF YOU HAD A BACKBONE, YOU WOULD LISTEN TO THE CONSCIENCE YOU ALL HAVE AND SAY NO TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY ANIMALS EXPERIMENTS, THEN YOU COULD SAY YOU WERE A DECENT HUMAN BEING, BUT NO YOU CANT, NOT ONE OF YOU. JUST THE SAME LAME EXCUSES FOR HUMANS HIDING BEHIND YOUR NAMES AND JOBS. YOU ARE GROSS, PATHETIC EXCUSES AND COULD LEARN SUCH A LOT FROM HOW ANIMALS BEHAVE.
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU INVOLVED IN SUCH CRUELTY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT AT ALL, EVER, TO DO THIS. YOU DISGUST ME AND SO MANY OTHERS.
SHAME ON YOU AND I WOULDNT WANT YOUR KARMA, YOU MADE IT, YOU WILL REAP IT FOR SURE….YOU DESERVE IT.
It’s simple. This is a cruel experiment to these poor animals. These animals are filled with fear. Domestic terrorists will do the same to their victims so what does that make you Eli Lily?
Also makes them satanists.
Poor innocent creatures suffer because of cruel psychopaths. Too many drugs and too many companies making too much money!
Stop this cruel atrocity on these little suffering creatures!
Stop this cruel atrocity on these little suffering creatures! This experiments are done only so that big companies can keep making money. It’s clearly animal abuse!!!
