Der sogenannte „Forced Swim Test“ (erzwungener Schwimmtest) ist ein weit verbreiteter – jedoch völlig nutzloser – Tierversuch. Experimentatoren setzen Mäuse, Ratten, Meerschweinchen, Hamster oder Rennmäuse in ein mit Wasser gefülltes Behältnis, aus dem sie nicht entkommen können. 😱🐭 Unterzeichne JETZT die Petition: www.PETA.de/Forced-Swim-Test | PETA Deutschland

This is the forced swim test, also known as the “despair test”. It’s supposed to provide insights into human depression, but most scientists now agree it’s not fit for this purpose. Forcing frantic animals to swim in an inescapable cylinder of water is both physically and psychologically abusive, not to mention completely irrelevant to human depression. Help us ban this cruel and useless test now 👉 https://secure.peta.org.au/page/119771/action/1 | PETA Australia
