Ugly Truth about Botox

The Ugly Truth About Botox Photo gallery

Mice are kept in groups of up to eight in these small cages.

These mice were used in botox poisoning tests.

Mice were regularly found dead in the botox tests.

Many mice suffer and die in the poisoning tests.

Mice were killed by having their necks broken with a pen; sometimes their backs were broken instead.

Dead mice were sealed in plastic bags and discarded.

At the end of the test surviving mice were killed in this gas chamber.

The dead mice were tipped into a bin.

The test mice were kept in these small, barren cages.

Hundreds of mice were used each week in the poisoning tests.
