Black and white photo of two hugging monkeys in a lab experiment cage. Their embrace and wide eyes personify the monkeys and their emotions. Though far fewer animals are used in laboratory settings than those destined for food, such experiments often result in animal deaths. Spanish figures show that in 2016, approximately 910,000 animals were used for experimentation, of which only 8,500 were reclaimed. While most animal experiments are for medical testing, others are used to test different products before commercial distribution, like cosmetics. This sticker advocates for individuals to account for the mistreatment of animals in experiments and asks viewers to boycott products and companies that contribute to or incorporate such practices. “Víctimas del progreso-Crímes de Estado” is not an official organization, but rather a phrase common among Spanish anarchists. The red logo with the A within a circle indicates anarchist ideologies.
