1/2 Today on #HorseshoeCrabDay, we are raising awareness about #horseshoecrabs in #pharmaceutical testing. These "living fossils" are bred, then bled live for a clotting agent found in their blue blood, which is used for testing drugs.

NEW: For the 1st time in decades, after @thestate started investigating Charles River Labs in Feb '21, the company & its harvesters will face climbing restrictions to the bleeding process in South Carolina. So the company has moved north for more blood: tinyurl.com/yr7rvd8w
