Animal Experimentation ( Ae )

Approximately 225 million animals are used for testing every year. Billions have been killed in the process. ("Questions and Answers About Biomedical Research.”) How can this be allowed? Isn’t it cruel to use animals to test products for humans? Many animal rights activists say, “yes” to this question. However, scientists argue it is necessary and animal research can help save human lives. There are probable arguments for both sides. But the dangers of using animals to test products for human use weighs an even greater risk than not using the animals. Alternatives are much more ethical.

For many years, the field of science has used animals in medical experiments worldwide, because of this innocent animals are being killed everyday. They are being tested with new drugs, new treatments, and by many makeup companies. Connecticut recently celebrated the passage of the “Beagle Freedom Law”, a law that requires laboratories to work with charities and rescue groups to find homes for research cats and dogs. Animals are being tested so humans do not have to be but animal tests do not reliably predict results in human beings, although animals are the closest thing to humans. Most experiments involving animals are flawed, wasting the lives of innocent animal subjects. Over 100 million animals suffer a year from testing. Testing animals is a lot more expensive than alternative methods and it is wasting government research dollars. Animal testing is not only a bad idea, but it is also inhuman and it should not be tolerated. The FDA should stop allowing animal testing. An animal does not give out the same results on a test than a human would.

Millions of helpless animals every year like rats, rabbits, dogs, monkeys and several more species are cruelly tested on, in horrible conditions. Animals should be able to roam free and live a healthy life looking after their young, but all their life consists of is sitting in filth and terrible pain waiting in fear of what brutal test will be done to them next. Anything that is tested on any animal that brings agonising pain to them is ethically and morally wrong, and should to be put to a complete stop immediately. Experiments are performed on animals to test a variety of things like new medicines that are being developed and to test how safe different products are. Things ranging from cosmetics, cleaning products, food additives, pharmaceuticals and chemicals are forcefully tested on animals.

Have you ever wondered why animals are used in experimentation? Each year over 100 million are killed due to experiments for biology lessons, medical training, chemical, drug, food, cosmetic testing, and curiosity driven experimentation. The better question is why? Why use animal when there are many alternatives. Animals may not be able to speak up for themselves but humans have a voice for them. Many people have participated in protest, taken surveys, and created organizations to protect animals from the cruelty.

Imagine being locked up in a cage having chemicals rubbed, injected and force fed into you. Over 1,000,000,000 animals per year suffer rashes, cuts, burns, infections, loneliness and even death. This is due to animal cruelty or testing. It should be illegal to test on animals. You should be able to adopt an animal after the lab is thru with it.

Ninety five percent of the animals experimented on in America are not protected under the Animal Welfare Act. (Hoffman 1). This leaves the majority of animal’s rights unprotected and vulnerable. The animals may be subjected to things such as: “testing drugs , infecting with diseases, poisoning, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming and blinding, long-term social isolation, electric shocks, and the withholding of food and water” (Animals in Science/Research 1). The experimentation of animals should be banned because it is unethical, unreliable, and has an extremely low ratio of the number of experiments to amount of success they lead to.

Over 100 million animals get burned, crippled, poisoned and abused in United States labs every year. Animal experimentation or commonly known as animal testing, is where scientists test their chemicals and products on animals to make sure it is safe for human use. Animal testing should be used because it's not only harming the animals it's costing a lot of money and animal lives.Animal testing should not be used because it harms the animals. Some tests involve killing pregnant animals to test on their fetuses. ¨Many of the tests performed on animals in the name of science, opponents maintain, are downright barbaric, rendering their subjects damaged and disfigured.¨ (Animal testing: Is animal testing morally justified?)With the amount of tests being performed

These animal experiments are not only preformed in scientific labs but also in hospitals and colleges. Although we may not think of animals as having the same feelings and human, they do indeed share very similar traits. Animals feel a sense of hopelessness, terror, pain, and torture much like humans. This makes it inhumane to even consider using these animals as test subjects for our own benefits. These animals have no say in what we do to them or even how they feel. This to me plays a major role in why we use animals. These animals have no voice to tell that they are hurting from these experiments. To make the condition of this practice worse, these experiments are not only used to find medical solutions that can save human lives but they are widely used in cosmetics testing (Food and Drug Administration 47). After the animals have served their main purpose they are left senselessly to die.

Innocence has been taken away from animals. Misused and mistreated lives have been lost to experimentation. They don’t deserve to suffer for human benefits. Animal testing is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study. There are two types of animal testing one is bio medical which investigates diseases in human bodies and the second one is consumer products which basically compares and identifies products. People who are with animal testing believe it is beneficial to the human race and people who are against it believe it is immoral. Even though some

Animal experimentation has been a topic of debate for many years, About 1.4 million animals die each year from animal testing. The harsh ways animals are treated during testing, is the cause of their death. People have different feelings for animals, many look at animals as pets and others can view animals for experimental research. The fact is that animals are being exploited by research facilities and cosmetics companies all around the world. Even though humans can benefit from successful animal research, the pain, the suffering, and the deaths of animals are not worth the possible human benefits. Animal testing should be illegal because in this process animals are being tortured and killed, alternative testing methods have been made, and

The tension between animal rights and medical/cosmetic research is an extreme issue in today’s society. Every day millions of mice, rats, rabbits, primates, cats, dogs, and other animals are locked inside cold, barren cages in laboratories across the country. They languish in pain, ache with loneliness, and long to roam free and use their minds, but all they can do is sit and wait in fear of the next terrifying, painful procedure that will be performed on them next. Animal Research is a very well known act and has been around for some time. Most of the advancements in the 20th century are because of animals. Many of the products we use each day from medicines to household products are tested generally on animals. Many people around the world think animal research is the right thing to do because of the benefits humans may receive from it. Humans often benefit from successful animal research, although, the pain, the suffering, and the deaths of animals are not worth the possible human benefits. Animals and people are alike in many ways; they feel, think, behave, and experience pain. Animal testing is by far the most heartless act anyone could preform; it is inhumane; there are other alternatives and results are not necessarily reliable.

Don’t we all have rights? Believe it or not animals have rights, just like humans. It is inhumane to tamper with the lives of animals. Animals have no idea what’s going on when experimentation is happening. We should nurture and care for the animals, not pick and poke, and inject substances into them. It’s not right. No one should want to harm a poor helpless bunny, just see if the mascara is perfect enough for the human eyes. Animal experimentation is a selfish act, humans are only thinking of themselves. Even though some scientist believe animals experimentation is necessary to ensure product safety, scientist shouldn’t be able to test products on animals, animals are delicate creatures, there are many other ways products can be tested without using animals and animals aren’t the best test subject.

Animal experimentation has been credited for the medicines made to assist diabetes, vaccines for smallpox, deep brain stimulation for parkinson’s disease, and many more along with millions of dollars spent on failed experiments, millions of animal deaths a year, misleading data and an overall bigger loss than gain. The main point of animal testing is to benefit the safety and overall health of humans, but testing on non humans to learn about humans doesn’t contribute to the cause. Humans have the voice protective of their own lives and demand rights, though every living creature deserves the right to life and to safety. The way these animals are being treated is heinous and insulting to the human race, as it subsides our morals and some

Animals around the world are being used in research to develop new medicines and for scientists to test the safety of the medicines. Not only that, numerous cosmetics items, such as mascara, are being tested on animals. Animals can’t give informed consent and the vast majority of experiments using animals are so invasive and damaging, that we would never even consider allowing humans to being subject to such experiments. The pharmaceutical industry spends a significant amount of time conducting research on animals which is carried out by forcing the animals into a life of servitude, pain, and neglect. I strongly believe that animal testing should be abolished because the cruelty
