Animal Experimentation And Animal Testing

Animal testing is cruel and an inhumane way to torture animal for mankind’s own benefit. There have been millions of animal that have suffered a vicious, painful death in the name of research. Just as Peter Singer asked in his book Animal Liberation “Would experimenters

There is many reasons why the opposing viewpoint find animal testing to be an effective method. Many would argue that animal testing has contributed too many cures for illness’s and treatments that are life-saving. In an experiment done in dogs eventually led directly to the discovery of insulin, which is critical to saving the lives of

Animal experimentation also known as animals 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 (Wikipedia). Animal experimentation is a highly controversial topic as many debate between whether it is ethical to use animals for such experiments or research and if the use of animals is really necessary. Many argue that there are other methods that we can use to test out certain studies and products while others argue that the use of animals is crucial because it is inhumane to use people. I personally feel that we need to use animals for animal experimentation for many reasons such as there just isn’t a functioning system quite the same as ours, everyone including animals has benefitted from the tests and many other reasons that will be further discussed. But I do however, feel that animals should be treated better and put in better living conditions prior to being experimented on. I understand both sides of the argument and am prepared to advocate for both sides in this paper.

An estimated 26 million animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing (PROCON.ORG, 2015) and More than 4 million animals are experimented on inside British laboratories in 2012 (ANIMAL AID, 2014). Killing animals by laboratory experiments generates a lot of anxiety about the future of wildlife, which led to the writing of this essay. In the beginning of this essay, It will discuss both Points of View against testing on animals. After that it will demonstrate review of cruelty and brutality suffered by the experimental animals. It will then focus on the alternative methods and finally It will be shown that testing on animals is out of date. In spite of the practice of experimenting on live animals gives

The first documented case of animal experimentation was in 1628, meaning that it has been around for almost four-hundred years. Animal experimentation is a disgusting form of torturing poor, helpless creatures, just for science. Over one-hundred million animals are killed every year due to animal experimentation. Although animal experimentation has been around for a very long time, it is time to make a better future for these poor creatures. Animals should not be used for any type of experimentation. It affects the creature mentally, physically, and internally. Also the alternatives for animal experimentation are endless, and many animals die unjustified.

Animal testing has been a controversial issue for decades as many claim that it is cruel and unnecessary while others insist that it is unavoidable in the process on ensuring human health. I support the former viewpoint for a variety of reasons.

Various studies have been conducted concerning the health and welfare of animal test subjects and how products are tested on them. Many believe that the testing of animals is a beneficial achievement to our modern world. While others feel that the killings of millions of animals every year is not only inhumane but that it is detrimental to our developing world. Although the tests that are conducted on animals are greatly flawed, if methods of testing were to improve, it would increase the benefit for not only humans but for animals as well.

It is believed that animal experimentation is needed in order to benefit from the results and improve in the medical field. However, in reality, most of the experiments do not aid in making much progress in human health. A considerable reason would be the differences between animals and humans.

Animal Experimentation for scientific research is a contentious issues and the subject of much debate. On one hand it is considered morally wrong to use animal solely for human benefit. On the other hand, removing animals, completely from the lab would impede any understanding of health, disease and consequently affect the development of new and vital treatments. Two essential questions needed to be asked is does it work and is it ethical?

Animal experiments or laboratory animal science have been a popular controversial issue. Since the seventeenth century, there are debates on the ethics of animal testing. The ultimate goal of the development of laboratory animal science, that is, through the animal studies of the phenomenon of life itself, and then push the use of human, explore the mysteries of human life, control of human diseases and aging and prolong human life. Nowadays, Animal experiments are permitted in many countries. In the other hand, there are also many dissenting voices. They said animal testing is ‘inhumane’. It is too cruel and has potentially dangerous to human beings and Ecosystem. However, Animal experiments are generally used in the development and testing of new medicines. It is estimated worldwide that the number of vertebrate animals using for animal experiments ranges from the tens of millions to more than 100 million used annually. And Animal experiment had made a great contribution in the field of science,

Advocates of animal experimenting believe that animals should be used for the advancement of humans. They believe that is ethical and uncruel to animals. Many also believe that animals don’t have rights due to the fact that they are inferior to the human kind. They also dispute that animal research is a great method towards the advancement of medicine and has contributed greatly over the past years. Lastly, they assume

Animal experimentation by scientists can be cruel and unjust, but at the same time it can provide long term benefits for humanity. Animals used in research and experiments have been going on for 2,000 years and keep is going strong. It is a widely debated about topic all over the world. Some say it is inhuman while others say it’s for the good of human kind. There are many different reasons why people perform experiments and why others total disagree with it.

Throughout the years research centers have been using animals as a base of study. They have genetically modified conditions for animals in order to gain knowledge for treatments or human diseases. Animal experimentation is the use of non-human animals in experiments that are controlled by variables that can affect the animals biologically. The animals are used to test makeup products, drug products, or curiosity-driven experimentation. These are only a couple of areas where animals are used for the personal gain of another species. Throughout the years more people have argued about animal experimentation being ethical. The reason why it has become such a big issue is because of how social media has grown throughout the years now people can search what really happens to animals who are experimented on.The real question is whether animal experimentation is necessary. Depending on people's beliefs some may say that it is necessary for the advancement of the human race,but others may say it is not necessary need because of other factors that contribute into it and for me personally animal experimentation is not a necessary option we have to take because of the endless possibilities of other things. ,

Observation and experimentation are how we as humans have been able to learn more about ourselves and the world and universe we live in. One of the most common methods of experimentation is animal testing. However, there are controversies surrounding animal testing. There are some that believe animal testing to be cruel and overdone, advocating for the eradication of the practice and further reliance alternative research methods. Groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and other animal rights advocates fall in this category. There are some that believe animal testing to be an invaluable resource and should continue, such as some scientists and research groups. However, there appears to me to be a consensus that is closer to the middle: the belief and understanding that while there are benefits to animal testing, there are flaws in the practice and there should be changes to increase its efficacy while we simultaneously explore alternate testing methods. Many scientists and the National Institute of Health (NIH) subscribe to this idea. I aim to explore the benefits, problems, and implications of animal testing in order to reach a more informed conclusion about a position that is most validated by the information I have used.
