used for many animals after painful tests (Gale). Animal Testing has become a growing concern and it needs to stop. Humans can use human simulators, they can research on human volunteers, and can use computer modeling to help stop animal testing. As a result of animal testing, innocent animals are dying; therefor a ban is necessary. First of all animal experimentation is to be thought to be a modern day practice but humans have been learning from animals since prehistoric times. In Animal Experimentation
Animal Welfare Act Casandra Sasaki Eagle High School Abstract The Animal Welfare Act, passed in 1966, establishes guidelines for the protection of animals used for research and other purposes, defines the requirements for facilities housing those animals, and outlines the procedures for inspection and maintenance of those facilities by government entities. This paper explores the pros and cons of the act as well as the effectiveness of the guidelines and their enforcement. Finally, it
Although animal testing was a main component for the facilitation of medical research in the past, it is no longer necessary due to the option of alternate testing methods. Animals that fall victim to the mercy of animal research are subject to experimentation for the purpose of manufacturing harmless products (McKnight 2). Cell cultures, the MIMIC system, TraumaMan, in vitro, and human volunteers are substitutes for this inhumane procedure (Sullivan 4; “PCRM Scientists Educate” 10). Animal testing is
Animal Testing Animals all over the world are being mistreated and abused, what have we done to help them? Over many years animal testing has developed life saving techniques. Though it has taken the lives of over 2.6 million animals lives just in the us alone. Animal testing is a growing issue throughout the entire world, not only is it affecting the lives of the animals, but the people who use the products too. It may not physically be hurting them, but more so emotionally. The moral issue is that
26 million animals are being tested on yearly. Animal testing has helped humanity in many ways ever since it started about 2,500 years ago. Cures have been created for many viruses and sicknesses but it has come with a cost to the animals. Animals are being put in horrendous living conditions that often cause them anxiety and pain. People in favor of animal of animal testing argue that we should keep testing on animals to further scientific research, while those against animal testing believe that
else’s entertainment. We have all seen those ASPCA commercials showing depressing pictures of beaten and starved animals asking for help, yet animal cruelty/abuse is still a major problem. Even though on average, 1,920 animal cruelty cases are reported in the media each year, thousands of cases are unreported or unnoticed by the public (Animal Cruelty Facts and Stats). Regardless of animal cruelty being a felony which can result in jail time and thousands of dollars in fines, it is still something
introduction Testing animals has been going on since 500 bc. Testing on animals is extremely wrong and not a good procedure to do. Animal testing is done on 26 million animals a year. Because so many animals are tested on each year, more money is wasted than the government researches dollars, many animals have died over the years. 87% of the studies have killed animals More money is wasted than the government researches money.”unscheduled DNA synthesis animal testing cost 32,000
I. Every year, over 100 million animals sit in U.S laboratories waiting to be burned, crippled, poisoned and abused (“11 Facts about Animal Testing” par.1). a. Animals deserve the same security and wellbeing as humans and therefore should not be subjected to that kind of neglect and abuse. b. Animals that are a part of some kind of new medication research rarely make it out alive. In fact, 92% of experimental drugs that are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials because they
“Breakthroughs Might Mean the End of Animal Testing” if a product or chemical is safe for animals, only 8% of those products will work on humans.(John Ericson 1) Animals have been used for testing for thousands of years, due to their similarities with humans. Over the years public support has significantly decreased. The cruel practice has sparked controversy and needs to be stopped. Animal testing is used throughout the U.S which is why it needs to be banned. If animal testing was banned worldwide, it would
Animal experimentation is a process involving the immoral and unethical treatment of animals in order to test the toxicity of a new product prior to its public release. The online biology dictionary describes it in the following manner: ‘’ Animal experimentation is the use of animals in experiments and development projects usually to determine toxicity, dosing and efficacy of test drugs before proceeding to human clinical trials.’’ (Biology Online/Dictionary/Animal testing) Throughout history
