Animal Testing Inaccurate

Animal testing is always a behind closed doors situation. Most people are aware that it is happening yet never give it a second thought. An estimate of more then 115 million animals all around the world, including the most common mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys, are used in experiments every single year (“11 Facts About Animal Testing”, n.d.). And according to change.org the “USA spends $16 billion dollars annually for animal testing at tax payers' expense.” (“Sign the Petition”, n.d.)

Somewhere, in the United States, an animal is in terror. It cowers fearfully as scientists hold it down, and a doctor grips a massive, sharp needle next to its neck, ready to inject the animal with a lethal dose of a new, experimental drug. The animal is one of 26 million other creatures facing the same, painful, fate annually (The Hasting Center). Animal testing is the downfall of humanity, a practice of humans testing chemicals, drugs, and cosmetics on animals. Animal testing is an atrocity that is an unnecessary and dangerous ordeal to the subjects being tested on. The fact that it is cruel, is highly inaccurate, and that there are many other ways to achieve the results being pursued all

Animals can be burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused as a result of testing. And the list could go on forever. The way animals are being mistreated and tested on should be against the law. There is a different ways to do research other than killing and abusing animals. There are many alternate test that scientist can use to do there research without harming animals. Alternative test are defined as test that use the three “R’s”, a test that replaces a procedure that uses animals with one that doesn’t, a test that reduces the number of animals used in a procedure, and test that refine a procedure to cause less pain to the animal.(11 Facts about…)

Scientists have been using animals to test medical treatments that could be used on humans, if it does well with the animal. Testing on an animal could help find a new discovery, but it could also put the animal in danger. Over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year. A 2013 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) found that nearly 150 clinical trials of treatments to reduce inflammation in critically ill patients have been undertaken, and all of them failed, despite being successful in animal tests. Animals should not be used to test medical procedures and treatments that would be later on used for humans.

Animal testing - this issue is one of the most controversial issues discussed around the world today. Many argue that animal testing is inhumane, and that animals should no longer be used for testing. However, I strongly agree with the point that animal testing is, in fact, the best way to prove a product to be safe. In a survey done in the US, 99% of the active physicians thought that animal testing should be continued - for the present, no alternative for animal testing is accurate enough to replace it. Without animal testing, human beings themselves will become the subject of experiment. People should be aware that without any alternative in place, it would be the same as saying that human rights are less important than animal rights. Human beings desperately need animal testing for the development of cures as well as for the sake of civilisation.

Regardless of the devastating facts behind animal testing, supporters of using laboratory animals argue that without animal testing it would be hard for researchers to guarantee that drugs and medical procedures are safe for use on humans (“Update: Animal Testing”). They are ignoring the animals’ well-being. If scientists were dissecting live humans, people would be disgusted and call that murder. Animals and people may look different, but we are both living things. Animals are just unable to speak for themselves, so scientists choose to treat them like inanimate objects, as if their

It take a true moral person to see under the mask of animal experimentation. Animals are vital componet to the world today, and should not be confined into a lab where they do not belong. The experiments cause misery and no animal should go through that type of cruelty. Some people's moral character can be tested when they do these test. These animals have no voice, so people need to speak up for them. The actual animal test is almost inferior to the alternatives, making a lot of people question, "why do we even use animals?" Testing and experimentation is unjust and cruel to put animals

Every year, ten to one hundred million animals are tested on. Rats and mice were two-thirds of that total. In addition to that there are one hundred and eighty thousand dogs, fifty five thousand cats, five hundred thousand rabbits, a similar number of guinea pigs, and sixty thousand primates. With these numbers why still test on animals? Animal testing needs to stop. It is wrong. These animals are dying from neglect and harsh conditions. Animal testing is not even one hundred percent accurate! People have talked about the pain and the conditions they had lived in during the breeding experiments during World War Two. Again, why is animal testing still a thing?

1. There are many alternatives to animal testing, these methods are not only cheaper and faster but also effective in predicting human health. In some cases, animal tests are not even effective, since their biology is completely different from ours, so it doesn’t make sense to keep using them. But replacing animal experiments for these methods may take a long time to happen. 2.

Did you know that over a hundred million animals get injured or die due to animal testing? But when you think about is it actually legal? So the thing is it doesn’t matter what we think because there are people who want themselves to live a better life then the animals and they do experimentation on the animals just so humans can live a better life. And there are a lot of animals who die due to suffering in laboratories across the world, apparently it’s legal and people seem to not care about it. Some people say animals aren’t equal to humans and some say they are, so who to believe? But it still

The method of using animals for testing of human products has been a controversial issue for the last thirty years. Animal testing has been a considerably debated practice. The question is whether animal testing is morally right or wrong. Animal testing is wrong because of the other side says that animals are the closest things to humans. Testing on animals harms the animals and does not do us any good.

For years, the French cosmetic company L’Oréal has coined the slogan, “Because you’re worth it.” However, a look behind the scenes of the cosmetic industry as a whole begs the question: is it really worth it? Over a hundred million animals ranging from mice, rats, rabbits, primates, cats, and dogs, are locked in laboratories across the U.S. and are subjected to chemical, food, cosmetic, and medical tests for human benefit (“Animal Testing 101”). Many of these animals are severely mistreated, and bear the pain of procedures gone wrong. On the flip side, products and medicines have been made safer and more reliable due to the positive contributions of laboratory tests. The issue has sparked over the last several years, leading many people to

Other people believe that animal testing is good. We don’t want to use animals, but we don’t have any other options. According to the article by Noah Berlatsky, “Today, one can even become a board-certified surgeon without harming any animals.” So we don’t have any other options for animals testing. If we didn’t use animals, we’d have to test new drugs on people. Noah Berlatsky also says that, “Animal experiments don't persist because they are the best science, they persist because of experimenters' personal biases and archaic

Throughout history, prisoners have been used in scientific and medical research. Some experimentations being very cruel. Recently scientists have turned to animals as test subjects for different types of experiments involving medicines and cures to diseases. Scientist started to realize that animals weren’t the right test subjects; and tuned to human beings. They could not help with every experiment that wanted to be tested. Animals were proven not to be reliable for safety testing and disease research. Animal experimentations fail due to the effects of the environment where the research is done and the outcomes, the great differences of animal diseases compared to human diseases, and the difference in the physiology and genetics (Karron).

This article sums up the fact that we should move away from, but not completely get rid of animal testing. Since about the 1950’s until 2013 the public support of animal testing has dropped about 33%. That number is expected to continually drop with younger generations, not just because of compassion and ethics, but because of the scientific community striving for improvement. One of the main problems with animal testing is that while humans and other animals may be similar, they are not the same. Because of this, side effects are missed, money is wasted, and still, there is only an 8% chance of a new chemical entity being approved for humans. Even with such a small percentage, animal testing is still required. To break away from animal testing
