Animal Testing Is Necessary For Human Survival

Animal testing is not only beneficial to human but also animals, at least to those who are not used in the experiments, such as pets and endangered species. Along with researching for new treatments and medicines for

Animal testing is a common practice in current life that is necessary to ensure the safety of the humans that will be using the tested product. There are many good and bad aspects of animal testing, but the pros clearly outweigh the cons. Animal testing has been around since ancient times when animals were dissected to gain knowledge about the body and organs. The animals killed from animal testing make up a tiny percentage of the total animals killed every year. When just considering the animals used for food compared to the animals used for testing, testing animals make up a mere 2.6 percent of that number. Public safety far outweighs the lives of the small amount of animals killed.

There are countless reasons why I would personally get rid of animal testing. Just like everything there are advantages and disadvantages. For example the internet is advantageous because you can find useful information about your city, your homework and much more, however it can be used for the wrong use too such as adult sites, online drug dealing and hacking.

Imagine this, you and a big group of people are stuck in the desert and there's no water in sight.You send a young man to look for water in the burning hot sun.He finds a lifesaving amount of water miles from everyone else .Then he brings it back to the people saving their lives but risking his own.Even though the man's life was risked, you saved more people than you hurt.This is what animal testing does.Animal testing saves thousands of lives every single day.

Animal testing is arrogant and incredibly cruel. Like us, animals can feel pain and fear ,but also excitement and satisfaction. Close contact with animals shows that they look forward to some extents ,and can clearly get a lot of enjoyment from their lives ,from basking in the sun ,exercising ,or eating their favorite food. Therefore having an animal used for testing can ruin its life by not experiencing what other animals go through. Animals are way happy when they can enjoy and roam around freely. Taking wild animals from their habitat for science testing can effective the wildlife population ,because it can mess up the wildlife

“Mice are mice, and people are people. If we look at the mouse to model every aspect of disease for man, and to model cures, we are just wasting our time” - Dr. Clif Barry. Testing on animals can be dangerous for the animal that is being tested on. The amount of money that is sent to laboratories in the U.S.A. is outrageously high. Animal testing is not only terrible, but is unreliable more than half the time. Animal testing should not continue to be legal.

Animal testing is still necessary because it is the quickest way to test  vaccines for deadly diseases.  Many people think scientists should just test on people instead of helpless animals.  If they did that there could be chance the person dying during the experiment. Also, animals have shorter life spans,  so    long-term side effects would appear faster than a humans side effects would.

According to Hajar animal testing has been used for a long period of time as early as “ Early Greek physician-scientists, such as Aristotle, (384 – 322 BC) and Erasistratus, (304 – 258 BC), performed experiments on living animals.” This not only shows how long animal testing has been around it also shows us how crucial it has been for everyone even thousands of years ago. Animals used for testing are important in developing cures for people. Animal testing has been and will continue to be a crucial part of the human society to keep humans healthy as well as other animals. I believe that animal testing is a part of human society and most definitely should continue to be used. There have been disabilities that controlled many people for centuries however with animal testing fighting off these horrific incidents has brought people hope to become healthy once again as well as a future. Continued animal testing is ethically the lesser of two evils, allowing disease to be understood and for the emergence of viable solutions to help human survivability. Animal testing has given people the ability to fight off deadly diseases, tumors, as well as have the ability to overcome blindness.

Many people believe that animal testing is cruel and unnecessary, but I think that it’s extremely important. Animals should be used for commercial and scientific testing because they are the most similar creature to humans, it also assures safety for humans before using the products and helps to find medical treatments.

Animal testing soon started to become a necessity after many scientists started to test with them. Everyone seemed to be glad that there was a new and improved way to test for disease. In the late 1800s, many people began to speak out. Great Britain also passed out the Animal cruelty act. Animal testing has begun to evolve as time passed by, but has become more of a tradition instead of a reliable source for testing. In the 1950s, scientists began to test for anesthetics. 1965 was when the polio vaccine came out. Dolly the sheep was a clone, the first ever animal clone. She was created in 1996, and died a few years later. Animal testing has come a long way and is full of history, but that doesn’t mean we need to continue

Specifically talking about animal welfare, I will identify and provide additional information proving why this is not a problem in vaccine testing. To start, animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments. One source, The California Biomedical Research Association states that almost every major medical breakthrough in the last 150 years has resulted directly from research using animals. Specifically talking about Poliomyelitis, the vaccine which was tested on animals reduced the global occurrence of the disease from 350,000 cases in 1988 to 223 cases in 2012. Another reason why animal testing is a necessary occurrence is because there is no other alternative. Even the most complex computers can not accurately simulate the path the vaccine will take and the effect it will have on the body. This is why we need to be able to try these vaccines on animals first, especially those vaccines that are not approved for human

In conclusion there is no need for animal testing. Animals have rights too; even if they can't think as complex as we can. Also, there might be a little more money involved if humans try alternate methods, but even some tests waste money, due to the gene difference between animals and humans. There are also many other methods that do not involve pain and suffering.

About 3.02 million animals are used in Canada for experiments for biology lessons, medical training, chemicals, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. Pew Research Center had done a survey and found out that 50 percent of U.S. adults are against the use of animals in scientific research (Pew Research Center 2015).While animal testing is used to see if medication or other products would work on humans, it is unnecessary due to 94% of products that have worked on animals but have failed to show any sign in humans.In today’s world. testing on animals is unnecessary.One reason of way it is unnecessary is because there are now new methods that exist that can be used to test products. Secondly, alternative methods are cheaper then testing products on

From newborns to the elderly many different vaccines, prescriptions and procedures are prescribed or done throughout life. Thanks to medical research diseases such as smallpox, polio and much worse are no longer threatening the nation. Although the process is long and costly without taking these risks new medical findings would not be accomplished. Animal research has been used in a variety of different ways, but is very effective in the medical field. In the world of scientific studies medical animal testing should be accepted because it provides research for diseases, surgical procedures, cures and much more. Not only does animal testing provide research but it benefits all of mankind, not just certain people and saves a lot of time. Without animal research baby Jack may never live to experience his first birthday, mama Lynn may never live to see her first born get married, or even graduate. Animal testing for medical research prolongs and saves lives.

Animal testing is an issue that people have been talking about for many years. There are many people who believe it is good for expanding our knowledge on human health and many people who believe it is cruel and inhumane. It expands our knowledge about vaccines and treatments for disorders and diseases. Although animals make good test subjects, certain drugs that perform well on animals, do not perform well on humans. Despite the fact that animal testing is cruel and not always very accurate, tragic events have occurred when scientists have not experimented on animals. There are several beneficial things about animal testing and there are also several problems with it.
