Animal Testing On Dogs

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.

Animal tests do not reliably predict results in human beings. A study from ProCon.org stated that, “94% of drugs that pass animal tests fail in human clinical trials.” This shows that testing on animals may not be as helpful as it may seem. It is not useful to test on animals when there still must be even more tests to make sure that the medical treatments are safe since the animal tests are not accurate. The tests need to be accurate to know that the medical treatment works well

Side effects on humans has become a major problem with animal testing. Studies by now have proven that some medication that are done with animal testing would work great on the animals but would failed on humans. 79% of doctors have stated that some side effects on humans cannot be curable. According to Animal Aid “Thousands of chimpanzees have been used in be curable. Useless experiments to find a cure for

Hey you, yea you. Ever heard of animal testing? Well if you didn’t animal testing refers to procedures performed on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology, and diseases, assessing the effectiveness of new medical products, and testing the human health and/or environmental safety of consumer and industry products such as cosmetics, household cleaners, food additives, pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals. So basically test human products on animals. Now my perspective on this is that animal testing is wrong and I will tell you why. I believe it is wrong because it is animal cruelty. They are held against their will. While I am telling you all about this awful process I want you to think about your pets, or any pet doesn’t matter just think of an animal.

They are abused in everything from toxicology tests (in which they are slowly poisoned to death) to painful burn experiments to psychological experiments that induce terror, anxiety, depression, and helplessness.

Animals that are put forward to medical experimentation contribute to cures and treatments that have saved many lives. The California Biomedical Research Association states that “nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has resulted directly from research using animals.” (California Biomedical Research Association). Animals that are used for these tests have contributed incredible discoveries on unimaginable areas starting on Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Heart Disease/Stroke, Diabetes, Birth Defects, and Spinal Cord Injuries. Animal testing has made medical discoveries to go from antibiotics to blood transfusions, from

Throughout the years, billions of animals are being tested on, and it has been a debating issue for a very long time (Prachand 74). When a person

Firstly, animals have been tested on for the past decades. According to P.E.T.A (peta.org 2015 statistics) article it is stated that each year over 100 million animals such as; dogs, cats, rats, mice, ferrets, hamsters and monkeys are killed in U.S Laboratories for many reasons including

Animal testing classifies as legal, sanctioned abuse. When an animal is in a lab as a test subject, there is no limit to what harm may be inflicted upon it. Over one hundred million animals go through this torture each year (PETA). These animals spend the majority of their lives in an unnatural, stressful environment, fearing what kind of thing will happen to them next. They are kept behind bars with usually no access to sunshine or fresh air, unable to act as they would if they were free (PETA). Dogs being tested on can not run around in the grass, birds can not fly around outside, and mice have no wheel to exercise on. Animals in labs go through thorough, invasive experiments, often ending in death. Many of these tests they go through

Additionally, animals also undergo immense pain and trauma in the pursuit of results that are not directly applicable for human use. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. has been using animals for testing to conclude that drugs and cosmetics are safe and effective before going into the human tests since the 1960s. These tests have been going on for

Although there has been thousands of reports of animal abuse in the field of medical testing, there has also been an extraordinary amount of success that come from these examinations. With these tests, scientists were able to advance in

On the more sensitive side of the issue, animal testing has been noticeably recognized as inhuman. As an article in ProCon.org states, “…animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to…pain during experiments while be given no anesthesia for relief…” (“Animal Testing- ProCon.org”). Shannon Keith, the President of Beagle Freedom Project, shares her experience as a rescue leader. She sadly informs me, “…these animals have undergone numerous tests and have been deprived of the proper care, nourishment, environment, and basic rights.” The Beagle Freedom Project dedicates their time to rescue beagles and other animals from the inhuman and cruel living conditions (Keith). There have been arguments made by the “Understanding Animal Research”

In reality there aren't really as many as you might think because in almost all places it is required that all animal testers get animals that are specifically bread by registered licensed holders that bread these animals for this purpose and that no research at all is allowed to happen to stray or unwanted animals. Also, the use of chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas has been banned since 1986.

Animal testing has its pros and cons. If the animal testing is done on an animal that is on the verge of dying, or if it for a disease, then it is exceptional. The time when it is not, is for useless things that are not necessary for life. Numerous things that are useless, but are tested on animals on a daily basis

The animals undergoing these tests aren't your everyday household pets. They are animals such as rats and sometimes monkeys. According to Colin Blakemore, author of Should We Experiment on Animals “Biologically, we are similar to species such as mice and rats, because we have practically the same set of genes. Their bodies respond to disease and treatments much as ours do. If a genetically modified "purple tomato" can fight cancer in mice, as announced yesterday, it might work for humans, too’’ (Blakemore 2017).
