When people think of cheating they think of copying off a smart student in school, or having somebody else do their homework. However in the livestock industry cheating happens in many other ways. Obviously, the main goal when showing an animal is to win, or make the sale at their respective shows. How far will exhibitors actually go to win a show though? In recent years there has been controversy at many major livestock shows over drug testing, and animals testing hot for illegal drugs which means when tested there was traces found of illegal substances within the animal. This is not the only way people have been caught cheating though; some exhibitors have switched animals with another exhibitor prior to the show. Showing an animal at the county fair or state fair is supposed to be an educational experience where kids learn responsibility and hard work, not getting placed last in class because somebody cheated to win. In an article Drug Testing in Show Animals by Living the Country Life states, “Most shows are going to do winners, either class winners or champions, depends on how deep they 're going to go, and randoms in a urine test.” This quote is explaining a policy on drug testing at some of the major livestock shows across the United States. Sure, many livestock shows drug test the winners but how do they actually get punished? The article Drug Testing in Show Animals by Living the Country Life describes, “If drug residues are found, penalties may include
Protesting has been going around the world for many of years. Throughout many years of people boycotted agents a situation they believe, if a wrong or right. One of the biggest areas on where people gather around and protest is when they’re fighting agents animals testing. As well as the years has pasted on protesting on animals, it became more sires in increased in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Many cosmetics companies been testing on animals throughout the years there is also many that have not. The cosmetics line LUSH has been fighting over animals testing for over thirty years and will continue to fight for their right according to the company. When LUSH had first started the company had divided they didn 't ever wanted to test their product on animal. Not only fighting agents animals testing LUSH is also ego friendly; everything they use its plants, oil, and recycle. Since LUSH having to be agents animal testing, policies had created to work with the companies of cosmetics to end the cruelty of animals. The LUSH company say “ This can be done without animal testing …” and it true. LUSH is a company that all there product dills with ones skin to make them fell and look beautiful. If LUSH can test their products other than animals and still make your still looking good then, other cosmetics companies can do the same.
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.
According to “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 prevent millions of animal deaths.
Many people have a pet in which they would never want to get hurt. Each year in the United States, over seventy million animals are hurt and killed due to scientific research. Many brands have taken the pledge to become cruelty free, but there are still multiple brands that are continuing to use animals to test their products. Animal testing should be banned because it is cruel, often ineffective, can not detect for many diseases that humans are exposed to, and can be unsafe due to the differences between animals and humans.
Less than 2% of human illnesses are ever seen in animals. Over 98% never affect animals. 92% of drugs passed by animal tests fail when first tried on humans because they’re useless, dangerous or both. Humans and animals are very similar to one another. Like humans they have similar systems in the body and at times it tends to react the same a human would. The animals that are used in research are mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, primates, dogs, cats, cows, fish, and birds. Almost all of these animals are used to try to make human life better and to progress in the world of medicine. The remaining animals are used as test dummies for all other products. Hundreds of thousands of animals are experimented on one another to figure out the
Consumers buy products most commonly from brands that they feel provide the best quality. They are also counting on the products to be safe. For example beauty products should not be harmful to the area it is being applied on, and hair dyes should not cause other reactions other than coloring the consumer 's hair. For companies, these are big concerns on their hands to avoid bad reputation, lawsuits, etc. There are many ways these products can be cleared and called safe. What a lot of buyers do not see is that the most commonly used method to check our products is by harming the lives of various animals. Animal testing should not be a permissible testing method that is used in the clinical and cosmetic world of products and
Animal testing is intended to express the use of animals in scientific research. Every year more than 115
According to the ASPCA, 37-47% of American households are home to a dog, and 30-37% of households have cats (“Pet Statistics”). Pets are usually very important members of the family, offering unconditional love, play, and cuddles. Now imagine someone injecting or smearing chemicals and irritants on or under their skin. Or even worse, squeezing irritants into their eyes, like those found in shampoos or soaps, just to make life easier for consumers. These are only mild examples of the animal testing that goes on every single day around the world, and right here in the United States of America. Animals are kept in lonely, cold, dirty kennels, and some never see the light of day. They are tested on, force fed, and often mistreated even when
Animals have impacted human history in many ways. They are a food source, pets, and used in scientific research. Animal 's used in medical and scientific research help find cures to human disease, injury, and deficiencies. Many animals have a similar genetic makeup with humans. About half of the animal 's tested on live longer and healthier lives compared to the common house pet. Also many animals are protected by different organizations, and also a federal law. Since our genes closely resemble each other, scientists believe that discoveries like this will make humans live healthier and longer too. These experiments and test provide some insight on problems doctors and scientist face with the increase of life threatening diseases and
Did you know that in the United States alone 26 million animals are used in testing each year? Did you know the Federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) does not protect 95% of animals in experiments and testing and that over 97 thousand animals that experience pain are not given drugs to ease the pain? That the United States and Gabon are the only two countries that allow testing on chimpanzees? Animal testing has been used worldwide and for many different matters, but does the use of it really help and benefit us and them? Or does it damage both of us?
Over 115 million animals are tested in laboratories throughout the United States each year. Typical animals included in these horrific tests include: cats, rats, dogs, rabbits, mice, monkeys, sheep, and birds. Researchers state that about 78,294 animals subjected to cosmetic and medicinal tests face severe pain (PETA, 2017). “Neither Federal nor state law prohibits the transfer of animals to laboratories; they only regulate it” (Favre, 2002). Animal testing is a vile practice of cruelty that is used for testing cosmetic products and research in medicine with regulated inspections; it is often found as unethical and should be
Do you ever wonder what it would be like if you were an animal? You sure would not want to be in a laboratory all day! I strongly believe that animal testings should be outlawed. First of all drugs that pass animal tests are not necessarily safe, also, Most of the animal tests do not even work on humans,and animals are different than humans. In addition I believe that animal testing is wrong and should be banned.
One major dilemma that companies face today is animal testing. Many cosmetic companies still use animal testing in an immoral ways of testing products. Out of the major 5 companies that are still animal testing for cosmetics stated by one green planet unleash your green monster. Which is a special interest foundation to protect animal-rights. In a recent article by Pam Ryan “Hate animal cruelty? You should probably avoid these cosmetic brands” states that that Olay was number one on their list (Pam Ryan).
Animal testing in the scientific and cosmetic fields has been a controversial topic throughout the world for many years. This topic keeps coming back up only to be pushed aside or covered back up by officials. Many people stay outraged and concerned when it comes to animal testing and the fact that it has gone on for so long. The fact of the matter is, that for years now scientist have been studying and developing numerous different methods that can be used for these type of testing’s and completely exclude animals from it all. The next step now is to apply these methods and keep moving forward and progressing with these methods.
Nearly every disease known to humans has been researched at some point in time using animals (Lee). As a matter of fact 100 million animals are used in chemical, food, cosmetic, and medical testing every year (Mendoza). Testing on animals can be cruel and inhumane. Many of the test done to animals have already been performed. Despite animal testing alternatives many researchers still use animals in research today. Animals should not be used in research.
