Animal Testing: The Negative Influence Of Testing On Animals

There has been a lot of animal testing in the United States and thousands of animals already have been killed. In research and testing, animals are subjected to experiments that can include everything from testing new drugs, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming, blinding, and other painful and invasive procedures. Animal testing should not be allowed to proceed because millions of animals are getting killed, the results aren't always right, and it is more expensive to test it on animals.

There are so many products being tested on animals , from being lipsticks, shampoos, makeup, skin care etc. But have you ever wondered the side effects these animals experience while using these products? They will experience Burning, torturing, pain, hunger, thirst etc. How is living in a cage living? It's not it is just surviving.

Although many people agree with testing products on animals, they ask ‘Who else are we going to test our products on?’ Nobody! Don’t add harsh chemicals in the products and then the animals and humans are both healthier. Beyond millions of animals that die and are captured every year just from animal testing alone. Treating an animal cruelty is never okay, especially when they’re torturing the animals with harsh chemicals due to testing. If people would stand up and try to protect animals we’d be saving certain animals from becoming extinct and we’d also save a ton of money.

Many of us are unaware of the sheer number of animals that undergo constant suffering in the name of human vanity. Animal testing was originally introduced in the early 20th century and is still prominent today. It is morally unacceptable to experiment on animals for human purposes. The procedures used in animal testing are cruel and inhumane, nor are they the most reliable source of data; resulting in many mishaps. Moreover, with the perpetual advancements in technology, there are several alternative methods making animal testing unnecessary. If testing cosmetics and drugs on humans is unacceptable, what makes it acceptable to test on animals?

In this project ,my group members focus on the effect and alternatives of animal testing. Animal testing also known as animal experimentation or in-vivo research is the use of non-human animals in experiments, in other words, it is the procedure performed on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology and diseases. For example, test new medical products, to make sure it is safe for human use. There are many different species are used around the world, but the most common include mice, monkey, fish, rats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, cats, dogs. And farm animals,

Photos, websites, posters, and many more items have displayed the negative effects of medical testing on animals. Though, those websites and photos you see every day are not what testing on animals is really like. According to an article from Patricia George and Geraldine Wagner, over the last century and a half, more progress has been made in medical animal testing than in all previous years combined. Animals have actually benefited from the medications they were being tested on and although animal testing helps animals, it also helps humans in the process (2). Animal testing has cured many medical issues, but testing on animals is changing the viewpoint of people today. Because many diseases and cancers have been cured from animal testing, doctors should continue to medically test on animals, but should follow a set of strict rules to have the animals being tested on in healthy and good condition.

The development of new treatments including medicines are distinguished for being time consuming, costly and complex. However, this timely manner is beneficial for society as it meant to provide an efficient and safe medication. Concerns regarding when animal studies are necessary compared to clinical trials has been a debatable topic among society. For over a decade, animal research has served as a fundamental component in many medical findings. Mousses are commonly used in laboratories, as we as humans share nearly 95% of our genes, making them a useful and efficient model for the assistance of discovering medications used today (Grant, 2017). Bench studies should continue to be practiced by researchers as

Some people argue against testing because it kills animals. Scientists hold them captive, experiment on them and then they kill them. However, scientists have had a lot of success in finding drugs that work on humans. The medications they have found have saved millions of lives, and we now have many vaccines to prevent people from getting sick and possibly dying. Animal testing should be allowed to continue because it is very beneficial to humans and has saved many lives.

Animal testing is morally wrong. Tests are done on monkeys, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, cats, dogs, and many other animals. These animals are exposed to chemicals and are sometimes purposefully injured to observe recovery (if there is any). “9 out of 10 candidates that appear safe and effective in animal studies fail when given to humans”(About Animal Testing). These animals are put through terrible tests and awful living conditions, and despite the efforts, some are inaccurate. Scientists still conduct experiments partially because they get better pay that way (Starer). Using animals lives for human benefit and profit is cruel and cold-hearted.

Each year, “more than 100 million animals are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing.” There are all types of animals that are used to do these experiments. Animal testing is inhumane and cruel, and causes pain to living creatures. Also, the reaction of drug in an animal 's body can be very different from a human 's body. An important thing about animal testing is that it can be very costly and unnecessary. Testing on animals should not be permitted because it is causing unnecessary harm to a living animal.

In the United States alone, over 100 million animals are injured and killed in the name of science. Animals are poisoned, burned, and blinded everyday in product tests for numerous industries such as household cleaning, cosmetics, and manufacturers of personal care products. Even though many companies have banned the testing of their products on animals, some corporations continue to put chemicals into animals’ eyes and onto the shaven skin without any form of pain relief. No doubt is this form of testing cruel, especially now that scientists have began developing new advanced ways to tests products that are quicker and more cost effective. These tests are also increasingly more accurate than the endangering of animals method of testing. Some

     Using Animals for testing is wrong and should be banned. They should be entitled to the rights we have. Every day humans are using defenseless animals for cruel and most often useless tests. The animals cannot fight for themselves therefore we must. There should be stronger laws to protect them from laboratory experiments.

Scientists should be allowed to test on animals with no restrictions because oddly enough it benefits animals more than it benefits humans. Even though it doesn’t seem like that would be true, it very much is. One of the best examples of how animal testing helped other animals was when scientists got together to do lab tests on animals and they ended up finding out how to stop rabies. Rabies is a terrible disease that animals normally get. The symptoms are foaming of the mouth, madness, convulsions, muscle aches, and it can be transmitted through to humans through a bite. Although this mainly affects animals and rarely humans the testing on the animals that found the vaccination was very good either way because if an animal has rabies and is

It is beyond my understanding how that cute dog in the window of that store could be one of the 115 million animals that are tested on every year in the U.S. Behind those cute puppy eyes may be a whole world of pain. Animal testing can be using anything on animals from lipstick to medicine to dangerous chemicals. Testing has been going on as early as 1832 (according to this picture on animal-testing.procon.org of a dog geting cut into for research.) and has been continuing for years. Animals are getting tossed into testing, unaware of what is happening to them without choice. Testing may not even be helpful to humans, rendering it useless to hurt animals for. (41 seconds)

The creation of a new product, should not cause animals to suffer and die. Because humans want a new lip color or a new type of eyeliner, does not mean that numerous animals should be immensely tortured and at times to death. Many argue that in order to ensure the safety of a product, animal testing is necessary. However, in today’s scientific world, this is not true. Many people argue that animal testing is cheaper, but according to Consumers ' Research Magazine writer Beatrice Hunter, it costs 500,000 dollars per product to test something using animals, as opposed to alternatives, which cost on average 50 dollars per product.
