Animal Testing Wrong

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.)

Animal testing has been around since the third and fourth centuries BC, when it was performed by Greek philosopher-physicians. However, it is unknown when people began to question this process. In today’s society, the idea of testing products on animals has become more and more controversial with numerous groups being created and becoming even more vocal. While people will decide for themselves where they stand in this argument, I would hope that most would agree that animal abuse is wrong. So, if animal abuse is wrong and animal testing can be, and usually is, much more painful and severe than animal abuse; why can’t people agree on the subject of animal testing? However, the argument for animal testing is also legitimate. Animal testing

If rabbits could speak, they would probably tell you to stop supporting many of your favorite companies. Even your most trusted household brands, such as Maybelline, Arm & Hammer, Listerine, and even Lysol contribute to the millions of innocent animals subjected to cruel and wasteful product testing every year. These and many other widely popular brands implement animal testing during the production, modification, and design of their products. This testing is extremely dangerous to animals and in some cases humans as well. In spite of this, products American citizens use on a daily basis come from companies that test their products on animals and the consumers of these products are virtually blind to the evils that lie behind them. Animal testing is immoral and should be abolished because it tortures innocent creatures, is an ineffective method of testing a product, and is far more expensive than the alternatives that exist.

Animal experimentation has been a commonly debated subject for many years, is it cruelty or science? Millions of animals die each year from animal testing. This is because of harsh ways animals are treated like by their experimenters. Animals should be free of the cruelty scientists expose them to. They have just as much sentient as humans do. Millions of animals a year are subject to being imprisoned and having terrible procedures done.

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?

*Screech* the animals barely make out as they are being ripped out of their cages knowing they will soon be put through more. AS if last time it wasn’t enough. Is this what we want to put animals through anymore, or are we just going to keep them suffering? An issue that is commonly debated is about animal testing and whether it is good or bad. Others may agree that it is beneficial, but in fact animal testing is cruel and should no longer be tolerated. First of all animals are not humans, we are different creatures with different ways of life and conditions. Another reason is that there are many deaths all together and what happens after the testing is done, is horrible. After all there are many alternatives, this is not the only thing that

Animal testing is when animals are used in different tests, experiments, and studies. These tests, experiments, and studies often result in the harm and/or death of the animals. People often say the animals are used in order to benefit humans, such as making sure that products are safe and helping make advancements in medicine. When people use everyday products, most never think about how the product was determined to be safe. The animal’s involuntary sacrifice is almost never even a thought in most people’s minds. These animals undergo cruel treatment, harmful experiments, and even death for the “benefit” of humans.

Human’s have made innumerable advancements in the world we live in however in doing so, the progression of ethical and moral decisions made upon animal testing and vivisection have failed to strive simultaneously. In this paper I will affirm with the central claim that it is wrong to cause unnecessary suffering ought to be extended to the practice of vivisection. Innocent animals should not be put through these harsh environments of inflicted pain for the sake of a slight potential gain in human living. I believe this because these animals cannot represent themselves and vocalize their willful consent in the practice and will not be able to comprehend the pain and suffering caused during testing periods. The most common objection proposed to this claim however, would be the explained rationale behind why this form of testing occurs and the benefits it has shown in enhancing human and non-human existence. Although these considerations arise, it is still found to be unethical to cause unnecessary harm and suffering to any live animal in the name of science to supposedly gain a successful medical treatment or household product. Animal welfare representatives will continue to conclude that there is no valid justification for

According to the BBC “2.73 million experiments in the months of 2002”(). The issue of animal testing affects the animals being tested on and could affect citizens too. I disagree with animal testing because it hurts the animals being tested on and there are alternatives to it, for example in vitro testing. This issue is important because if animals go extinct then the animals that help our environment will all die, and then we will have to put in more work and more money to clean up or fix it. I would like animal testing to be banned or more strict. Examples of this would be changing the Animal Welfare Act, make the inspectors be more strict on violations, or ban animal testing.

Today animal test subjects such as white rats are used in experiments such as drug testing to make sure it is safe for humans and as a result some animals die. Most scientists live by certain moral most of which are humane unlike Nazi scientists. In their eyes, the perfect test subjects to use were humans, mostly concentration camp inmates. Leading and foremost Nazi doctors were caught and brought to justice before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg after the end of World War II. The trail exposed evidence of inhumane and immoral human experiments performed at the Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, and Dachau concentration camps. Twenty Nazi doctors were charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Ever

Did you know animal testing puts antidote for human in animals bodies and they might never work? The more they put human antidots in animals bodies the more they put animals in danger. It's clear that animal test is harmful to the animals because the reaction to drugs in an animal's body’s are different from the reaction in our bodies because of all the different kinds of animals. Also human illness will never be seen in animals. Last replacing animal testing does not mean we're putting human patients at risk we could test on other things like our cells.

If you have animals at home, how much do you love them? Would you do anything for them? How would you feel if someone took them and did tests on them? Some people think it is okay for animals to be used for testing. However, some people think that testing things on animals is cruel. I am also one to believe that testing products on animals is not okay. It is cruel to use animals for testing. Another reason why we should not use animals for testing is the fact that many of these experiments have flaws and don’t work correctly. Also animals can suffer the same way that humans do.

A quote from an experimenter showed his view on animal testing “Because the animals are like us.” Experimenters were asked why it is ok to test animals the answer would be “Because the animals are not like us.”

Imagine your best friend is very ill and there is only one medicine to help to keep them alive. Would you rather a rat in a lab test the medicine or let your best friend die from the illness? Animal testing is ethical. You may be thinking “there is many problems with animal testing”,but human lives are more important than animal lives.

As human beings we have developed daily routines that we classify as “normal.” Most of us use a considerable amount of hygiene products each day without putting any consideration into the creation of the merchandise. Have you ever stopped to contemplate how this product was developed and ended up in your hands? To the consumer, it may be just a bottle of shampoo or a tube of mascara – but to animals it is a world of pain. The nature of animal experimentation is erroneous and inhumane. There is an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that shows there are alternatives to experiments on animals that still benefit medical studies.
