Essay about Animal Testing is Unethical

For many years, animal testing has been very widely accepted in the world for the

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.)

Picture yourself in a testing laboratory; needles, drugs, and knives pointed in your direction with you having no idea what’s going on around you, this is how animals everyday are treated, we have to stop this now! Millions of animals are killed in laboratories everyday with no chance to object to what the testers are about to do to them. Animals feel as much pain as humans do so why does it make it okay to test on them when they are so alike to humans? Every day people test makeup, shampoos, and medicines on animals, the strange thing is that animals have different skin, hair, and internal organs than humans have. Since the animals have different internal organs than humans only 5-25% of the testing results are agreeable between animals

Millions of animals suffer due to effects of testing they must endure. This testing is usually done unethically and causes major harm. It’s wrong to harm animals for the sake of testing products for society. Furthermore, animals are living creatures just like humans and should not be treated differently. While testing animals may be cheaper, it is morally wrong and causes many harmful side effects in animals.

For centuries humans have dedicated their time and research to animal experimentation. A large number of these animals are being utilized and taken from their homes involuntarily. They are abused, mishandled and harmed for our own benefit to create products such as cosmetic supplies, vaccines, and medication.

92% of all drugs have failed because they don't work or they're either too dangerous (animal testing). Animal Experimentation is the use of animals to test human products such as drugs/medication, cosmetics items, shower/bath soaps and lotion, etc. We need to enforce the NO animal testing law because it’s inhumane, we have other technology, and anyway 9 out of 10 tests fail.

In today's world, more than 100 million animals are killed each year in the name of animal testing. Now as some might say that sacrifice is needed for the common good, it is safe to say that animal testing may be taking it over the top to get such test results for the "common good". Animal testing has been a common practice for many years to get results and side effects for food, drugs, pesticides, beauty products, and just about everything one uses in an average day. But now, in the modern world where ethics and animals rights come into the light, the subject of animal testing has become quite a spectacle to be fought over. In an interesting way, the debate over animals questions the humanity of the people of the world, and how far they

Animal testing can have a different meaning for each individual, it can be both cruel and helpful in everyday life.

100 million animals die each in the US. Those animals include mice,rats,frogs,dogs,cats,rabbits, hamster,guinea pigs,monkeys,fish and birds. All of the listed animals are used for a biology lessons,medical training,chemical experimentation, drug,food and cosmetic testing. Plus all of these animals are tortured and forced to do things that the animals do not want to do. Animals should not be used for scientific or commercial testing because animals testing can be cruel and inhumane,tests do not reliably predict in human beings, and tests are most expensive than other test and government money is wasted.

Since the discovery of disease, medical professionals have been looking and testing for cures. When looking for a cure or treatment for a disease you go through a series of steps. These steps are full of possible treatments, looking at your progress through a microscope, and then finally testing your possible treatment on live animals. I believe that this step is crucial to finding treatments because although the possible cure works perfectly in a petri dish may in fact be poisonous to living people. Animal testing for medical research is also impacts the effectiveness of prescription medication and even it finds treatments for animal ailments.

Right at about 26 million animals are tested in the united states each year. Animals are used for research to develop or prolong new medical treatments, check the safety of products for human use, and other biomedical, commercial, and health care uses. Research on animals has been practiced since at least 500 BC. Some researchers say that it is inhumane to experiment on animals, there are many alternative methods to researchers that can replace animal testing, and many animal species are so different from human life that research on animals often yields irrelevant results. Animal testing in the United States is regulated by the federal Animal Welfare Act. The AWA requires that each research facility develop an internal Institutional Animal

According to PETA, more than 100 million animals suffer and die in the U.S. every year in cruel chemical, drug, food, and cosmetic tests are well as in medical training exercises and curiosity-driven medical experiments at universities. Animal testing has been around for decades, many people believe that animal testing needs to be abolished, but others believe that animal testing is necessary. The idea that animal testing should be eradicated stems from the belief that animal testing is cruel and inhumane. The other side of this argument is that animal testing is a necessity because it allows people to use certain brands of makeup and hygiene products. Animals all over the world suffer from the many experiments they encounter

The rights of animals are a deeply discussed subject, one that usually ends with the idea that animals are a waste of rights. This proposal is incorrect, however many people have agreed and obstructed the rights of innocent animals.

Humans are animals, and as such it is morally wrong to use them to test pharmaceuticals intended for use by humans. Those who support animal experimentation believe it is a necessary evil, in part due to the false information put out by the media. The so-called benefits of animal testing have not helped humans for years, yet in many countries the law still requires researchers use animals to test their medications. In fact, although alternatives have been found, few steps have been taken to put an end to animal experimentation. Unfortunately, the way the activists present their argument that is one main reason they are not taken seriously, even though their points are valid. Animal testing is morally wrong and has not benefited humans as the media has claimed, but there are alternatives, such as new technology, if only humans would take the first step.

Observation and experimentation are how we as humans have been able to learn more about ourselves and the world and universe we live in. One of the most common methods of experimentation is animal testing. However, there are controversies surrounding animal testing. There are some that believe animal testing to be cruel and overdone, advocating for the eradication of the practice and further reliance alternative research methods. Groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and other animal rights advocates fall in this category. There are some that believe animal testing to be an invaluable resource and should continue, such as some scientists and research groups. However, there appears to me to be a consensus that is closer to the middle: the belief and understanding that while there are benefits to animal testing, there are flaws in the practice and there should be changes to increase its efficacy while we simultaneously explore alternate testing methods. Many scientists and the National Institute of Health (NIH) subscribe to this idea. I aim to explore the benefits, problems, and implications of animal testing in order to reach a more informed conclusion about a position that is most validated by the information I have used.
