Cruel Methods Of Animal Testing

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.

Over one million animals are burned, immobilized, poisoned, and tortured in US labs every year (DoSomething.org). Animal testing is considered a very controversial topic that evolves to protesting rather large companies, and also leads to boycotting a specific brand that is known to test on animals. Animals should not be used for testing products because it is cruel to the animals, there are now new ways to test products, and animals are very different from humans so they are not accurate results.

What would you do if you saw someone slowly torching an animal to death. The background of animal testing is defined as some say it is cruel and some say it is necessary. In recent discussions of animal being used as test subjects. On one hand, some argue that it is cruel and inhuman. On the other hand, some say the test could not be performed without the animals. My own view is, I strongly am against animals being used as test subjects. Some view the test that are performed on the animals as innocent and harmless, it is clear that the test are cruel because the test torture the animals, and some test are inhuman.

As of 2015, 200 to 225 million animals are said to used in laboratory research for the biomedical industry annually worldwide. Typically defended by arguments of reliability and human health benefits, recently the question of ethics and values placed on animal testing have caused it to become a relevant and pressing topic that has been more widely discussed and debated. First off, the laboratory conditions that are instigated upon millions of animal models for the sake of medical research has been said to be unethical and cruel. Additionally, it has been debated that the results of animal experimentation are unreliable across a wide range of areas. Lastly, animal testing not only leads away from the direction of resources from more effective testing methods but also prolongs the duration of time humans may need to wait for an effective cure. Therefore, the potential benefits of animal experimentation are greatly outweighed by the risks and collective harm of humans and animals which is why resources should be directed towards more human-based testing procedures.

Do you know how many animals are killed yearly for the use of animal testing? More than 100 million animals are murdered. Testing on animals is cruel and inhumane. However, alternate methods can be used to replace the need for animals. As a final point, animal tests are more expensive than other methods. Animals have been used to practice on since antient times.

They long to be free. All they can do is sit alone in their cells, in fear, waiting for the net experiment to begin. These poor creatures are commonly subject to force feeding, force inhalation, food and water deprivation, prolonged periods of physical restraint, the infliction of burns and other wounds to study healing processes, and much more, all in the name of “science.” Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Animals feel pain in many of the same ways that humans do; in fact, their reactions to pain are virtually identical (both humans and animals scream, for instance). Animals undergo many scientific tests such as the Draize eye test and the LD50 test. The Draize eye test, used by cosmetics companies to evaluate irritation caused by shampoos and other products, involves rabbits being incapacitated in stocks with their eyelids held open by clips, sometimes for multiple days, so they cannot blink away the products being tested (Animal Testing. Wikipedia.). The commonly used LD50 test involves finding out which dose of a chemical will kill 50% of the animals being used in the experiment (Animal Testing. Wikipedia.). To perform this test, the researchers hook the animals up to tubes that pump huge amounts of the test product into their stomachs until they die. This test is extremely painful to the animals because death can take days or even weeks. Not only do the animals suffer from "vomiting, diarrhea, paralysis, convulsion, and internal bleeding, but since death is the

Countless brands that people continue to use in their everyday lives test their products on animals. So many products that people keep in their homes stem from some sort of animal cruelty. Animals are being tested on products for the benefit of human use. " These include tests for cosmetics, food additives, household cleaners, pesticides, and industrial chemicals" (Baier, 136). Many people are not aware that animals are being tortured for products used in everyday life. Millions of animals are being tortured during animal experiments; when this cruelty is unnecessary. The results researchers receive from animal tests are inaccurate and wasteful. Animal testing should be eliminated due to the fact that animals endure inhumane suffering and long-term effects when alternative methods are available, and the information is unreliable and wasteful.

Have you ever stop and thought about what has gone into the making of a product you buy? In America we often just throw things into our cart without a second thought. What many people don’t realize is that millions of products and prescription drugs have been cruelly tested on animals. Animal testing is a huge industry in the United States, which is cruel, un-necessary, inefficient, and needs to be stopped.

Within laboratory walls, the worst forms of institutionalized animal abuse is conducted. This abuse and torture is also known as animal testing and is primarily done with the expectation of find a cure to various illnesses. Scientists use this harsh research to gain control over behavior or biological systems. During the experiments helpless animals are exploited and endure great suffering. These conditions along with the feelings of the animals are unacknowledged in the name of medical research. The use of animals in medical research is essentially legal abuse. Animal testing for medical research should be made illegal because it is unethical, unreliable, and archaic.

Can anyone seriously say that they would like to be poisoned, burned, starved or killed? Well that is what happens to millions of animals a year, anywhere between ten and one hundred million in fact. Animal testing, is the process in which (non-human) animals are used in research to help predict the effects of a medicine, cosmetic appliance etc on the human body. Most of these experiments force the animal in question to undergo something that is likely to cause pain, suffering or lasting harm. There are many arguments as to why animal testing is needed, and in some cases why it is right. But for every one of them, there are ten times as many reasons as to why it is wrong and unnecessary. And so there should be. So many animals annually are killed for things such as makeup and shampoo, and yet the companies who do this try to justify why it is okay. Why it is necessary. It’s ridiculous.

Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Every year, more than a hundred million animals- including mice, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, and many more- are killed in the U.S. They are killed for laboratories in biology lessons, training, curiosity experiments, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. Experimenting on animals is a cruel way of testing products. Alternative testing methods now exist that can replace the need for animals. Most experiments involving animals are flawed, which wastes the lives of the animals. Also, animals suffer just like humans, so it is speciesism to experiment on animals while refraining from experimenting on humans.

As human beings, we all have basic rights. Animals, on the other hand, do not get a choice in what is done to them. Animals being used for research dates back to the 1500s. It is estimated that 26 million are used for commercial or scientific research every year. People often disagree on whether animals should have rights. Though they are without a voice, they still have feelings and suffer from pain just as humans do. There are better alternatives to animal testing, such as ones that do not include the suffering and torture of defenseless animals. Although animal research benefits humans in numerous ways, animals have feelings and should have rights just as humans do.

Every year, it is estimated that hundreds of millions of animals are used for experiments worldwide (Cohn). In those millions, an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 animals are used to test cosmetics alone (Humane). Scientists shouldn’t be allowed to test cosmetic products on animals because it is cruel and inhumane, there are other effective alternative methods, and it isn’t necessary.

An estimated of 26 million animals are used for testing and killed. More than 26 million animal lives are wasted. This should stop. It could lead to animal extinction and other problems. Some reasons why animal testing should not be allowed is one, it is cruel and inhumane. Two, some substances are never even used. Three, animal lives are wasted. Animal testing should not be allowed because it’s cruel and inhumane, some substances are never used, and animal lives are wasted.

Today consumerism is huge part of how the world functions. Everyone purchases some sort of products. However the consumer may not think about where those products came from or how they came to be. Often many products are tested or taken from animals. This practice is very controversial as there has been evidence that the animals are being put at risk for society's benefit. Some believe that animal testing is necessary while others are very much against it. While many believe that animal testing is incredibly useful as it has contributed to many life saving cures and treatments, it is my opinion that it is inhumane and cruel.
