Disadvantages Of Animal Testing

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.

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.

A topic that will always be discusses the testing on animals Contributes to many cures and treatments that save many human lives.The majority of the medical breakthroughs that have happened in the last 100 years were direct results from animal research and experimentation.

Animal Testing is the process of experimentation involving using products on non-human animals and recording the reaction on the animal in order to see the effects of a product. Each year over 100 million innocent animals are killed for animal testing. Usually products used on animals will have negative effects that will result in painful effects for the animals. Animal testing is a great advance in medical technology, but hurts the animals that are being tested. Products that are tested on animals could include cosmetics, skincare, cleaning supplies, and household items. Companies feel the need to test on animals to see the reaction on them and determine what could happen when the consumer uses uses the product. All of these animals being

Animal experiments have helped us better the lives of humans. If we test medicines and cosmetics on animals we can first ensure the safety of it, before the product being tested on humans.

Animals could be used in experiments where they are force fed, could be burned, physically restrained... Unfortunately, 95% of the animals that are being tested on do not get to be protected by the Animal Welfare Act. Animals also have a different biology than humans which could affect the accuracy of the data. The experiments and tests could potentially have a different result with humans. Also, using animals to test products is much more expensive than some other alternatives. A skin sensitization test costs $6,000 dollars if using an animal. It is only $3,000 dollars if using local lymph node assay. In addition, cosmetics are not a necessity, so harming an animal may seem unjust. There are some downsides to testing on

Pro/Con Speech- Animal Testing
Purpose: To inform the class about the pros and cons to using sexual content in advertising.

while there are many controversial thoughts on many different factors that apply to animal testing, I find it to be that many of the pros outweighs the costs that comes animal testing such as the ethical or moral reason. Although when including the ethical or moral consequences that comes with animal testing, the benefits to mankind and improvements to our societies and sciences in many diverse ways. Which leads me to strive towards the many benefits that comes with animal testing even with some of the consequences that comes with the testing. Many people will jump to the conclusion that animal testing is always done in a harsh manner, how the morals and ethics have been the same since way back when, and how the outcomes that occur when testing on animals isn’t worth the chance of them getting hurt. Yet this is not the case.

When in a drugstore, whether you browse in the cosmetic, household, or daily products isle, the majority of the items have one fact in common--animal testing. For over a century now, thousands of companies have decided to experiment on animals in order to determine if it is safe enough for humans to use. However, testing on these animals is not a dependable source as it is costly to maintain and does not provide reliable results.

The use of animals for developing new cosmetics and for educational purposes, known as animal testing, has been going on for years. In the medical field, there is a need for testing on animals of various different things. Most importantly, over 26 million animals each year is used for medical purposes: biomedical research and clinical research. Whereas in often areas animal testing is cruel and unnecessary.

There are currently no strict laws that protect animals from testing. Every year millions of animals die for incomprehensible reasons. Animal testing has been a controversial problem in the United States as well as nationally. For centuries animals have been used as test subjects for medications and products used in daily life. They should not have to suffer in order to have decent medications and beauty products that mean no difference to them. Animal testing can be ended and replaced if this problem is recognized and addressed, companies are penalized, replacement subjects are found, and animal testing is made overall illegal.

Animal testing is appalling. Research on live animals has been around since at least 500 BC; people and scientists still think it isn’t such a bad thing.

Most companies use animals to test their products. There are different sides of the argument about companies doing animal testing. The two sides are the people who want it to stop since its against animal rights and it’s inhumane but the others say that it helps majorly with making medical breakthroughs on products and cures. “This topic first started around 400 B.C. and was used by Aristotle and Erasistratus” (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
