Effects Of Animal Testing 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.

Everyday cosmetic products that many people use, such as lipsticks, shampoo, face wash, etcetera, are verified to be safe using animal testing. Chemical burns and other short term ailments are very serious concerns that plague Americans and the knowledge that the products they use will not harm them and their families is possible because of animal testing. Also long term effects, such as cancer, have been discovered through animal product testing and promptly stopped saving countless lives. “NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS YOU’RE THE GUINEA PIG” (Source C). Living day to day with the risk that the products trusted to use on your children and yourself is enough to validate

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.

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?

Do you have an animal at home? If yes, what would you do if it were harmed in any way? A common answer to this question is, “ I would do anything in my power to protect my pet.” So, if thousands of Americans with pets would stand by them in any situation, why do people still continue to buy commercial products that are tested on animals? Commercial products are usually classified as skincare, hair care, and makeup. This is not to say that only women have to worry about their products being tested on, because men’s products are also tested on. A common reason for companies testing on animals is the price; it is much cheaper to test on animals than it is to get human volunteers to try out the products before they are put on shelves. In addition to this, animals are treated very poorly during the animal

An increasing number of activists believe that animals have rights. However, this idea is somewhat controversial because animal activists look down upon the poor treatment of animals. They have a fear that animal testing is causing abuse and suffering to the helpless animals. Animal testing is a fairly serious matter because of all of the malfunctions and harm that leads to animal suffrage. The types of animals being used, such as rats, mice,rabbits, and chips are selected specifically for the test that is being performed. The outcomes of the test, depends on which animal is being tested and what it is being examined for. Common tests being used on animals include, medicine for human diseases, cosmetic products and their reactions, and students in training utilizing animals in educational laboratories.

Seeing as humans are animals it is morally wrong to use animals to test human products. Due to the false information put out by the media, those who support animal believe what the media states about it being a necessary evil. The so-called benefits from animal testing have not helped humans for years, but is now legally required in many countries. Although alternatives have been found, few steps have been taken to put an end to animal experimentation. The way activists present their argument is partially the reason they are not taken seriously. Animal testing is morally wrong and had not benefited humans as the media has claimed, but there are alternatives if only humans would take the first step.

Animal testing is something we have all heard about and/or read about. It is something most people would consider to be horrifyingly wrong. Animal testing is something that many claim to be against and will not support. The lines involving animal testing are a tangled web of blurry and missing pieces of a much greater puzzle. On one hand, there are companies that claim to be cruelty free, but the technicalities that are dug up beg to differ. On the other hand, there are big practices such as pharmaceutical practices that use animals to test on in order to create life saving treatments and medicines for humans. Do we make sure to buy cosmetic products that stray away from testing on animals but continue to take medicines

According to an article by Buzzle, across the globe, new products ranging from drugs for cancer, diabetes, and heart diseases to cosmetic products such as soaps, shampoos, etc., are tested on animals. Even though innocent animals are being used and tested, animal testing should continue because animal testing aids in finding cures for illnesses, not only do humans benefit from animal testing, but animals as well, and even though millions of dollars are being wasted and put into animal testing, the money is used for a good cause. First of all, animal testing has elevated the level of cures for illnesses. For example, animal testing helped make vaccines for countless diseases such as herpes simplex, hepatitis B, polio, rabies, malaria,

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

Even though animal testing does not produce valid results, animals are still treated in an inhumane way during testing because they are purposely experiencing pain and are being killed. After mentioning that scientists gave mice tumors in their brains, Cheng states, “And in recent prostate cancer experiments at Colorado State University and North Carolina State University, dogs’ genitals were exposed to powerful radiation in an attempt to induce erectile dysfunction, which it did in some… Many of the dogs were killed just because of the highly toxic effects of the radiation” (“To Win the War on Cancer, Dishonorably Discharge Tests on Animals”). Radiation, which is an emission of energy that changes and damages chemicals in cells, can cause

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)

As Anthony Douglas William, author, researcher, and consultant, once said “When I look into the eyes of an animal I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.” As defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary a living being is a state of existing, a living thing, or a living organism. While the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act law states that animal testing is not required, it does not prohibit the act to conduct animal experimentation. With several other methods existing out there, testing of new ingredients by cosmetic companies is normally an expensive and unethical choice. The only effective way to save the innocent lives of these animals is by creating a law that forbids the sale and manufacture of cosmetic companies who use living beings as test subjects.

For thousand of years companies test their products on animals and experiment on them causing horrible effects. These animals are innocent and do not deserve to be treated like this. Those experiments cause the animals to develop deformities and diseases. However if you help out and do your part you can help prevent animal testing. There are many alternatives to animal testing that most people do not know about. Animal testing is a big issue and should be stopped.

For many years companies have tested their products on animals. Testing on animals does hurt them. Anything from, keeping them in cages to completely killing them. Petitioners have tried to end animal cruelty, and recently the numbers have decreased dramatically. That does not mean that it has been completely cut out of the manufacturing process. There is other means of testing a product then on innocent animals that have no say in their life.
