Persuasive Animal Testing Speech

Millions of animals every year are being used in labs to test cosmetics. This problem has become a worldwide issue and the U.S. needs to make a change by prohibiting the use of animals in testing cosmetics for safe use.

The destructive use of animals in experiments is not only cruel but also ineffective. Animal testing is a traditional approach to studying how human and animal bodies work. Many scientists who use animals debate that there is no other way to achieve their scientific purposes, and that any pain or distress caused to the animals is outweighed by the benefits of the research. However, is putting the lives of innocent, helpless animals worth it so that someone can enjoy a cosmetic product? On average over 115 million rabbits, dogs, cats, mice, and other animals are burned, poisoned and killed in painful experiments each year for the sake of cosmetics and toiletries. Many brands such as Dove, MAC, Maybelline, Veet, Michael Kors and plenty others

Moreover, animal testing is a cruel and inhumane way to torture and kill animals for mankind’s own benefit. For instance, every day animals are discarded like yesterday’s trash. The Humane Society International gave an approximate outlook on animals that are murdered by stating, “An estimated 100,000-200,000 animals are killed in cosmetic laboratories each year” (“About Cosmetics Animal Testing” 1). Although, some will argue that it is worth the kill to make shampoo, makeup, etc., harmless to humans; however, animals shouldn't be used for something as non-essential as cosmetics. Animals are not meant to wear makeup, yet products will be applied to

Millions of animals are used for product testing and most of them do not come out alive. For proof, neavs.org says that every year in the United States over 25 million animals are used in biomedical experimentation, product and cosmetic testing, and science education. That tells us that millions of animals are used in biomedical experimentation, cosmetic testing, and science education. The animals are treated harshly and there is a 99% chance that they will die. Similarly, animalaid.org states that

Imagine being born, only to live a life of torture. You are brought to a lab, and cruelly tested on against your will. Toxins poured into your eyes, painful injections to your skin, then left to die when you’re no longer useful. Although many do not realize it, people use products tested on animals in their everyday lives. For girls, many of your favorite makeup brands, such as Estee Lauder, Makeup Forever, and Maybelline take part in animal testing. Products such as toothpaste, cologne, deodorant, laundry detergent, razors, and even band-aids aren’t tested innocently, either. As a makeup enthusiast, I am passionate about how the products I use daily are tested. Today I will help you understand what animal testing is and how it started, how it’s currently affecting animals around the world, and what organizations are doing to help make a difference in the future. To begin, I will explain the history of animal testing. An animal test is any scientific experiment or test in which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them pain, suffering, distress, or lasting harm.(https://www.crueltyfreeinternational.org/why-we-do-it/what-animal-testing) Animal experiments are not the same as taking your animal to the vet. Animals used in laboratories are harmed, not for their own good, and usually killed at the end of an experiment. Animal experiments include injecting or force feeding animals with potentially harmful substances, exposing animals to radiation,

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

Therefore animals will have different reactions to things we can easily fix. A mouse and a human being are not the same and will react differently to different things. Not only do the animals die in research, but also abused during the entire process. All kinds of animals, including mice, birds, rats, fish, frogs, dogs, monkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters are subject to cruel experimentation in the name of science. The harmful use of animals in experiments is not only cruel but also often ineffective. Animals do not get many of the human diseases that people do, such as major types of heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s disease, or schizophrenia. Every year, 100 million animals are killed for research in the United States alone. So it is surprising how few laws there are to protect those animals. As a human we have liberty, which is freedom, choice etc. and also animals have the right to live, and the right to choose. In fact, the only law that regulates animal testing is the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). Animal testing is not just dangerous to the animals tested on, but to humans as well. Pat Thomas of The Ecologist said . Many everyday products like toothpaste and soap do not have to be tested for.

B. PETA states that “mice, rats, birds and cold blooded animals … make up more than 95 percent of animals used in experiments…” 1. The Animal Welfare Act does not cover these animals, so their lives, and the amounts of them lost, are often unknown, as a result. (Transition: Let us summarize what we have just discussed involving animal testing). (Action) Conclusion I. Summary: A. You now know that hundreds of millions of animals annually are forced to endure cruel acts of chemical, toxicity, biological, medical etc.. testing, and are then killed and examined; tax dollars and lottery ticket purchases help to fund this

The controversial issue of animal testing isn’t a top priority for most Americans, but it is for the animal rights activist that have established brand boycotts and loyalty. Animal testing has been around for decades; however, most Americans do not know if their household cleans or beauty products are tested on animals. Companies like Fabreze, Lysol, and even Comet are still tested on animals as of 2017 but have a standing consumer boycott by animal rights activist. “A study published in the Journal of Medical Ethics (February 2015) found that from 1997 to 2012, the total number of laboratory animals increased by 73%, but due to inadequacies in recordkeeping on the use of animals in experimentation, the number may be even higher (“Animals,”

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.

Imagine you were sitting on your porch, the sun is out, you are tuning your six-string guitar, the day is calm, all alone, nothing could ruin this day. But all of a sudden, you are in a metal box, with thousands of other people, everyone around you has holes from needles, scars, cuts, on their bodies. Then a giant hand comes and reaches for you. You scream for help, the others just watch you then, you feel a stabbing pain in your side, then you fall asleep. You’re back home but something doesn’t feel right.

Before you buy make-up just consider the pain and suffering that the poor animals in labs have to go through everyday just so that you can look good. Yes boys this also includes you, just think about what those animals in labs that go through so much for you guys just so that you can use shaving creams and deodorants.

Much progress has been made to end this testing, gearing the world into the right direction of animal testing free procedures, though, not everyone is on board. The United States have yet to hop onto the train toward a free animal testing future. The United States continues to test on animals for cosmetics even though there are numerous ways to test, without using animals, that are more efficient and effective than animal testing. (3D tissue samples of corneas made from human cells can be used instead of using an animal organ when testing for cosmetics side effects.) What is worse than the United States still testing on animals, is that there is continued demand for even more animal

Have you ever wondered if the products you use are being tested safely. Have you thought about if the products you use are killing innocent animals. Good morning/afternoon mrs. meffe and classmates, today i will be talking about animal testing. I will talk about what animal testing is, where it is legal and illegal, how it works, how it affects the animals, and how to put a stop to it.

The creation of a new product, should not cause animals to suffer and die. Because humans want a new lip color or a new type of eyeliner, does not mean that numerous animals should be immensely tortured and at times to death. Many argue that in order to ensure the safety of a product, animal testing is necessary. However, in today’s scientific world, this is not true. Many people argue that animal testing is cheaper, but according to Consumers ' Research Magazine writer Beatrice Hunter, it costs 500,000 dollars per product to test something using animals, as opposed to alternatives, which cost on average 50 dollars per product.
