Persuasive Speech On Animal Testing

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

Today I am going to talk to you about why exactly animal testing is unethical and unnecessary, and what you all as an audience can do to make this happen.

Every year, a total of one million children die from pneumonia. If you multiply that number by one hundred, you will have the number of animals that suffer painful deaths due to medical experimentation in U.S. laboratories each year. This number includes animals of all types, from mice and rats to fish and birds. These animals are typically used because of tradition rather than actual scientific reasoning, making their deaths all the more cruel. Animal experimentation is not only unethical, but ineffective and expensive. It should be phased out and replaced with technological alternatives.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” (Mahatma Gandhi). Scientists have been using animals for biomedical research for centuries. They provide a source to get information scientists can not get without harming humans. A lot of debate is spread about whether it is good or bad. Animal experimentation is a controversial topic because it is helpful to humans, but it is also cruel and inhumane.

i. According to Dr. T Page, Less than 2% of human illnesses (1.16%) are ever seen in animals. Over 98% never affect animals.

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,

Humans have been altering the genetic makeup of plants for millennia, keeping seeds from the best crops and planting them in following years, breeding and crossbreeding varieties to make them taste sweeter, grow bigger, last longer. In this way we've transformed the wild tomato, Lycopersicon, from a fruit the size of a marble to today's giant, juicy beefsteaks. From a weedy plant called teosinte with an "ear" barely an inch long has come our foot-long (0.3-meter-long) ears of sweet white and yellow corn. In just the past few decades plant breeders have used traditional techniques to produce varieties of wheat and rice plants with higher grain yields. They have also created hundreds of new crop variants using irradiation and mutagenic

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.

Animals can be ferocious and wild, but they can also be gentle and tame. Some are our pets, and some are powerful forces that are to be respected and admired. It is as easy to appreciate a loyal dog as it is to be in awe of a lion in its' natural habitat. But the truth that many people either don’t know or don’t appreciate is that animals are essential to human existence and have played a vital role in improving the quality of our lives. They have been providing us with answers to our most complex medical questions for decades. Their role in finding cures for diseases, treatments for illness, and product safety is immense. First, we will examine how animal testing has

Today is the day I present to you, my fellow American citizens, the disturbance that has plagued my mind for decades now. For most of my lifetime, I have fought tirelessly to break the chains of slavery; the aim to equality and liberty for all was the only thing I hoped to achieve. Now a free man, I am suddenly faced again with an issue that seems to replicate the exact rendition of my past: animal testing. Before even making a decision, one should put long great thought into the question: Does animal testing truly provide the full benefits told to us, the public? As a true warrior (Analogy) who has combated the atrocities of slave life, I am quick to say that even considering the idea justifiable is going against one’s morals. I completely disagree with the fact that it (exists) benefits us in any way and am especially furious that we are progressively rewinding back to where we first started. My philosophy is that “we have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.” (Douglass) Overall, I stand with the idea that animal testing is an unnecessary procedure that in all provides more cruelty in this hate-filled world.

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.

Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. What do they have in common? Maybe that they could all be common house pets, but it could also be that they are some of the animals that are commonly tested on for biomedical purposes as stated by the Humane Society. In the topic of using animals for biomedical research there are two definitive sides. Those opposed to animal testing state that it is unacceptable and unnecessary due to the fact that it only leads to the torture and death of millions of animals. Those supporting this animal testing believe that it is a key benefactor to advances in the medicinal industry. Animal testing is the necessary evil that helps further society’s knowledge in the biomedical field.

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

When most people go to the store to buy their day-to-day groceries, cosmetics, and other necessities, they do not consider how those items were manufactured. They pick up their perfume, makeup, dish soap, floor cleaner, yet they never stop to contemplate the countless, defenseless animals that perished due to these products. Human don’t want to consider the horrific background behind their cosmetics and cleaning supplies; they don’t want to face the reality of the situation. But for the millions of animals that are being tested on every year, they can’t ignore the reality, because it’s their reality every day.

Experimenting on animals dates back to the roman times, but since then the animal experimentation industry has grown massively and is now a multi-billion dollar industry. Every year millions of animals are killed in laboratory experiments worldwide. Animals are sometimes skinned alive and left to bleed to death. I decided to conduct this research because I worry about animal welfare. There are many different scenarios in which animals are experimented on. These include Medical research where testing on animals is not aimed at finding cures but finding ways of improving treatments to reduce things such as side effects. Medical testing on animals has and will continue to help the future of medicine. Genetic engineering is the fastest growing area of the animal experimentation franchise, already there are thousands of genetically modified animals. Product testing is where products such as makeup
