The Effectiveness Of Animal Testing

Animal testing has long played a part in the science of testing, and it still plays a very important role in the medical world. Testing on animals in order to create a cure for AIDS is one thing, but testing on animals for human vanity is another. Animal testing is used to test the safety of a product. It has kept some very unsafe substances out of the cosmetic world. However, in this day in age, animal testing is not the only way to test the safety of a product. Animal testing in cosmetics has decreased over the years. However, it is still used by many companies in America. Animal testing is not only cruel, but it is also unnecessary in today’s advanced scientific world.

Beaten, burned, and still loves. These are just a few things that animals have to go through when being used for testing, and being abused. One, however, who was put through pain and still loves is Gucci. Gucci, a three-month old chow mix was being chased down a road on May twenty first of nineteen ninety four by men who were out to kill. This three-month old puppy was hanged, beaten, and burned. When Doug James had saw the little ball of fire being chased by the three men he stepped in and saved the puppy.However, having to have his eye lids repaired, third degree burns,losing the tips of his ears, and despite all of that Gucci still loves.(Specker and Lspecker, 2015) The people who burned, hanged and beat Gucci had no morals. But they only got probation for what they did. Gucci was on the brink of only to know that the people who did this to her we're going to be roaming around. If those three men could do this to a three-month old puppy they could do it to any animal.(Specker and Lspecker, 2015) Animals should not be abused and tested on for human needs.

The effectiveness all up of this survey was good I didn’t have many problems with me getting information from people and collecting it all together and providing a analysis on what information was given to me. It was effective because I wanted to see people thoughts and opinions on how they thought about testing on animals and I had understood that most people are against that idea. I saw that people would take a cure for any type of disease even if it was tested on a animal because they seem to not have a problem with that because it would cure them. No one knows about any diseases that was cured from testing on animals. People mostly disagree that animal testing is worth the lost of the animals however some people are unsure on weather they

About 1.4 million animal die each year from animal testing.They are treated in harsh way and in poor conditions. Innocent animals are killed and if not they are tourchered. They should have the right to live freely. Although animal testing can be very useful, it harms lot of animals when there could be alternatives.

When you think of cosmetic animal testing, what images come to mind? Do pictures of burned eyes and irritated skin appear? Well, it should. The FDA (Food & Drug Administration) has given a claim stating, “The FD&C Act does not specifically require the use of animals in testing cosmetics for safety, nor does the Act subject cosmetics to FDA premarket approval” (“Product Testing - Animal Testing & Cosmetics” 1). According to this statement by the FDA, animal testing is not mandatory, so why do researchers continue to use it? It should be forbidden to use species of animals for cosmetic research and inhumane cruel experiments. Running test and experiments on innocent and voiceless animals can lead to the cause of their unnecessary deaths, have misleading research, and end up wasting (or costing) too much money.

Sciences and researchers have used animals for testing products for years and it still isn’t okay. Everyone has their own feelings towards animal testing. Some believe they are for companions and others believe they are a science experiment. How one views animals, doesn’t change that animals are still being tested and abused by research facilities and even cosmetic companies all over the world. Even though humans have benefited from animal research, the pain, suffering, and death the animals go through is not worth it. That being the case, animal testing should be banned.

The world has become very advanced through scientific discoveries in the past. As time continues to progress, so does the world 's knowledge. New discoveries are made every day that help with diseases and technology. During the developments and discoveries in the scientific field, people find that the richest discoveries in health or medicine generally depend on animal testing. According to "Animal Testing in the History of Anesthesia: Now and Then, Some Stories, Some Facts," the writer says, “There are many interesting anecdotes, […] about how dogs have been loved, named and tested by many anesthesiologists, […]. However, the contribution of experiments on animals such as rabbit, monkey, mice, guinea pigs etc., also played a significant role in the evolution of both general and regional anesthesia.” (149). This means the experts use many kinds of domestic animals for animal testing, like dogs and cats, in addition to wild animals, like monkeys and mice. Therefore, if people talk about laboratories, they should remember animal experiments. According to people who dislike the idea of doing testing on animals, those animals have the right to live; the other opinion supports the idea of animal testing, claiming it is an important part of research that leads to medical advancement that produces results and solutions for diseases prevalent in every time and place. Each year, huge numbers of animals are sacrificed for science, and all of these animals, regardless of their species,

On the other had, some individuals deem animal testing necessary for the furthering of the medical field. There have been illnesses and diseases that have been eradicated due to animal experimenting. One such disease a vaccine that was resulted by successful experimentation on animals to combat it is the poliomyelitis vaccine

When thinking of animal testing the first thing that pops into our mind may be animal cruelty, and unfair treatment. We all must set aside our personal beliefs and morals and, for a brief moment, think of the logical facts and advantages animal testing provides. When thinking of rabbits, mice, dogs, cats and other animals, the last thing that comes to mind is that they save lives. Animal research allows every day, common animals to save human lives. Vaccines, over-the-counter medicines, food, cosmetics, and everyday items we need must be tested before they can be considered safe and legal to be given to the public. Since no humans are willing to be tested on a daily basis, scientists had to resort to finding the best alternative that could have a chance in mimicking the human system when testing the products we use. Thus, animals were introduced into the medical and cosmetic laboratories changing human and animal history forever. We, as a society, would be nowhere near as advanced as we are today if it weren’t for the brave animals that have undergone testing no human would be willing to do.

Animals have played an important role alongside humans for a long time, whether it be as our cuddling companions, humble servants, or amusing entertainers; however, the fellow fauna inhabitants of earth have had a more crucial hand in the advancement of humanity then one might think. About every medical advancement in the past one hundred years came about by animal testing (“Forty Reasons”). People are very dependent upon the research and the experiments done on animals netherless some want to ban testing on animals. Animals should be used in scientific research because the research saves lives, the researchers care for the animals, and the research is properly regulated.

There are many reasons why animal testing should not be done and one reason is that it is bad science because not every medicine or product that is tested works. Imagine giving a lot of money to a charity and then finding out that it did not go to a charity but to a scam. It is

Over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year (Sharp). There are multiple alternatives than using lab animals, but labs still choose to use them. The lab animals are tortured for months or even years. Approximately 225 million animals are used for testing every year. Billions have been killed in the process. Isn’t it inhumane to use animals to test merchandise for humans? Many people say, “yes” to this question. However, scientists argue it is unavoidable and animal research can help save human lives. There are probable arguments for both sides. But the risk of using animals to test products for human use weighs an even greater risk than not using the animals. Alternatives are much more ethical. Even though humans can benefit from the testing, nevertheless, animals should not be used in research or to test the safety of products because the pain, suffering, and deaths of these animals are not worth the possible human benefits; just three of many examples are it is unethical, it is bad science, and it is wasteful.

Animal testing. These simple two words together creates multiple atrocious connotations such as inhumane, cruel, and popular form of research. However, this is not the case and it overshadow the benefits of such testing. These benefits include numerous treatments and cures which have saved millions of lives. Yet, animal testing is not the only means of research and, when possible, researchers do use other methods. For example, according to the California Biomedical Research Association, when feasible, researchers use numerous non-animal related research methods such as computer models and tissue/cell samples. Computer models are commonly used to determine the toxic level of a substance, and is a common research tool for scientists (“Why Are Animals”). In spite of such advance technology, animal testing is needed due to the complexity of the body system and multiple topics cannot be studied via computer model or petri dish such as blindness. Therefore, while many still believe that it is inhumane, animal testing is a necessary means to develop new life-saving medicines and vaccinations for both people and animals.

Animal testing is wrong because it keeps the animals in captivity; they are constantly trapped and used for human benefits. Animal testing is also harmful to the animals because they are sometimes hurt, or even killed due to the experiment. It is very unlikely that the animals are unaffected by tests done in the laboratory. In addition, animal testing is wrong and unnecessary since humans and animals are not the same. The effects of the experiment are sometimes completely different from animals to humans; therefore, they make poor test subjects.

The use of animals in scientific experiments, whether for the development of new shampoo or the cure of cancer is unethical, impractical, and expensive. In the United States, roughly 100 million animals are tested every year! You would think that with that many animal tests taking place, there would be a lot more cured diseases and lives saved, but that’s not what I see. Many animals are tested using very cruel methods, which not only harm the animals, but also harms our budget as animal testing can be very expensive with relatively few results.
