The Fight For Human Rights

Animal testing harms and violates the rights of the animal itself. Some people say it is okay because the animal does not know the difference between right from wrong. Animal testing creates a traumatizing experience for the animal. Their bodies become damaged from all the burning and allergic reactions they have to undergo from the chemicals. The animals do not know what is going on, nor do they know where they are because they have been taken out of their natural habitats. The change in environment is new to the animals, making them forced to accept the new area they would call home. Animal testing prohibits an animal from being free. Is it okay to test on animals because they lack the ability to know if the testing being done to them is moral or not? Animals do not have the ability to make their own moral judgment. It is not fair to harm an animal because they are living organisms that play an important role in the ecosystem.

Animals are used for a variety of different tests. Human disease cures are always tried on animals first, most make up must perform experiments with the product on animals first, and dogs and pigs are used to practice surgery on for surgeons. It is not fair and humane to conduct experiments on animals to make sure a product or procedure is safe for us to use or endure. There are no legitimate reasons that an animal’s life is worth less than our own. I think that animal's should have similar rights that people have because they too feel pain and experience emotions and just because they look different doesn’t mean that they are that much different than us.

Over 100 million animals get burned, crippled, poisoned and abused in United States labs every year. Animal experimentation or commonly known as animal testing, is where scientists test their chemicals and products on animals to make sure it is safe for human use. Animal testing should be used because it's not only harming the animals it's costing a lot of money and animal lives.Animal testing should not be used because it harms the animals. Some tests involve killing pregnant animals to test on their fetuses. ¨Many of the tests performed on animals in the name of science, opponents maintain, are downright barbaric, rendering their subjects damaged and disfigured.¨ (Animal testing: Is animal testing morally justified?)With the amount of tests being performed

The term “animal testing” refers to procedures performed on animals for the benefit of humans. An estimated 25 million animals are tested on each year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing. It is used for biomedical research, medical usage, behavioral research, cosmetics, and the list goes on. Research on living animals has been practiced since at least 500 B.C. Many argue that animal testing is necessary for research, but with the medical technology we have today, this has been proven incorrect. The cost of animal testing is hundreds of thousands per year in the U.S. Animal testing is cruel and should not be allowed because it is abusive, expensive, and there are substitutes.

An estimate of 1.4 million animals die each year due to animal testing. As people we have freedom, choice, and the right to live, however animals have a right to live in a world without suffering just as much as we do. Animals just like humans have emotions, thoughts, and feelings, so what makes it right to test on animals any more than to perform tests on humans? The benefits of testing on animals has still not been proven as the treatments that show promise in animals rarely work on humans. There are also many other options for testing techniques that we can use without performing harmful tests on animals, and finally it's entirely unethical. There are many alternatives overall so it is really still considered ethically right to take the freedom of animals just because we want to do research. Animal testing should no longer have a place in our modern day world.

The animal testing debate is centered on animal rights and moral status of animals. Some people believe that animals have a moral status, and it is unethical to subject them to unnecessary pain and abuse. Some people have kept animals such as dogs and cats and look upon them as part of their family. Ethicists feel that humans have no right to kill animals, subjecting them to human services or using them as means to achieve their selfish goals. I concur that animals have some moral status and rights, but people are more important than animals. It is morally right to use

Animal testing is wrong for various reasons. The history of animal testing goes back to the writings of the ancient Greeks and is defined as 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. Examples of animal testing include: forcing mice and rats to inhale toxic fumes, force-feeding dog’s pesticides, and dripping chemicals into rabbits’ eyes. Although, many people believe that animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments, innocent animals used in laboratories are deliberately harmed, for a company’s benefit, and are usually killed at the end of the experiment. Animal testing has negative effects on not only animals, but on society and the economy. Some reasons why include, but are not limited to: alternative methods exist that are safer, ethical, and cheaper; billions of dollars are wasted each year on animal testing because neither the corporations nor the customers are benefiting from it; and just because the product is tested for animals, it does not necessarily make it safe for humans. Therefore, because animal testing is unreliable, leads to billions of wasted dollars, and causes an incredible amount of animal suffering, we must begin to use alternative methods and raise awareness about this huge issue.

Animal testing is extremely unfair for those animals, and it is a kind of cruel and immoral behavior. To be honest, we cannot ignore it. However, when it comes to animals having right to live, eating animals must be mentioned. I want to ask if you care about the feeling of the animals that you want to eat. Everyone wants to live longer, and there is no doubt that animals want to. If animals have right to live as human beings do, why do you eat animals like sheep and chicken? Humans are at the top of the food chain, so it is normal for humans to eat animals, especially the common animals whose number is very large. Those animals used to do research are usually rabbits, frogs and other common animals, and to an extent, animal testing is equal to eating animals. Eating animals can provide energy to our bodies, and sometimes animal testing can benefit mankind and save those who are going to die. We can accept eating animals, so why not accept animal testing? Besides, animal testing is much more beneficial than eating animals. Therefore, animal testing should be

Humans have rights and animals are pretty similar to humans so why shouldn’t animals have rights. Animal testing laws should be more strict so not a lot of animals end up dying. Animals are an important part of this world, and if we don’t take good care of them and keep on killing them, then what are researchers going to do. Just like if you take out an animal out of a food chain then the whole entire food chain gets affected, if we take out animals

Humans share the same characteristics as animals. We look to some animals for companionship and unconditional love. No matter if it is from dogs, cats, guinea pigs, we all look for the same things when it comes to having pets. Animals today help us as well. We have seeing eye dogs that help some humans get around. Some people have even looked to pets to help teach responsibility to their kids. Animals that humans grow to love and get close to helps to decrease depression, relieve stress, and help with anxiety. We take these pets in as family. We even adopt pets and they become part of our families. We love and cherish these pets. Imagine your loveable pet being tested and abused. How would you feel if it was your pet being used and hurt? Some say they could not even imagine. So if you could not imagine your pet being hurt, then how could you imagine other animals being hurt? Just because you did not form a bond with these other animals does not it make it okay for them to go through the agony without someone fighting for their rights. Animal testing is wrong because it is unfair and inhumane. I strongly believe animal experimentation should be banned. Banned for

Animal testing is often cruel and inhumane. The Draize eye test, used by cosmetics companies to evaluate irritation caused by shampoos and other products, involves rabbits being incapacitated in stocks with their eyelids held open by clips, sometimes for multiple days, so they cannot blink away the products being tested. We do this to test if a mascara is harmful or not is dreadful. The fact that this has ever been allowed is nauseating. Another example of cruel treatment is when scientists use MPTP to replicate Parkinson's disease in a Marmoset. If we don’t want to go thru the experiment ourselves, then why should we have a living being that shares 99% of it’s DNA go thru it. We need to enforce the rules we have on animal testing or not this will continue

Animals across the world are used in animal testing and animal research these acts are wrong because animals have rights, feelings, and there are alternatives to animal testing.

During animal testing, many animals are killed after experimenting on them and the others remain alive with injuries and in captivity. 95% of the animals tested are not protected by Animal Welfare Act including mice, fish and birds and they are all suffering abuse and mistreatment. Even with the protection provided by the Animal Welfare Act, some horrific cases of animal abuse in the laboratories weren’t prevented. Some people also find it immoral to test and experiment on animals for the human benefit saying that animals have feelings and do suffer like humans which makes it unfair to experiment on them what cannot be experimented on humans only because they do not have the ability to express their feelings. However, animal rights supporters only oppose scientists but not the farmers who kill animals daily for food but call the scientists cruel for killing animals for the advancement of medical field although, 99% of animals killed are by farmers while only 1% is by scientists (Ian, Should Animals Be Used for Scientific or Commercial Testing?).

Each side of the animal rights debate have many legitimate points for their argument. Supporters of animal testing believe that it helps the development of many life-saving treatments for animals and humans, there is no alternative approach because they are similar to human beings and rigorous regulations prevent exploitation of animals in laboratories. Opponents of animal testing believe that it cruel and inhumane to experiment on animals, there are other approaches available to researchers, animal tests don’t predict the results on humans and that animals have tests forced upon them, with no choice. Although it is an expensive way of testing and at the same time, it is cruel and inhumane, animal testing brings more medical advancement to

Imagine being strapped down to a cold table, helpless, while painful, brain damaging procedures are being performed and there's nothing that can be done. Animal testing has taken place throughout history and has been argued on whether or not it is necessary. Many people start to disagree with using animals for biomedical research. On moral and ethical grounds, animal testing is far from necessary and leads to suffering and deaths of millions of innocent animals while causing physical and mental pain, permanent damage, and reflects badly on our progressive society.
