The Importance Of Animals For Animal Testing

Have you ever wanted to go into space? Well, many animals did during the beginning of the Space Race and it was very necessary. This was because we did not know if we could even survive in space. We also did not have the technology to figure it out digitally. Another reason why it was necessary was that we had many questions we wanted questions for on how our body would react in space. With these 3 reasons and evidence to go with them, I will show why sending animals into space was necessary.

Ever since the beginning of human history, to the reign of the Mongols, and even to the colonization of the Americas, disease has played a role in shaping society. Its negative impacts has depopulated many cities, countries, and empires. In the distant past, it was quite difficult to avoid contagious diseases. However, in today’s society, steps have been taken to discover new effective modes of treatment through animal testing. Such testing; however, has proved to be quite a controversial issue due to ethics and its utilization of animals. Despite any objections, the use of genetically bred animals is imperative for the purpose of discovering new medications to treat various terminal diseases.

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?

The Science world evolved greatly throughout the past hundreds of years and animal testing was apart of science even back then. Animal Testing started about 1000 years ago, and it is still used today in today's science (" Animal Testing"). One of the first animal experimentation was from around 450 B.C from a Greek Philosopher Alcmaeon ("Animal Testing"). Animal testing is one of the many ways to find out side effects and solutions to many drugs, medicines and diseases. More than 100 million animals are locked alone in a cage. Doing tests and being forced to take medicines, chemicals and be taken in for experiments (Goodman). Even though the animals might suffer from the drugs and medication, they are used to solve and help cure various diseases.

Over 26 million animals are tortured and tested on every year, in the United States alone. Most are used for testing medical treatments, which people for animal testing say has saved countless numbers of lives, but how many has it destroyed in the making? Although testing on animals has lead to major scientific breakthroughs, the way in which they reach them is incredibly inhumane. We having the ability, should try our best to stop this wide spread animal testing because the tests are inhumane, the animals are abused during the tests, and the results can be achieved in other ways.

Long term thinking and the invention of new technologies and cures as result of animal testing could possibly be more beneficial for the world as a whole, while short term thinking that views hurting animals for possibly no beneficial outcome would benefit the individual animals that are being tested

18% would feel safe if an animal is said to be safe on a product.

Growing up I learned that everything was created with love. Humans, plants, animals, all living things were put in this world for a purpose. One of these things that breathes life into this world are animals. Growing up I learned about animals in class, and grew an interest for them. Their shape, their features, the different actions and skills that each animal has. Animals are all unique in their own way. But, we tend to use these animals. If they are not pets, or considered as pets then humans take the advantage of using them. They are used for things such as clothes, shoes, purses, and many other different things that we use every day. Animal testing is one of the worst things that humans partake in against these

Animal testing has been around for hundreds of years, scientists back then would perform experiments on living animals to get a better understanding of anatomy and physiology. I believe animal testing has been a massively important thing to science and should be continued. Animal testing has gave us many cures and animals bodies functions and organs are similar to ours which give us efficiency.

Even though animal testing has only recently become a topic of discussion, animal research has been around since 500 B.C (“Animal Testing”). In the olden days, animal research was used to better understand the functions of the body. Greek scientists performed testing on living animals. During animal testing they examined nerves and tendons in order to further understand their functions (“Animal Testing: A Long”). Today in the United States, about 26 million animals are tested for medical and commercial reasons each year. According to the Foundation for Research, animal species that are tested on include: rats, dogs, mice, nonhuman primates, and rabbits (“Animal Research Behind Top Drugs”). Results from these tests are used to create medicine,

According to the medical schools, the average of the science teachers that use real animals today are 8 of 154. In 1982, 107 of 124 U.S. medical schools used real animals to teach science. In addition, there are a lot of campaigns want to stop that from happening, but also there are a lot of companies are testing their new products on the before they offer them for sale. In my opinion, animals are great creatures and we should save their lives. We should not use the animals on medical test because it can end their lives and it will waste a lot of money.

Although animal testing is so wide in its fields of animal use, I will be arguing about the uses of monkeys/chimpanzees.

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.

For the past years, the population around the world have been more concerned about the animal’ conditions with the help of some organizations like PETA (people for an ethical treatment of animals) or American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Therefore, some governments decide to change their laws to protect the animals. In such manner, we can see changes from the European Union (EU), Israel, and India because the actions of those big organizations and the augmentation of the concerned by their population. They decided to ban the sale of any cosmetics or cosmetics ingredients that have been tested on animals. These marketing bans mean that companies all around the world will have to abandon animal testing for cosmetics if they want to sell them in these huge markets. It’s a huge victory for the animals’ condition around the world. However, it’s not all the country that decides to make an important change. In fact, our country regulates animal’s testing, but doesn’t bann like the EU do. Also, a big market like the USA allows only a minimal protection for testing animals. Consequently, even if we think that advanced have been made for the animals’ conditions, some big steps still need to be made by many governments around the globe to change the fact that we exploit animals in all the possible ways that humans had thought about. We need to be concerned with this ethical, moral and cultural problem in many countries and our government need to change

Do you know how products are deemed safe for human use or consumption? In the 1940s the polio virus killed thousands of people around the world every year. In 1952 polio reached its peak in the United States with over 21,000 fatal cases. After a vaccination was developed in the 1950s and the 1960s, polio was nearly eliminated has a public health threat. Today children get routine vaccine that provides protection for life against the disease. Millions of people are healthy adults because of vaccines that were made possible by animal testing (Benefits of).
