The Pros And Cons Of Animal Testing

Animal testing can go from good thing to a terrible thing in a matter of seconds. Animal testing dates to ancient Greece in 300 B.C. Greek philosophers and scientists practiced on animals to find scientific solutions and medical cures. The benefits of animal testing include pacemakers for heart disease, vaccines, and treating conditions such as a brain injury. However, the downside of animal testing is that it is cruel to the animals, can have misleading results, and ninety-five percent of animals are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act. Also, breakthrough results have been made without animals and alternative animal testing is cheaper than using animals for experimentation.

The very first reason why animal testing should be banned is elementary: it is cruel and unnecessary. Approximately 17-22 million animals are used for testing each year in the United States. Substances are injected into the animal, chemicals are force-fed, irritants are rubbed into the eyes and

Animal testing for cosmetics and medicine should be banned. Everyday thousands of animals are being tortured for science. The experiments that are performed on these poor animals are very inhumane. Scientists have a choice to make, they can choose to use animals and torture them or they can use alternatives like artificial skin from humans and/or animals to see how they react. For example, In “The 5 Worst Animal Experiments Happening Right Now” the author states, “Every year, more than 100,000 primates are experimented on in the United States. Monkeys in labs are subjected to painful, invasive, and irrelevant experiments. They’re starved and restrained, and they’re infected with diseases and pumped

The life of an animal in testing is almost like you being in prison for a crime you didn't do. Animals in labs never know when their next meal will be, why they're trapped in a cage, when the next time they are going to be tested on, or why any of this is happening to them. Animal testing is when animals are forced to be tested on with products for human use. Some people say it will benefit humans and animals, but that is not the case at all. This topic is controversial because some people,who support it, say it's because of their religion, but other people, who don't support it, say it's cruel and inhumane for animals to be forced test subjects. People shouldn't use animals to test on. It is cruel, not fair to animals, and inhumane.

Almost every medicine that can be found in an average person’s medicine cabinet has been tested on an animal at one point or another. A government funded corporation called the Food and Drug Administration, abbreviated as the FDA, is in charge of making sure that all drugs, cosmetics, biological products, and more are efficient, secure, and safe for human usage. The FDA will not allow any drug to be released or sold to the human population if it has not first been tested on animals. In fact, when a drug is first created it is tested on animals before humans are even allowed to test the drug at clinical trial centers. Whether or not animal testing should be done for scientific purposes, has been a widely argued topic for many years

Many times tester animals are forced to wear cosmetics, or take certain drugs, just so that the scientists can see the effects it on the animal. Scientists have done experiments on monkeys where they drilled screws into their heads. Every year, over a hundred thousand monkeys are shipped into laboratories from their homes in Africa or Asia. These journeys are extremely long and difficult, and the animals often get no food, water, or care. Many die along the way. The “lucky” ones who survive are then “loaded onto trucks . . . must endure days-long transport to labs, where they will live a ‘life’ of systematic torture.” (5 Horrific Animal Experiments...) Over 100 million animals die each year due to animal testing. (See above source). Proponents of animal testing may bring up the point that laboratories don’t have to keep the animals in such terrible living conditions, but in many cases, the experiments done on the animals themselves are just as horrible. Also, better living conditions generally cost too much for the companies doing the testing, who want to spend as little money as possible to get maximum

Have you ever felt insecure about your appearance? Do you wear makeup to feel more beautiful? Did you know in order for you to feel beautiful an innocent life has been destroyed? Animals are not only being tested on for makeup; they are also regularly used for cruel and extreme medical experiments. Although animal testing has created many medical advancements, it simultaneously degrades and causes harm to the helpless animals.

According to the National Institutes of Health, animal testing has been around since the days of philosopher Aristotle. According to ProCon.org, there are an estimated 26 million animals used for scientific and commercial testing in the U.S. alone. Animal testing has brought many good things to the medical world, such as the treatment various disease. Also, the animal is being tested by many cosmetics companies. On the other hand, organizations like PETA- People of Ethical Treatment of Animals have fought against the medical testing of animals. There are pros and cons that come with the usage of animals in the biomedical and cosmetic testing, and each side needs should be carefully examined before deciding one way or another.

In conclusion to me animal testing is not ok for me because i don't like how they kill them feed them with drugs and injected with chemicals, This is just dirty way to treat all the animals like this and the government should stop the drug animal testing before they do any damage to the environment where they

Over one hundred million animals every year die from animal testing, in the medical and cosmetic fields alone (“Experiments on Animals: Overview”). Animal testing is as big of a problem today as it has been in the past. Most people do not agree with animal testing today but years ago it was one of the only ways of testing. It was considered, if not the only, effective and efficient ways of testing a product’s toxicity. To date, animal testing is not warranted because of the development of new technology and past discoveries. Many organizations and brands publicly oppose animal testing. The companies that stand against animal testing are broad and diverse, ranging from medical to cosmetic testing, advocating that at its core, this issue is

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be forced to do things against your will? Every year more than 100 million animals suffer each year. They are forced to eat, get physically hurt, and overall being traumatized. Despite animals not being exactly like humans, they still feel the same pain and emotions as us. Animals should not be used in medical testing or product testing because animal testing is cruel and inhumane with animals being forced to do things they wouldn't want to do.

Do you think that animal testing is economically sound? Animal testing is wrong for the

More than 100 million animals are killed in United States laboratories every year. These animals include mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish and birds. Many companies and cosmetic brands still test on animals, even knowing the torture that comes with it. During this testing there are several different types of tests being ran on the animals, most are painful and cruel. There are many questions about animal testing, is it necessary? Is it humane? What happens during testing? What can one do to solve the problem?

Animal testing is something that is extremely prevalent in our world. It is crucial for any medical issues and many other day-to-day things we do and use. People, though, do not like the fact that we kill innocent animals everyday. In our society, there is a lot of animal abuse. It is sanctioned and legal to test on animals, even if that means that we harm and abuse animals. There is no limit to how much the animals are harmed because they are not protected by laws since testing is completely legal. This is an issue that is not really talked about, but needs to be discussed. Animal testing results are not an accurate predictor of the effects of many products on humans. If this is true, why do we test on them? The supporters of animal testing rely on scientific evidence and experiments to prove that the results of animal testing will benefit humanity, but the people who protest against animal testing want to protect the rights of all animals and try to find flaws with the scientific experiments being done on animals.
