About Animal Testing? Kaylee Smith 9-6-2017 AGR 199 Introduction and Background Not very many people think about the fact that a majority of the products they buy have been tested on animals, let alone animal testing in general. Animal testing has been going on for many years, with the use of dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, mini pigs, and farm animals. When someone brings up animal testing there usually is an argument about the pros and cons. Many people are against it because the animals are being
There are over 26 million different types of animal being tested on for research each year in the United States. Animals are used for testing every year for human research. Different animals go through serious pain, in order for humans to facilitate growth in different fields of study. Many animals are used in order to study diseases and potential cures for the diseases. New research chemicals are tested on animals with similar structures to humans, to see if the medicine can help with certain diseases
CON Position: Proponents /Perspectives Against: While the pros to animal research are positives on humans, it is negatively affecting the animals themselves. Using animals for medical research is inhumane because they are left in these awful conditions. These animals are being mistreated in captivity because humans need them for their own research. The animals used in these experiments are treated very poorly because, they are subjected to force feeding, forced inhalation, deprived of food and water
Animal Testing is a enormous upset in the word today. Animal activist have been trying to put an end to it for years , but to no avail. Animal testing is when scientist will use animals to do experiments on . They will either hook heavy machinery to these poor defenseless animals or inject them with harsh chemicals just to see if its okay for human use. Over 26 millions of animals are used every year in just the united states alone for these cruel acts by the hand of man. Testing on animals have
and who is involved with creating it? Well, if you know the sources and ingredients of most hygiene products on today’s market, you may be aware that animal testing is the method used to create the product. Animal testing started back in the year of 1966, which was passed by the federal Animal Welfare Act, the method involves testing cosmetics on animals to determine the safety and possibility of allergic reactions caused by products that humans use. Jeremy Bentham once said “ The question is not, can
Tests Are For Students-Not Animals Animal testing; appealing or atrocious? Each year, more than 100 million animals are experimented on and killed in laboratories for medicinal training, classroom lessons, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. Animals are not objects. Many Americans fight over the pros and cons of this two-sided argument. Although animal testing may further advance the medical field, scientific experimentation on animals is unfavorable among a large portion of the
through animal testing. Animals in captivity are not only used to advance medical research, but also to prevent species extinction and for educational purposes. The debate about holding animals’ captive has been a long and heated one that has no endpoint anywhere in sight. The main argument of the opposition to using animals in biomedical research, zoos and aquariums is that animals are treated in inhumanely. While it may be true that in certain instances animals do have to undergo harsh testing such
“Each animal bred or used for research, whether a mouse, fish, or monkey, is an individual capable of experiencing pain, suffering, and distress” (“Animal” 2013). The advancements in technology today had sparked a debate worldwide on whether it is right or wrong to use animals for experimentation in laboratories. With newly advanced scientific technology, experts are able to utilize advanced technology to simulate functions of the human body on a much smaller scale, including microchips of human
people be okay with this tiny animal being tortured? Animal experimentation is wrong and cruel to animal species. Medical and cosmetic testing has been done for years and it has been a controversial issue for some time. Some people having been debating whether or not there should be animal testing for past years. As stated by Sally Driscoll and Laura Finley, animal experimentation has been used for beneficial research, but is not worth the lives and abuse of the animals. Sadly, the ProCon organization
explores four articles relating to experimenting on laboratory animals in order to answer two questions: should we continue to use of animals for testing and what are the alternatives of animal testing. It first explores two published articles that describes pro and cons of use of animal for testing. Stephanie (2009) argued about issue and ethics for laboratory animals. Doke and Dhawale (2013) suggest an alternative of animal testing. It explores the strategy of 3 Rs that is reduction, refinement
