Why Is Animal Testing Wrong

Do you love animals? Do you think using animals for testing is good? Well scientists and vets test on animals to find a way to cure diseases like cancer in humans. If the tests fail the animal has to die or they will get really ill. They even use cosmetics on animals (they apply makeup on them.) Some countries ban animal testing for cosmetics. Animal testing is torture for animals and should be banned everywhere.

Animals very rarely serve as models for the human body. Many people are brought up with the idea that animal experimentation is necessary to insure the safety of humans, but in reality, these experiments are creating only harm to animals. Animals have done nothing to deserve this backlash, and by educating the public on the true unsuccessfulness of animal testing, the ethical side is forced out in the open. The argument ‘Animal Testing is Bad Science’ by the People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), argues that ethics dictate the value of each life, and that no life is overthrown by another. This well formulated argument effectively integrates ethos, logos, powerful structure, and robust premises to persuade the audience.

If rabbits could speak, they would probably tell you to stop supporting many of your favorite companies. Even your most trusted household brands, such as Maybelline, Arm & Hammer, Listerine, and even Lysol contribute to the millions of innocent animals subjected to cruel and wasteful product testing every year. These and many other widely popular brands implement animal testing during the production, modification, and design of their products. This testing is extremely dangerous to animals and in some cases humans as well. In spite of this, products American citizens use on a daily basis come from companies that test their products on animals and the consumers of these products are virtually blind to the evils that lie behind them. Animal testing is immoral and should be abolished because it tortures innocent creatures, is an ineffective method of testing a product, and is far more expensive than the alternatives that exist.

*Screech* the animals barely make out as they are being ripped out of their cages knowing they will soon be put through more. AS if last time it wasn’t enough. Is this what we want to put animals through anymore, or are we just going to keep them suffering? An issue that is commonly debated is about animal testing and whether it is good or bad. Others may agree that it is beneficial, but in fact animal testing is cruel and should no longer be tolerated. First of all animals are not humans, we are different creatures with different ways of life and conditions. Another reason is that there are many deaths all together and what happens after the testing is done, is horrible. After all there are many alternatives, this is not the only thing that

According to “Breakthroughs Might Mean the End of Animal Testing” if a product or chemical is safe for animals, only 8% of those products will work on humans.(John Ericson 1) Animals have been used for testing for thousands of years, due to their similarities with humans. Over the years public support has significantly decreased. The cruel practice has sparked controversy and needs to be stopped. Animal testing is used throughout the U.S which is why it needs to be banned. If animal testing was banned worldwide, it would prevent millions of animal deaths.

Thousands of animals are hurt and even killed because of animal testing every year. Scientists use animals of all kinds, apes, mice, rabbits, cats, etc. to experiment on. These experiments range from giving them drugs, to see what effect they might have on humans, to testing what extreme heat would do to the human body. The outcome of these experiments are often harm and even death. Animal testing is not morally justified because it causes harm to live animals, there are suitable alternatives to animal testing, and there are too many differences between humans and animals to be able to call the outcome “Accurate”.

Have you ever witnessed a white mouse with the terror filling his eyes as he looked out of his bleak cage and into the face of the big man with the lab coat? Or have you ever seen a pregnant rabbit being tortured by the people you call scientists? One of the questions facing society today is whether or not animals should be used in scientific experimentation. Animal rights activists have pointed out the fact that animals play an important role in nature and human’s lives. Killing animals for any purpose is one of the steps that will destroy Mother Nature as well as the human race. For this reason, animal testing should not be used in scientific welfare and cosmetic industry.

Eyes being injected with chemicals, tests that are causing mutations, an endless cycle of torture. Every life is just as important as another. If all those things were done to humans just to have a better appearance it would be a way bigger deal. Instead scientists are doing this to animals and most don’t seem to care as long as they get their long volumized lashes, their plump colorful lipsticks, their soft hair, their de-wrinkle skin replenishing lotions, no one cares as long as they’re benefitting from it. Animal testing shouldn’t be allowed; It should be banned. Testing cosmetics on animals is not only unnecessary but also cruel and inhumane. Things like mascara aren’t just tested on “gross rats” but also dogs, cats, bunnies, pigs, sheep, monkeys, birds, ferrets and many more cute little animals.

Animals have always been the main source of companies to test for the safety of their products. Animal testing can be traced back to Greek scientists such as Aristotle experimenting on live animals. Animals were being tested on because doctors wanted to make sure their products were safe for humans. So, instead of having to put humans at risk with their unknown products, doctors thought it would be safer to test on animals first. This practice is still widely known today, and many people find it acceptable. Animal testing is understandable in the sense that products should be tested for safety first before being released to the public to use. However, many people find animal testing to be cruel because scientists are putting animals through harsh conditions such as being confined to a small area or being abused for disobeying. Those who find it cruel, do not understand how people do not see what is wrong with torturing these animals when there are many alternatives. Animals are exposed to dangerous chemicals that could put their life at risk,

Did you know animal testing puts antidote for human in animals bodies and they might never work? The more they put human antidots in animals bodies the more they put animals in danger. It's clear that animal test is harmful to the animals because the reaction to drugs in an animal's body’s are different from the reaction in our bodies because of all the different kinds of animals. Also human illness will never be seen in animals. Last replacing animal testing does not mean we're putting human patients at risk we could test on other things like our cells.

When it comes to the topic of Animal Testing, most of us will readily agree that alternative methods do exist that can replace the need for animals. Where this agreement usually ends is on animals are different from humans and therefore make poor test subjects. I agree that there are other methods but I also disagree that the animal are poor test subjects because a drug might work on a cell in a test tube but how will it work on a human. We don’t know until we test a living creature.

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.

An estimated 26 million animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing (PROCON.ORG, 2015) and More than 4 million animals are experimented on inside British laboratories in 2012 (ANIMAL AID, 2014). Killing animals by laboratory experiments generates a lot of anxiety about the future of wildlife, which led to the writing of this essay. In the beginning of this essay, It will discuss both Points of View against testing on animals. After that it will demonstrate review of cruelty and brutality suffered by the experimental animals. It will then focus on the alternative methods and finally It will be shown that testing on animals is out of date. In spite of the practice of experimenting on live animals gives

Today, I’m going to talk to you about 4 things. Those being; why animal testing is a problem andI Introduction

A quote from an experimenter showed his view on animal testing “Because the animals are like us.” Experimenters were asked why it is ok to test animals the answer would be “Because the animals are not like us.”
