Why We Shouldn T Support Animal Testing

In our ever-changing world the race to find the best technological advancements has never been higher. Progress within the medical field has changed drastically in the last 50 years. “Health is driven by the technologies that cure the unhealthy. These technologies need to advance along with an advancing society. In the last five decades new and improved, less expensive, medicine has been produced” (Leonard). Behind all this advanced medicine are the technologies, or creatures, that are used to test and improve the medicine. Animals are used to test the drugs and medicine that are in route to be produced for human use. “The term "Animal Testing" refers to procedures performed on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology and diseases, assessing the effectiveness of new medicinal products” (Humane Society). There are people who side with, and agree that animal testing improves the lives of humans, and there are individuals who believe the harm this research brings to animals is unreasonable and can be prevented.

Animal testing has been used repeatedly in the history of biomedical research. Animal testing is done so that medical researchers comprehend health problems before they can develop a way to treat them. However, recently animal right groups have been criticizing and opposing any kind of animal experiments. They believe it is cruel and inhumane to use animals for testing because the tests conducted on animals are painful. Some countries agreeing with animal rights groups have even banned animal testing ignoring all of its benefits. Animal testing is innovative and has health benefits for both people and animals leading to life saving cures and treatments.

In conclusion, animal testing is wrong and it needs to stop. These animals are dying from things that can easily be avoided. The animals that are tested on don't always bring accurate results. People have talked about their experience with being tested on, yet we continue to use animals. These animals are innocent and most of them only know life I'm the testing facility. That is no way the

When a young girl is looking at a magazine ad for the latest eyeshadow makeup, she notices that the model has on a shade of eyeshadow that looks gorgeous, but did she ever considered how that eyeshadow was manufactured? That makeup product was more than likely tested on animals for eye and skin irritation. Many research labs are using defenseless animals for testing and unnecessary experiments. There are three different types of people that have different thoughts. The one type of person really does not seem to bring the situation to life, and pushes it to the back of their mind, while the other type of person stands for animal testing because it may help save someone's life. Many people believe it is alright for animals to be used for extensive examining and those people think that since animals have similar biological DNA, scientists can use them for testings. Although, there are people who believe that animal testing is not okay, and does not need to exist. People who think that animal testing is bad will say that animal testing can be torture. During the act of animal testing, animals have no say in being tested on. It can be considered animal cruelty. Animals are not treated fairly after being tested on. Animal testing is not always reliable with data. Animals should not be used in medical and/or cosmetic lab testing for several compelling reasons.

According to ProCon.org, an online resource used to research controversial issues, the United States alone uses twenty-six million animals for scientific and commercial testing. Testing products on animals is acceptable for various reasons.

Many animal activists argue against testing on animals; however, it is not as cruel as it seems. Testing is not as harmful on the animals as people may think, and it has a great purpose. Animal testing continues to advance society in a number of ways. Laboratory testing of animals should not be stopped because it is an effective way to test drugs, leads to important discoveries that save human lives, and it benefits the animals as well.

There is no denying that animal testing has led to many medical discoveries which have saved many lives. The first pancreases taken from dogs directly led to the discovery of insulin, which has saved many diabetics’ lives. This discovery is the back-bone to allowing animal testing to continue because it is proof that animal testing can lead to lives being saved. Animal testing is a controversy that has lasted for over 30 years, and it will continue to be the center of many debates until an equivalent form of testing is discovered that no longer puts animals in the line of fire. But until that day arrives, the question still stands. Should animals be used as test subjects? Though there are two answers to this question, each making logical points, I say that animals should no longer be used.

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.

Have you ever lost a loved one or even heard of someone passing away from a preventable disease that could’ve been stopped if the medicine to cure them was tested? About 21,000 people died around the world today from preventable illnesses. That number can easily be reduced to a much smaller number if doctors and scientists had the capability to test medications on animals. However, some argue that making an animal suffer is terrible, who would you rather want suffering? Your best friend? Or a random rat or mouse? The choice is yours. Animal testing should be used because, it can save lives, there is no other way to test the medicine properly and they help us to figure out what to change in the medicine so that it works the next time.

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.

Thesis: The debate on whether using animals is the correct choice of method for testing out experiments and products, is still up for discussion, considering that animals have helped us in finding many treatments and cures in the past. Today, with new technology, we no longer need the use of animals, as there are now alternatives to this practice. Companies and labs that originally started out using animals as test subjects are starting to switch over to new alternatives, as they are more accurate compared to the old methods that was used in the past.

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.

Animal testing is when researchers use animals to test out the effects of drugs and diseases. Sadly, this is something that ordinary people may not be aware of the awful things innocent animals endure behind closed doors in laboratories for scientist or researchers own personal gain. Animal testing has been practiced for centuries. It wasn’t until modern day century that others have realized how inhumane animal testing is and have protested against this act so much that it has caused the U.S. government to pass laws that prohibit and protect many animals from lab testing cruelty. Even when a law is made to protect them laboratory researchers still use mice as a benefit for their studies. A writer from an article that opposes animal testing has said that animals get anxiety when a laboratory researcher enters the room. It is also shown that they can develop other mental disorders as a result of the testing.

Did you know that more than 100 million animals are tested on and killed in a year from testing. Countless animals get tested on, on a daily basis. As well as they have made many stuff that helps humans. But animals should not get tested on because animal test do not reliably predict results in human beings, animals tests may mislead researchers into ignoring potential cures and treatments, and alternative testing methods now exist that can replace testing on animals.
