    Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Every year, more than a hundred million animals- including mice, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, and many more- are killed in the U.S. They are killed for laboratories in biology lessons, training, curiosity experiments, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. Experimenting on animals is a cruel way of testing products. Alternative testing methods now exist that can replace the need for animals. Most experiments involving animals are flawed, which wastes

    It is estimated by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) that over one hundred million animals are killed each year by animal testing. The term “animal testing” refers to experimentation that takes place before human clinical trials to determine the dosing, toxicity, and efficiency of products for humans. This includes animals being tested for medical research, cosmetic products, and curiosity-driven experimentation. Many times this leads to animals being treated inhumanely and has led

    Waking up everyday, waiting to feel the sharp, icy sting of a needle, while watching friends die hour by hour is a horrible, depressing way of life. Animals feel such a thing while subjected to tests in cosmetic labs all around the world. Therefore, animal testing should be banned in cosmetics because animals are poked and prodded inhumanly in laboratories, new scientific advances like growing human skin are available, and society wants safer ways to test maquillage products out. Therefore, banning

    One of the most pressing debates in our world today is the act of using animals for experiments in scientific labs. These scientists use cruel and unusual methods to get results needed by companies for them to sell their products as “safe” to humans. Often the results that are derived from these tests are not even applicable to humans due to our different DNA and human characteristics. For years, there has been a controversy surrounding the issue of whether it is ethical to test on animals. Groups

    What would you do if you were forced to live in filthy conditions, subjected to various tortures and horrifying ordeals? This is the life of an animal kept as a tool for scientific research. The debate over human animal testing has been ongoing for many years, starting as early as the 19th century. However, animal testing has been recorded as early as 500 BC, and has been practiced ever since. People have been advocating for more humane practices for animal testing since the 19th century, when Queen

However the tests that the animals are used are extremely painful and immoral. Although people have benefit from animal experimentation, people don’t

    If animals are so different from humans, then why should they be granted the rights and protection of humans as stated in our Constitution (Hurley, 1999, p. 49)? As the Bible states in Genesis 1:26, “And God said... Let them [human beings] have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,”(“ProCon.org”, 2015). Mankind has rule over animals, to respect them and love them, but also to use them as necessary (Harnack, 1996). The American

    You are in Sephora and the most beautiful eyeshadow is there, but notice it is one of the many brands that test on animals. You keep picturing the poor bunnies, kittens and puppies stuffed in cages starving or force-feed to so much they cannot move. The sadness in their eyes, the multiple surgeries and tests they must go through on a daily basis. Animal testing is not, but should be a banned form of commercial and scientific testing. In a world as advanced as ours, animals should no longer be the

    Imagine being confined in a cold cage, trembling, isolated and deprived from the outside world you once lived in; suddenly realizing your life is now in the palms of a large human in a white lab coat. Every year in the United States, more than 25 million animals partake in biomedical experimentation, product and cosmetic testing, and science education (Neavs). With countless effective, reliable, and beneficial alternatives relating to the human species for which the drug is for, there lies a question
