Animal testing has become one of a number of controversial issues because of the effects that it has on animals. Supporters of animal testing justify these effects because they believe that animal testing is the only way to find new cures for diseases. Research that has been done on this matter has proven it to be an ineffective way of finding cures. Furthermore, the reason why animal testing should not continue is because it leads to animals having psychological problems, dwindling of the number of endangered animals and cures that have been proven on animals do not work on people.…
“A dog, maybe a monkey, only a rat— someone inhuman, less than human, maybe even the same— cries in the dark and cannot bear another moment of pain. He dreams of a place called home but waking remembers it is only a dream. Yet maybe they will think of you with the soap they use to wash away dirt, little sins they forget or choose to ignore, with the powders and shadows they wear to hide truths, or the polish they sweat over so their floors shine just so. Yes, the rest of the world, in its way does remember you but thinks nothing of what you have given so they can have more” (Newbury 1). This short passage was written to show how inhumane our civilization is for using living creatures as test subjects.…
Each year, over 100 million animals- including mice, rats, frogs, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, fish, and birds- loose their life due to animal testing. Scientists claim animal testing is the best way to develop medical treatments. However, animal cruelty…
While scientists often argue that animal testing is necessary for medical advancement, it can be considered inhumane and is not always necessary. Animals are used in research to determine the safety of products, advance in science, study disease, and develop forms of treatment. While there are alternatives for…
Utilizing living animal for the benefit of researcher and for the testing many types of products has been a matter of heated debate for for many of years now. Many people consider animals as pets or companions; whereas others look upon animals as only aids for researchers to study on. Despite peoples feeling towards animals, the reality is that animals across the country and around the world animals are being abused by cosmetics companies and research facilities. Even though humans sometimes benefit from successful animal testing, the pain, the torment, and deaths of the animals are not worth the potential benefits it may bring to humans. However, With all the new advancements in medical and scientific technology, the pain and suffering of…
Animal testing is the use of animals for experimentation to determine the efficiency of drugs. Animal testing has resulted in numerous amounts of medical breakthroughs in science. Animal testing has saved millions of human’s lives around the world, but killed just as many animals’ lives as well. Many animals…
Animal testing has been around for thousands of years and has strong support and opposition. Animals are used to test everything from makeup, to medical, and household chemicals. Those in favor of using animals for testing are looking to save human lives as well as reduce human pain and suffering. Those against animal testing say that animals often are not similar enough to humans and that they suffer unnecessarily. In order to know about animal testing, it is important to know its History, Benefits, and Negative effects.…
Is Animal Testing Worth It? Every year, nearly one hundred million animals --including mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, etc.-- die in many United States laboratories because of cosmetic, medical and biology testing, and experiments that serve no purpose. To understand the true terrors of animal testing, people need to know what animals are going through. Animals in laboratories suffer from day-to-day protocols and laboratory life, many do not even get a chance to experience fresh air or sunshine because they live in cages.…
Clearly, animal testing is crucial for saving the lives of humans. It is more reliable, cheaper and it actually works! We should stop pretending that there is a more precise way to test and just except that it is necessary to finding the cures of…
Animal testing is an unnecessary part of science that should be gotten rid of completely. Instead of sacrificing the lives of innocent animals, we should spend our time studying the cells of humans and how the product can impact someone before testing it on humans. Animals used for scientific or product testing are under an unnatural and stressful environment, one they would otherwise never come across in life, causing the animal to not react as it should. The Animal Welfare Act states that animals can be burned, shocked, and poisoned. They also state that any experiment that wants to be tested is prohibited no matter how trivial it may be.…
Millions of human lives are saved each year from products only made possible by animal testing. Animal testing is the practice of testing potentially harmful cures and treatments on animals, such as mice, before being released publicly. Some say that testing practices are inhumane, and because of this animal testing should be outlawed, pointing out outdated photographs. Others see the great benefits given to medical research because of these tests. Animal testing is irreplaceable, highly regulated, and has contributed to countless life-saving cures.…
Most people believe that Animal testing is unethical and unnecessarily cruel. But the truth is that Animal testing is a necessary evil. Animal testing is necessary for many reasons. It has resulted in many medicine breakthroughs, it keeps cosmetics safe and it is much better then testing on humans. Animal testing has impacted almost every single medical breakthrough!…
After studying multiple views on animal testing I have come to realize my personal view has now changed since the start of my research. Before undergoing heavy study into animal testing I believed that all types of animal testing should be stopped, but now I believe that the idea is very beneficial and should only be done when the rights of the animal are considered. In the coming years, hopefully, more regulations can be passed to ensure that all animal’s lives are protected during experimentation. Although most animals are treated with care and no pain is dealt to them when undergoing testing, it would be a lie if I stated no animals are harmed during the process. Animal testing is extremely useful in developing life-saving drugs and medicine.…
Though I concede that in some situations, animal testing may be useful, such as in immensely important medical studies, I still maintain that it is unnecessary to make an animal suffer and be discriminated against. Although some people may think that animal testing is healthy and beneficial to humans, I believe that animal testing is unethical and utterly wrong because of the unfair repulsive treatment that animals receive from scientists. This topic is important because the world we live in is as much an animal 's world as it is a human’s world and right now humans are discriminating and enslaving…
Animal testing is a broad subject with many crucial elements. Although, the term, animal testing, is essentially defined as the use of non-human models as testing material. The number of animals used as testing subjects are continuing to rise all over the world, particularly in the United States. Every year an estimated 26 million animals are used just in the United States alone for scientific and commercial testing purposes (Hajar). While there may be some benefits of animal experimentation, the drawbacks are what everyone needs to consider concerning the welfare of animals as well as the ethics of these studies being performed everyday.…
