Animal Testing By Frankie L. Trull

However, the pill went on to cause more than 10,000 babies to be born with birth defects (Science). Thousands of babies had deformities because tests on hamsters and rats showed the pill to be effective. Additionally, “Animal tests on the arthritis drug Vioxx showed that it had a protective effect on the hearts of mice, yet the drug went on to cause more than 25,000 heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths before being pulled from the market” (Vioxx). Animal testing is extremely misleading in the medical field. Scientists attempt to link the results of testing drugs on animals to its effectiveness on humans.

Humans use makeup for special occasions and medicine to help with a sickness. Due to this scientist try to make new makeup and new medicine, and they do this with animals. From a diversity of animal species, to animals of all ages are used in terrifying research and tests. Over 100 million animals die each year just from make up, medical research and testing. Some people hate rodents including mice and rats, but using them for testing is not okay.

Over hundred million animals die from testing and animals die more from testing than hunting. This also led to the sixth mass extinction in the world. Over seventeen thousand in to a hundred thousand animals are dying and we are the ones causing it. About a hundred million animals die from tests and some scientists run the same test everyday and if the tests are deadly they could be killing animals quicker. About ninety percent of animals are in laboratories living in terrible conditions.

2.0 Body Content 2.1 Reduction A way of justifying animal testing is to reduce the number of animals involved in animal testing. In 1970s, 5.5 million of various animals including chimpanzees, dogs, mice, rabbits, monkeys etc. are involve in the medical research field as test subjects for various experiments (PETA, 2014). However, some experiments were not beneficial to the development of the medical field but cost over a million dollar. In the United States of America, 16 billion dollars had been used on animal experimentation- 1.9 million dollars are used on the experimenting on heart diseases on dogs conducted by Ohio State University, 5 million dollars were used on obesity experiments conducted by Oregon National Primate Research Centre, while 16 million dollars were used by Harvard University to fund 1200 individual experiments on drug addiction by using monkeys as test subjects.

The use of the animals in the past, present, and future are getting worse as the time goes on. Places such as a laboratory or factory, who make the medications for humans, do not work as expected, and most labs do not even know about because of the things they do. By making all products non-animal tested it would save money, it would save many animals lives, and it would make customers rather that it was not tested. An alternative to animal testing is to use electronic devices because they are so advanced now they could simulate the same thing. All in all animal testing should not be

What if a bunch of giant animals took you from your natural home, nearly starved you, then tested on you with weird equipment in someplace strange? Yeah, pretty awful. This is what the animals have to deal with when being tested on. The animals also have had injuries caused by animal testing and most of them die in the process so the scientists have to get new animals to test on. This cycle goes on and on.

Animal testing is cruel and immoral because, approximately every year one million animals die from having experiments on them for different types of cure for human’s diseases. One solution is to stop the animal testing. One of the alternatives is The Non-Invasive technique and Vitro testing. ´´I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animal is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further´´ (Mark Twain). First of all, animal testing is the use of different type of animals in medicine and cosmetics experiments, most of the animals used on it are mice, rats, fish, rabbits, dogs, monkeys and cats.

While some may state that animal testing is abominable, there are far more reasons why animal testing is a necessary practice. Some reasons why animal testing is very important is that it increased the average human lifespan by 30 years, and it increased the mortality rate by cutting down from 5.5% of deaths per live birth to 0.5%. Additionally, animal testing helped many animals from diseases like anthrax and rabies, and also saved large numbers of animals from extinction. However, some people believe that animal testing should be taken away and replaced with other experiments instead. On the other hand, animal testing is required to be performed on cosmetics to ensure the safety of humans.

Cloning animals is a great idea and I think they should totally clone animal and bring back extinct animals. They need to do this and they will bring things that we need and it would be fun and it would help us.The reason it would help us is because of the way that we would use our resources. Cloning animals has been a debatable topic since 5 July 1996 the reason behind it is the first big breakthrough hit when they cloned their first major animal. This animal is known as Dolly the sheep. “It can produce a larger amount of animal population.” Cloning can both sides on how to create animals with identical genetics.

Animal research and testing is necessary to develop new medicines, treatments, and therapies for millions of diseases and illnesses. Even though some people argument that it is not necessary, without animal testing thousands of millions of people would now be dead. Thanks to animal research we know about the effects of certain medicines in the human body, thanks to animal testing we have discovered the cure for diseases that killed people and made them and their families suffer. Animals also benefit from the testing since most human diseases also affect animals; some of the medicines
