Argument Against Animal Testing

Animals are not like us on the physical part, but that doesn’t mean that we have the right to kill, hurt or even experiment with them. If you ever had a pet or knew someone related to you who had a pet, they’d probably always be talking about how kind, sweet, beautiful, and lovely their animals are. Animal are even used to test products such as Shampoos, perfumes and cosmetics. Those products aren’t like the ones we use, they have different types of chemicals and they try them on the animals to see if it will affect us. Animals testing should not occur because killing an animal is not helping us It’s messing up the world.

Are Zoos Unethical By:Kalynn Deppe An issue that has been hotly debated since the brink of zoos has been whether they are ethical or not. Although some believe that zoos can be beneficial to animals, thousands of research has shown this not to be true. The main reasons zoos are devious is because, there artificial environments are harmful, the animals are more prone to diseases, and it can damage children's views on society.

So, using animals is really useless because just because a drug is safe for an animal does not mean it will necessarily be accurate and safe for humans. PISC scientist Gilly Stoddard says “it is unconscionable that animals are dying as a result of the failure to update testing guidelines.” (O’Driscoll 8) Animals should not be dying because humans are using them for inaccurate tests.

The majority of people do not know the truth behind animal testing. The animals living conditions do not have regulations, so they are treated cruelly. Also the tests conducted on them are extremely unnecessary. Millions of animals are killed for experiments that are driven by idiotic curiosity. Also the results of these tests are close to and even sometimes have a zero success rate.

Hundreds of animals are being hurt everyday, but that can be stopped by eliminating animal testing. The Animal Welfare Act does not cover rats, mice, fish, or birds which are 95% of those animals are being used. Over 115 million dogs, cats, rabbits, and other mammals suffer and die every year, from animal testing. Although some people might say that animal experiments have contributed to many life saving treatments, animal testing should not be used, because it is unreliable, expensive and inhumane. Some people might say that some animals are similar to humans in many ways; however, most are not which is why animal experiments are unreliable.

It’s merciless to breed and cultivate millions animals for experimentation only to throw them away afterwards, especially when the information gathered from those experiments can be profoundly inaccurate and a waste of resources. The NIH, a government granting agency, used about $30 billion in 2012 to fund for research and development that included animal testing. Animal experimentation can be avoided in total with the sophisticated alternative and technologies that are available today. Since there are a profusion of alternatives to avoid the inhumane use of animal testing, animal testing in cosmetics should be prohibited entirely. In the long run, if cosmetic products cannot be labeled safe through animal testing, then there is no feasible reason to continue with the horrendous

Animals have existed by human’s side for millions of years, however, recently, certain animals are being used to test human products. Products that are not significant compared to the pain animals such as guinea pigs, dogs, rats; and rabbit are forced to endure. Would testing that one lipstick formula or mascara be worth the agony of a living soul? For some, the answer would be yes, our own selfish needs outweigh their effects on others. Perhaps some people would even be the ones testing on these animals as long as they get paid.

Cruel Captivity Animals caged in zoos are prisoners that never committed even one crime. Many people believe keeping wild animals captive in zoos is harsh and unnecessary, while others believe there are valid reasons to continue this archaic exploit. Confining wild animals in pens that are not remotely similar to their natural habitats does not educate the public about their existence, conserve their population, or provide a favorable quality of life for them; it is a cruel and unnecessary act of human selfishness. Zoo enthusiasts believe the public is educated about the animals they house. In fact, there was a time in history when that may have been true.

There are many cruelty-free brands, that are seemingly one-hundred percent against animal testing. However, many cruelty-free brands are owned by larger parent companies that do test on animals. For example; NYX, The Body Shop, IT Cosmetics, and Urban Decay are all cruelty-free brands owned by the parent company L’Oreal (crueltyfreekitty.com). L’Oreal does test on animals; this makes supporting the brands under it a harder decision. One of the reasons why people support these brands is because they hope that the parent company will take the hint.

Animal testing is not worth the cost of life. Animals are used for scientist to test out theories, medicine, and other life saving material. But more than a million animals are killed each year just for test. Those animals include mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds. The testing may not be harmful,

The scientists and doctors treat the living beings with such disrespect, ignorance, and cruelty. They treat it as if it is a test object, but not a living being. Also, animal use cannot always be reliable and accurate. For example, many drugs that appear safe and effective in animals fail in humans, or cause significant harm and sometimes even death. A 2004 study from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that 92 percent of drugs entering clinical trials following animal testing fail to be approved.

Poor defenseless animals fight for their lives every day to test out products they have no use for. These poor sweet creatures have been taken away their right to live to be caged and mistreated and they can’t do anything but sit there and take it. Day to day, more and more animals are dying at the cruel hands of these scientists. Animal Testing is an act of animal cruelty, because it is inhumane, there are other methods that can be used to avoid harming innocent animals and animals are very different from

Animal testing has been an ongoing debate for hundreds of years. I have done research on the benefits and withdrawals of animal testing. What you guys may believe is right might be different than the person sitting next to you. I will be talking about the failures of testing, he benefits, and what supporters and opponents say about whether or not animals have the same rights as humans. There has been many failures of animal testing.

Some of these experiments would never be used because some of them do not work or they are too dangerous for human use, but still the animals used those experiments would die. Also, animals are not used only for medical testing, it should not be done because medical testing at least had help us improving medical treatments, but cosmetic testing and other kinds of products like detergent does not. Animals should not be used to test these kind of products because this only harm the animals and does not leave us with anything that would truly help to improve our living conditions, the thing it does is to torture a lot of

Unfortunately Alive Millions of innocent people died in the many years Holocaust of 1933. In 2016, millions of innocent animals die every day during mass slaughter and experimentation as David Sztybel said in "Can the Treatment of Animals be Compared to the Holocaust?". Animals have been treated cruelly ever since the Ancient Greeks and Romans viewed them solely as possessions, but the first humane society against animal cruelty was founded in 1824(animal rights). Soon after, the start of animal testing began and said societies had to intervene. However, their attempts weren 't as successful as they had hoped because animal rights are still being fought for today.
