Research indicates that animal testing is against the Welfare Act of 2011. Animals are cute, defenseless, innocent, and need to be protected by humans. It is wrong to have animals be cruelly injured, or even killed, while being used in tests that can be done using cloned tissue samples and today’s advanced computer technology. Research laboratories are being cruel to animals, hurting them and sometimes even KILLING them, and this is against the Welfare Act of 2011. It doesn’t make any sense to have animals be tested on for medicines that don’t work on humans. According to the database, most experimental medicines that succeed during animal testing malfunction in human patients. Some of these medications that are approved need to be relabeled quite frequently. They may also need to be pulled from the market if/when they make people sick. In a database article, Dr. Richard Klausner supports/agrees that animal testing is wrong. …show more content…
Decades of HIV and AIDS experiments have failed to produce effective vaccines for humans, even though at least 85 were successful in primate studies. And while “we have cured mice of cancer for decades”—according to former National Cancer Institute Director Dr. Richard Klausner—“it simply didn’t work in humans.””
This is relevant because animals do not need to be tested on for human diseases. To begin with, animals don’t get many of the diseases humans get. Animals can experience pain like humans can. It’s not worth having these innocent creatures suffer while being tested on for medications that don’t necessarily work in humans. Animals being tested for particular diseases have failed to produce immunizations for humans. It is foolish and irresponsible to be cruel to animals during tests that aren’t precise, that fail in humans, and are
