The practice of animal testing is a very debatable topic. “Each year, more than 100 million animals, including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds are killed in U.S. laboratories” (Experiments). “The term “animal testing” refers to procedures performed on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology and diseases assessing the effectiveness of new medicinal products, and testing the human health and/or environmental safety of consumer and industry products such as cosmetics, household cleaners, food additives, pharmaceuticals and industrial/agro-chemicals” (About). There is numerous pros and cons for using animals in experiments for humans for our everyday needs.
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. Be that as it may, others view these tests as immoral and should be illegal universally. So much so that there are animal activists who protest against the use of animal testing for cosmetics.
Animal testing is cruel and inhumane, it should not be acceptable to use animals in scientific research. Vivisection is another term for an animal experimentation including; dissection, administering drugs, brain damaging, and other painful and invasive experiences to animals. According to Humane Society International, animals used in experiments are subjected to force feeding, forced inhalation, food and water deprivation("Testing - American Anti-Vivisection Society.") Animals are very different from human-being therefore it can make a poor scientific results. They should not have to suffocate and die to be use in research and cosmetics testing because there are alternative choices and different techniques that could lead to the
Cosmetic testing on animals is unnecessary when it comes to consumer wants. Defenseless animals should not have to suffer through useless experimentations of cosmetics. Millions of animals have painful deaths every year, because people are allowing this to happen. Since these experiments are an ancient way of testing, the animals’ deaths are in vain. They’re not the most accurate results, and there are other ways to avoid this without the cost of beauty.
Animal testing has been used by scientists to test drugs and makeup products for many years. They have been kept in labs, poked, prodded at, observed, forced to inhale, eat, and wear substances that have killed them. Millions of animals have died each year because of this testing, and it needs to be stopped. Animal testing should not be continued because it is ineffective, it wastes lives, and is inhumane.
There’s an element of second-hand embarrassment felt while walking to a job provided by the cosmetics empire and you notice the streets filled with people herding together like the atrocities they are protesting for: animals. These protesters, wearing makeup on their own, in order to not be mistaken for the ugly testing animal themselves, have allowed for the empire to grow into the untouchable powerhouse it is today, but it is suddenly not ok to get rid of these monsters whose only purpose is to take up space.
“Hey mom can you make some chicken tonight? No, son remember our government enacted the new animal bill of rights.¨ this is a conversation that one would not want to partake in because of how absurd soundsWell we are not far from a day where one would be participating in such a conversation due to the fact that people are trying to approve an Animal Bill of Rights. The Animal Bill of Rights would cause a lot of controversy and problems in the future. Animals do not deserve an Animal Bill of Rights due to the fact that: animals are a large source of our food, animals are needed to apply research based tests on, and lastly the Animal Bill of Rights should not dictate how we treat the pets that we own
It is true that cosmetics are routinely tested on animals before they are cleared for human use. Most of people don’t know the reality of animal testing, they just want to know the effectiveness of the products. Animal testing in cosmetics and other products affects our society, we must understand and try to solve this problem.
In the United States alone, more than one million animals die every year from chemical, drug, or cosmetic testing. Is our vanity really worth the inhumane suffering of millions of animals around world? Just like my photo of monkeys being restrained and forced to participate in unjust testing? Animal testing in cosmetics should be discontinued because animals ' lives are being wasted, animals will not always have the same reactions as humans, and there are so many other alternatives that are more beneficial than testing on animals. However, there is an abundance of animal testing happening today that only leads to the high demand of animal lives.
Animal testing has been a subject of controversy for many years and there have been some great discoveries because of it, however, has this practice been done ethically? For a cosmetic company to inject rabbit’s eyes of chemicals, thus causing it pain, is unethical and immoral. This practice negates the theory of Kant’s Practical Imperative, where animals are used for experiments, not only for life and death experiments, but for experiments that indicates whether a product has irritating side effects for humans, for example (Thiroux & Krasemann, 2015). The immorality of this practice is where scientists are subjecting pain and sometimes torture to animals for results to tests. It is immoral, as Kant suggests, to subject sentient beings to pain
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.
Animal Testing has many harmful effects. Animal Testing has been used for over 100 years for many different reasons and purposes. Cosmetic Animal testing (which is the most common use of Animal Testing) has been banned in the European Union, India, Israel, and Norway. Here are a few ideas why we should not do it, Animals are very different from human beings and therefore make poor test subjects. According to the New England Anti-Vivisection Society the anatomic, metabolic, and cellular differences between animals and people make animals poor models for human beings. This would be fair to say that we have spent millions of dollars on testing animals, Okay I’m going to use a scenario let’s say rats alone we spend
Millions of animals are abused and left to die a long exhausting death each year. Many people don’t know that the cosmetic products they own are tested to see if the products are safe for humans. In the process of the testing animals are tested using harmful chemicals that often burn the animal’s skins and the ruthless workers leaving them to die a long painful death. Animal testing is inhumane and should be banned.
I want you to know that the public are being lied to about the effects of testing products on animals. I think you need to know that everyday products are being used to torture innocent animals. I know that if the nation had all of the information they would join my fight against the horror that is animal testing! Sign up to the ‘Voice for Animals’ protest march today!
Imagine you are smelling the flowers and are enjoying life. But, when you turn around there are people with a net ready to snatch you up. You spend the rest of your life crying out in pain, loneliness, and horror. When you go in for a test again, you are in pain, but then there is a pang of pain greater than the others. Soon the numbness kicks in and you are floating. Everything goes black. You are just another casualty. Animal testing has harmed many animals who don’t have a choice in whether or not they are hurt. For example, it is basically animal abuse and their deaths are awful. Also, how to change it simple and more accurate. Sure, many people believe that animal testing has helped many people and has had many breakthroughs. But, when
