treatments for them, unfortunately, is to test them on animals. 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
Animal testing is the testing or experimentation of products, chemicals, and more on animals. Sometimes animals are used to test beauty products on, as well as new medicines and scientific researches. The animals most commonly used are mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even cats. However, these are not the only animals used in these acts of cruelty, others such as fish, farm animals, dogs, birds, and in some cases monkeys or chimpanzees. Animal testing is cruel and immoral, not to mention
constantly to benefit us, but cause their lives to become worse? Locked in tiny cages these animals are denied the ability to roam free in an effort to solve health issues of the human race. Every year over 100 million of the animals experimented on die in the laboratories due to this experimentation that supposedly helps to find cures for humans. These cures scientists are finding aren’t even aimed to help animals, and they live horrible lives as a result of these confining living spaces in addition
located that are designated for experimenting on animals for scientific benefit. There are a variety of mixed feelings on the matter. Some think its cruel and unjust, while others believe its mandatory to be able to obtain useful data. Animal experimentation needs to be stopped because it is harmful to animals and it is non-beneficial to the health of humans. Animal testing and experiments have proven to be very harmful to the health of animals and cause excruciating amounts of pain to be afflicted
Animal testing, or animal research, is the use of animals in scientific tests to determine the safety of substances for humans. It is estimated that about 100,000- 200,000 animals are mutilated and/ or slaughtered for cosmetic, drug, food, and chemical testing. “Over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year.” Although this fact is dispiriting when you really think about it, there is a plethora of animal testing benefits. For instance, without animal research
“No matter whether it’s someone from the political left or right, we just need a voice to stand up and defend animal rights” a quote from Brigitte Bardot on animal experimentation. Animal experimentation has been going on for over 300 years and this is just what has been recorded in records. There are many types of test performed on animals:Draize Test: A laboratory test in which a cosmetic or drug is dropped into a rabbit 's eyes, which are held open with clips, to determine the level of irritation
protection under the law. This is the life of most animals in animal testing. Animal testing is the use of live animals, excluding humans, in experiments for scientific research. These experiments generally cause the animals pain, distress, harm, and suffering. Furthermore, scientists usually kill the animals after the experiment. Examples of animal testing include forcing dangerous substances into animals’ bodies, exposing animals to radiation, and putting animals in stressful or frightening situations (Cruelty
benefit from revolutionary advances in the medical field. Most of these medical contributions are made possible by the use of animal testing. Whether you’ve taken an antibiotic or a had a vaccine, animal testing has always been there to contribute to these revolutionary discoveries. From as early as the second century, scientists have performed dissections and tests on animals in hopes of answering questions relating to human anatomy and pathology. Humans continue to improve this knowledge to further
Imagine an enraged animal rights activist charging toward a scientist in a white lab coat, desperate to free the little mice that are being used as test subjects. Although comical, this scene may be quite accurate when describing the passion that animal lovers have when it comes to the touchy subject of animal testing. For centuries, animal testing has been used in the medical research field, however many are now beginning to question whether it is ethical. Millions of animals are killed per year
cosmetics testing” (“Experiments on Animals”). Scientists and biologists depend on animal testing for the sake of discovering new cures and treatments. What they uncover is transferred and used for treatments to save humans and animals, but the process along the way is grueling for the animals that are poked and prodded. “US Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported in 2016 that 71,370 animals suffered pain during experiments while being given no anesthesia for relief” (“Animal Testing”). Animals should
