Guinea Pigs’ Paradise Do you know how much unnecessary risks that animals have been undertaken for us? Probably not. Animal testing can be counted as one of the most inhumane behaviors in the world. According to the US statistic, millions of animals are killed due to cosmetic testing each year. While some of the experiments conducted on animals today are required by law, in areas such like vaccine, drugs and food developments, but most of them aren’t. In fact, a number of countries have banned the testing of certain types of consumer goods on animals, such as the cosmetics-testing even bans in the world’s largest cosmetic market, Europe. Israel and India have also already banned animal testing for cosmetics, and the sales and imports of newly animal-tested beauty products.
Inhumane animal testing has always been inaccurate, leaving people with images of imprecise and problematic practices. To be considered a moral and reliable brand, hundreds of major cosmetic companies, including Aveda, the Body Shop, and NYX have chosen to use humane non-animal testing methods. But there are still hundreds of companies that choose to be a doubtable brand, and continue the use of inhumanity methods. From outer prospection, animal testing seems like a moral way to protect human away from danger, but companies just use cosmetic testing as a defense to avoid lawsuits in case anything unfavorable claims against them happens which is really selfish and unfair to the animals. No one knows what exactly happens in the laboratory - the ‘paradise’ for those animals, rabbits, rats, monkeys or birds. …show more content…
Sweet small comfortable room inside the metal fence and concomitant with chemical smells, accompanied by delicious food and water inside the syringe, dressing up colorfully, good health care by providing medicine and vaccine, living with happiness and joyfulness. Some people would argue that we have made sufficient progress with animal testing. Even opposing forces would probably argue that animal testing is essential, bringing benefits to humanity. Scholar Shauny Sun stated in his article, The Truth behind Animal Testing, that “Almost every medicine, vaccine or cosmetic that is known today is associated with animal testing” (Sun). While it is true that animal testing has done some ‘glorious achievements’ of finding cures to some of today’s diseases, but it does not mean it is the only method to do it. Beginning early on humans evolution, by using tools, making fire, farming, and speaking, gradually people started to develop a mindset of superiority which is not beneficial to the overall developments of mankind. Humans are not only a more efficient and logical living creature, but should also be more humane. We all know what does it mean by humanity, but how many people are actually doing it? The things that we do are often different from what we say. The true humanity voice should reiterate the ideas that animals are independent living species that they do not belong to us. Humans do not have the right to kidnapping those life-form of their values by to lower animals and treat them as a trash, step and prick on it randomly, then throw it away as expired food. Human Guinea Pigs - a suitable proposal, a more reliable and ethical choice would be hearing it straight from humans conscience. In order to fully understand the horrors of animal testing, we suggest humans undergo the tests by themselves. Maybe a few days or even a week in a small cage acting as a test subject, experience the burn and hurt of chemicals on their own skin and in their eyes, or even go through painful surgery of cutting of the inflammation skin. Hopefully these will bring the human race to realize the severity to the inhumanity of animal testing. In fact, humans should be better test subjects, especially using those murderers, or those who have mistreated animals. Since most of them would be sentenced for years or even the rest of their life, upon their agreements, they can provide an alternative to perform some of the needed tests. We should give them a chance to positively contribute to society. And also, human can verbally express pain and the
