Amber Hufford Mr. Limone Composition 12/11/15 Albert Einstein once said: “Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Through this statement, Einstein shows how important all living creatures are. Human or not they deserve to have a life they enjoy. Testing on animals takes their joy away.…
Hayleigh Hamrick-Sharp Mrs. Haver English 12 October 27, 2017 Should Animal Testing Continue or End: Most people do not know what goes on behind the scenes of the beauty industry. How do people think they determine whether a product is safe for a human or not? Animal testing is the most used method of testing products. There are many things people don't know about the method and there are many people against it.…

Picture this, you’ve just came home from the mall and you’re going to try on that brand new moisturizer, cosmetic or vitamin supplement. Then suddenly, your skin begins to flare up with inflammation, your tongue itches or you begin to have strange pains. Yet, according to the bottle, these are just minor side effects. Imagine what bigger side effects people had to face during human trials to perfect that product. Or worst, what animal had to suffer the consequences in order to ensure the safety of that human product.…
Animal testing is the human act of using lively, conscious animals to test products, not caring what the aftermath may be. According to peta.org, more than 100 million animals are slaughtered in U.S. laboratories. Those that have the heart to inflict this type of brutality do this immobilizing them in restraint devices for hours, drilling holes into their skulls having their spinal cords crushed. (peta.org). Other than the physical atrocities that humans are forcing vulnerable animals into, they are also isolated from their own kind, confined to barren cages, and therefore, become severely traumatized.…
considering they were “God’s creation” as some will say (Monamy 10). On the contrary, British Lord Chancellor Francis Bacon thought that animal testing is an excellent way to learn more about our bodies and how it works (Monamy 10). However, this controversy made animal testing rise. An additional amount of scientists started using different types of animals such as monkeys, rats, birds, dogs, cats, and the list goes on and on. With animal testing in use, scientist found out how the digestive, respiratory, nervous, muscular, etc.…
Many animals die each year from animal testing. I don’t approve of companies testing on animals. I don’t approve of it because they could end up killing the animals they’re testing on. I think people should use other things to test on other than animals or people. Most fumes are toxic to the animals they test on.…
As of “right now, millions of mice, rats, rabbits, primates [monkeys], cats, dogs, and other animals are locked inside barren cages in laboratories across the country.” They suffer in agony, are being infused with misery, and long to be uncaged. Instead, they wait with their anxiety filled thoughts of what expect in the operating room (“Animal’s Used”). Animal experimentation (or vivisection) is any “scientific experiment or test in which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm” (“What is”). According to Christopher Lawrence, animal dissection has been first traced back to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (c.460–375 BC), but Lawrence also states that the greatest…
Imagine your family pet being enclosed in a small, cold, and dirty cage for days, weeks, or even months on end, only being taken out to be subjected to painful experiments without any anesthetic, as well as the possibility of developing life threatening diseases and injuries. Too many animals experience this on a regular basis around the globe - in fact, nearly 25 million animals will be used as test subjects annually. Animal testing is a horrible occurrence, one that brings suffering to even the smallest of creatures. Many people do not know the extremes of the effects of this practice, which are unnecessarily painful to animals, or that alternatives do exist, and that the results are not always accurate and time/cost effective. Experiments…
Animal testing is a topic that has been debated for many years. Currently, animal testing is legal in the United States, however, many believe that this should be changed and animal testing should become illegal. Animals should not be used for scientific or commercial testing because it is cruel and inhumane, tests that pass can be unsafe for humans, there are more accurate alternative testing methods, and it is more expensive than other forms of testing. One reason why animals should not be used for scientific or commercial testing is it is cruel and inhumane. While some believe that animals do not have rights and therefore are acceptable to conduct experiments on, the pain and suffering animals face during these tests is actually…
