Animal testing has been around since ancient times. Ancient greek and Romans tested different medical procedures on animals purely to satisfy curiosity. Because anaesthetics were not discovered until near the end of the nineteenth century, all of these experiments were tested on animals without pain relief. Anyone that has accidently stepped on their dog’s paw, knows that animals definitely feel pain. Back in the 1500’s there was an Anatomy and Physiology professor, named Andreas Vesalius. He…

These dangerous experiments on animals are used in different fields for experiments and it is started with the ancient Greeks. After the ancient Greeks, it continued with the modern science, for example, dogs are being used in the psychological experiments, today animals are abused with different aims such as drug tests and cosmetic tests.

Imagine you were a chimpanzee and you were given HIV by doctors, and then you didn’t help any discovery about how to cure it, and possibly you died. This is why it is not justified to test on animals. It is inhumane and evil. Animal testing hurts animals. It also doesn’t help human research. Some people may say that animal testing is the only option, but there are so many other ways that we can test cures. Animal testing hurts animals. U.S. law allows animals to be hurt and not even given…

Why Animal Testing is Wrong Animal testing is different types of procedures done on animals to find out if a type of medication or cosmetic is safe to use on humans. Over 100 million animals are tested on each year. While there are alternatives to animal testing, it can save a human life, but puts animals through misery and possibly death. Millions of animals including rabbits, cats, mice, and dogs are suffering due to testing for cosmetics and medications. According to the article “About…

For so long, animals have been viewed as resources of humans. Animals have been killed for consumption since the Homo erectus some 1.8 million years ago. Hundreds and thousands of years later, as early as 300 B.C.E, animals were already used for experiments to study bodily functions. Animals were also treated as entertainment and hunting as a sport started as early as 4000 B.C.E. It was in 1828 that the first anti-cruelty law was passed. In the Philippines, it was only in 1998 that Republic Act…

In the United States, we have astronauts walking on the moon and scientists cloning animals. However, there are still people in this country unable to read. This illiteracy poses a huge problem for the individuals as well as for society in general. “Yet, this very basic of skills taught at an early age, proves to be difficult for so many students” (National Assessment of Education Progress, 2015). Blame has been placed in many directions including teachers, parents, students, administrators…

Animals gets abused in the laboratory tests every day, and a lot of them dies because of the test subject. Nowadays, animal testing and experiments have become a common thing in every country. However, if there is nothing to stop the harmful experiments on the animals’, the extinction of many animals will be a sure thing. Scientists in the laboratory cannot do experiments on every animal, because there are some animals does not fit for the tests. So this is the main reason why some kind of…

“Cruelty is NOT Beautiful”. The Federal Drug & Food Administration (FDA) does not require testing products on animals before selling them to consumers and yet companies still continue. Cheaper, more humane alternatives are possible for companies to experiment on while testing their products exist. These types of tests include incubated petri dishes using human cells that can produce more possibilities for something going wrong than what testing on animals may not show. However, these brands…

The biological perspective and the behavioural perspectives are different in the way they view the nature vs nurture debate. The biological approach looks at more of the nature aspects and it assumes that all thoughts, feelings and behaviour all have a biological cause. The biological approach also suggests that behaviour cannot be changed by environment rather it is driven by genetics. Whereas the behavioural perspective suggests all behaviours can be learned because all animals are born as…

Jeremy Bentham once said, “The question is not, can they reason, nor, can they talk. But, can they suffer?” Animal testing can be a major debate in today’s society. While some say animal testing gives helpful info, it leads to suffering, death, cruelty, and abuse to animals, it should be illegal as it's completely unnecessary. Animal testing is abuse, and causes death. To start, PETA says over 100 million animals die each year due to testing. Too many animals are dying because of experiments.…
