The Harmful Effects Of Experimentation On Animals

Animals have saved many lives throughout history. Why would we want to hurt these innocent creatures that help us everyday and bring joy to our lives. The researchers who subject poor and innocent animals to testing do not give them a choice. The researchers put animals through inhumane ways of product testing, while there are humane ways to put an end to this. Makeup companies keep experimenting on animals because it is a easier; it takes time to switch to more humane methods, plus animal testing is not the best way to find harmful chemicals, even though better ways are available. Makeup companies still use animal experimentation because it is something they have done for years and they feel that switching to more humane ways takes too much time.

Only 10% of the drugs tested on animals work on humans because of the differences between them. The animals in the labs are not treated with respect and the researchers do not give a care in the world about the animals
