Imagine you are incapacitated on a table and your eyes are forced open as chemicals are poured into them. Your heart pounds, your breathing is rapid, you can 't blink and your eyes tear up, and your eyes turn red, swell, discharge, ulcerate, or hemorrhages, then you are killed.
The Draize eye test, a test where chemicals are poured into a rabbit’s eye to test for irritancy, is cruel and is not a reliable test for humans. A rabbit 's eye has several anatomical differences to a human 's eye so the results would be inaccurate compared to a human 's eye. The widely used Draize test has never been validated against any reported human database. The Draize eye test should be banned since it is extremely painful to the rabbit and is completely useless …show more content…
This method would eliminate the pain the animals feels and actually produce relevant results to a human since it would use our cells. We can grow as many cells as we need to in a petri dish so we can perform repeated trials so that the results will be more accurate without having to harm more animals to repeat trials. The Draize eye test should outlawed since the test is harmful to the animal, has inaccurate results compared to a human, and alternatives to the test …show more content…
This is proof that you can’t assume that drugs that passed animal tests can be used safely in humans. Animal testing should not be used to find medications that are helpful to humans because drugs that are helpful to animals could be harmful to humans and drugs that are helpful to humans could be harmful to animals.
The animal Welfare Act has not succeeded in preventing many cases of animal abuse in research labs. The Humane Society of the United States has undergone a nine month investigation that revealed that the New Iberia Research Center (NIRC) were abusing 100s of chimpanzees. Some of the primates at NIRC were suffering such severe psychological stress that they engaged in self-mutilation. There was a video showing infant chimps being removed from their mothers, going through painful experiments, and being intimidated and shot with a dart
