767,622 different types of animals were used in 2015, and even more in 2016. AAVS reported their annual statistics showing over the years how many animals have been used, and how much they have to suffer due to scientists using them. Animals shouldn’t be put through this kind of conditions, so they shouldn’t be used for scientific testing, because it’s inhumane, it leads to nowhere, and it’s not even accurate. First of all, animals go through very harsh testing, and barely survive. They get inflicted with burns, decapitated, and sometimes even get deprived of food and water for many days.…
According to Animal Testing is Bad Science, “Human clinical and epidemiological studies, human tissue- and cell-based research methods, cadavers, sophisticated high-fidelity human patient simulators and computational models are more reliable, more precise, less expensive, and more humane than animal experiments.” This means that scientists have many other alternative testing methods to get the information they need without the use of animals. This just proves that using animals is not only unnecessary, but just plain…
Their opposing arguments side may sound very convincing do to the fact that most people like animals and the fact that they're being tested on is very sad. The key reason to why we use animals though is because…
Just think for a second, if we don’t test on animals what are we going to test on? Of course, you might say that there are alternatives such as cell cultures in a petri dish or computer models that can recreate the function of several organs, but they cannot provide the answers that animal research can. So what will it come to? Testing on humans? In a world where animal testing would have not existed, that same drug that would have killed a rat might actually kill a person.…
Imagine a world without vaccines. What starts as a small cough can grow into something much worse, and without the proper medicine to treat our infections and illnesses, we can land ourselves in an early grave. Because of the discoveries made by scientists with the help of animal testing, we’ve gained access to many different kinds of medicine and antibiotics. Animal testing has been used for years to improve our lives, but many people believe it is cruel and inhumane. These people are commonly known as animal rights activists, but they’ve also been called antivivisectionists.…
Why Products Shouldn’t Be Tested On Animals Imagine being locked up in a cold cage with nothing you can say or do to get out, to be locked up your entire life like a prisoner when you have done nothing wrong. This is how millions of animals are feeling right now, not knowing that they will go through a painful procedure that could harm or even kill them. This is animal abuse. 67 percent of people believe that it is wrong for animals to be tested on, and I am one of them.…
This has been going on since around 500 B.C. "Research on living animals has been practiced since at least 500 BC.", Procon.org. "The term "animal testing" refers to procedures performed on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology and diseases,", Humane Society International. Both quotes show what animal testing is and how long it has been around. What are some cons to animal…
Animals have been used for testing since the beginning of time so scientists can find information about us and test medicines to see if they will be safe on us. In times during BC where physician Herophilus and Erasistratus discovered information about our sensory and motor nerves and tendons (Monamy 8). In the early years of AD, Greek physician, Galen of Pergamum, made his own discoveries about our anatomy of the brain by using animals, but eventually, Galen’s discoveries soon faded, but were brought back during the Dark Ages where religion took a huge part of testing whether or not animals should still be tested for experiments (Monamy 8). Christians, for example, think that animals should be respected in a way since they were “God’s creation”…
The use of animals for medical experiment goes back thousands of years. Many researchers and scientist believes that animal testing is one of the most effective way for keeping humans…
Animal Testing Animal testing has contributed to many lifesaving cures and treatments. It helps test products that can be hazardous to human skin, hair, or immune system. Animal testing can also be really cruel and inhumane. Some animals testing for beauty products involve rabbits being incapacitated in stocks with their eyelids help open by clips, sometimes for multiple days, so they cannot blink away the products being tested. Animal cruelty is a very touchy subject.…
Ever since peta was founded in 1980, and even before then, there has always been a backing of going cruelty-free and animal rights in general. It was and still is a fight for a good cause across the globe. Although, testing on animals has been around for a while doesn’t mean we couldn’t use a change for the better. Humans must strive forward as a society to make a conscious effort to go cruelty free. What is humanity if we don’t strive to grow and progress?…
Imagine something terrible has happened to your pet or an animal that you love. At the University of Cornell they studied on dogs that come from the normal household and run for the diseases that they may have. They tested on many dogs and found that three had kidney disease. They tested on them under the same drugs and one of them died due to the medical dication that it was taking. Testing products and drugs is a cruel act acted upon many animals due to the outcomes and humane levels attached to it.…
Animals squeal with their hearts beating fast. They’re held down by strong arms as a needle is injected into them. The next breath they take might be their last. The injection messes with their brain. Their body becomes mutated.…
Imagine being in a hospital, hearing various animals shriek and cry as people inject you with dangerous substances. This is what happens everyday to animals being tested for cosmetics. Now imagine how to stop it. Animal testing is a cruel process in the makeup industry that should be stopped. With inaccurate test results and lives being at stake, the use of testing on innocent animals is a major problem.…
Many of medicines have been made possible through animal testing. Without animal testing, some of medicines that we know will not exist. Therefore, people will not have treatments to cure the disease and they would be dead and suffer from more than 200 diseases including diabetes and anthrax. As we have a treatments, some of diseases that humans used to suffer have been eliminated from most of the countries. Moreover, animals suffer from almost all of the disease that humans do.…
