Animals are delicate creatures that want to live as they wish. History has shown that testing on humans is very controversial and not socially accepted in most places. Humans should have this viewpoint on animal testing too. Animal testing is a very debatable issue. For years’ animals have been mistreated by having inhumane people test different products or medicines on them. As humans, we should not use animals for testing for our own benefit because we can find possible alternatives, the Animal Welfare Act has not succeeded in preventing horrific cases of animal abuse during these experiments, and it is cruel and inhumane.

Which people who studied it said they believe that it is more accurate than using an animal. Rachel Hajar states in her article “Alternative to Animal Testing,” “A full scale vascular model made completely of glass, to enable fluid dynamics experimentation to study blood flow without using animal models, named ‘Mrs. Einstein’, has all the major arteries in the body represented in it, and is a beautiful piece of completely functional art. With all the major arteries of the body represented in it, this model provides research teams the best possible venue for device testing. All the four chambers of the heart are placed along with the coronary arteries and vines to allow for stent and defibrillator lead placement” (39). This glass model allows scientists to examine what they need to know instead of experimenting on animals. If we were to keep progressing in finding advanced ways on testing medicine and products, we would be able to stop animal testing all together. Jayshree Vencatesan states in her article “Alternatives to the use of animals in research, testing and education,” “The concept, developed by Russell and Burch advocates that, animal testing protocols conform to the three Rs. Replacement of animal testing by alternative methods is the most radical of the methods proposed, although a differentiation is made between absolute and relative replacement” …show more content…
The act sets a minimum standard of care that must be provided for animals including housing, sanitation, food, water, handling, veterinary care and protection from weather. Joseph Mendelson III states in his article “Should animals have standing? A review of standing under the Animal Welfare Act,” “Thirty years ago, Congress passed the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) to combat the growing problems of pets stolen for use in medical research and abusive animal research practices. The AWA has been amended several times since its passage in 1966 which has resulted in considerable expansion of the statute's original purpose and scope. Currently, the AWA governs not only federal animal research facilities but also numerous activities involving the treatment of animals” (1). The Act can also define and regulate groups of people directly involved with handling animals. The Animal Welfare Act protects animals that are being used for food but not all animals are included in this
