Animal Testing
Some animals get to live free in the wild, some get to be with a caring family, and some have to stay in a lab with greedy scientists. Many people believe that animal testing is the right thing, and it helps humans, but many people also believe that it is cruel and not right. These people think it is wrong because the animals are treated cruel and the results of these tests are not accurate either. This cause serious problems later on when people use these products because the people who sell them do not fully understand what they can do to the HUMAN body. Therefore, animals should not be used in testing because it is cruel and the results are not relative to humans.
Animal Testing is cruel and not fair to helpless animals. …show more content…
Animal and human DNA is not similar, an animal can react to a substance differently than a human will. Scientists must use humans if we want the correct results. This has caused many dilemmas throughout history, such as a study conducted in 1963. In the previous decades, millions of people had died of lung cancer, so scientist tested the theory of cigarette smoke causing it, the animals that were tested showed no signs of cancer so scientist believed that cigarettes do not cause cancer delaying a health warning for many decades causing millions more to die(O’Neill). This is the reason why humans should not do this to animals because the results will not mean a thing. If we want to know about how something will affect the human body, then we should use the human body. In the recent testing of a new drug a doctor stated,”Many mistakes have been made like that have been made. In London a new drug for arthritis was tested on animals. The animals acted fine, but left many human users screaming in agony minutes after using the drug”(Haugen). This is another reason not to trust animals, the results lead the scientist to believe this drug was safe, but it was not it was the complete opposite. Many drugs tested on animals are not accurate. A pharmaceutical study proves that 25 drugs found useful in treating strokes in animals over the past 10 years, not one had proved effective in clinical practice(Carrol). The reason all of those drugs failed is because testing on animals is inaccurate. If you want to use a drug on a human then you should use human DNA not the DNA of something completely different. Humans have not benefited enough from testing in animals and the results are often timed flawed. It is not right to subject these animals to painful tests if the results are not applicable to
