Animal Testing Persuasive Essay

Improved Essays
Today's world is becoming blinded daily by the menacing and threatening treatment towards animals. Almost all humans grew up eating meat, wearing wool, and enjoying a day at the zoo. Almost all remember bringing home their furry new family member of the pet store. Humans fail to recognize the impact of these actions that at the time seemed so careless. More than one hundred million animals each year are burned, poisoned, or mistreated in experimental labs. According to PETA, “the FDA reported that 92 out of every 100 drugs that successfully pass animal trials and go into human clinical testing fail during the human clinical trial phase” (1). Still today, humans handle these animals as if they are resources and material for our ability to survive.

    Animal Research is, has always been, and will most likely continue to be a delicate subject. The use of animals in research ranges from cosmetics to medical and wherever there are animals being tests there are groups of people arguing the morality and ethics of the testing being done. Excluding cosmetics and the like for now (that’s a different argument), the use of animal research in neuroscience is absolutely necessary and though it is a sensitive issue, there are ways to make it more ethically acceptable and to protect the animals themselves from blatant cruelty. Today, animal research is more humane than it has ever been.…
