Approximately 70 million dogs and 74.1 cats million are assaulted per minute; this is an average 10 million a year (The Humane Society of the United States). What is animal cruelty? Cruelty to animals, called animal abuse or animal neglect, and also animal testing is both the unintentional and the intentional infliction of suffering or harm upon any animal by humans, regardless of whether the act is against the law. Why is this so important? It is important because people who abuse animals often move on to abusing people and because animals are creatures who feel pain.…
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.…
Imagine a world without testing on animals. Thousands maybe even millions of animals die for the simple need of cosmetics. Cosmetic testing on animals is wrong because animals waste their lives away in cells of torture just for personal entertain. It's wrong because poor animals are being wrongly treated and abused. Next is how they don’t get adequate nutrients and they die inches away from food.…
Also, plenty of these companies that test on animals claim to do it because there are requirement laws for it in other countries that they sell to (“About Cosmetic Testing”); if this is the case then these companies shouldn 't sell to those countries till new laws are passed. So on, there is no necessity to use animals for cosmetics testing, making it unethical and cruel to the animals. There should be more laws on testing on animals in the basis of cosmetics, but separate from…
Testing cosmetics on animals is a very controversial issue that has grown over the past years. I believe that cosmetic animal testing is wrong and should be banned because it is cruel, inaccurate, not very reliable, and has been proven to be unnecessary. Approximately 200,000 animals will suffer and die every year for cosmetics around the world. We as a whole have all decided that this is not necessary which is why we stopped making testing on animal cosmetics something that had to be done. Companies still continue to do it.…
Animals all around the world are used for testing and research. People always wonder why people use animals. They ask why would scientist put these innocent creatures through something horrible. It has been proven that scientist use about 100 million animals for testing and research each year. From personal research, I have seen many inhumane things happen to these creatures that should not happen.…
Also, an animal will never be a more reliable source than humans because each person reacts differently to cosmetics, making animal testing wrong by moral standards. Knowing this, testing cosmetics on animals is a very selfish thing for humanity to do and just proves that testing on…
Animal testing is among one of the most controversial issues worldwide. Animal testing can lead to many great discoveries in our constant evolving world, but can also endanger the lives of innocent creatures. Through many arguments, animal testing puts the life of animals at risk in order to try to make advancements in the medical, cosmetic, and scientific fields. The first animal testing began in the 17th century on numerous animals to demonstrate blood circulation. Animal testing expanded quickly and in 1876 parliament passed the Cruelty to Animal Acts in Europe.…
ANIMAL TESTING Animal rights are defined as the rights to animals so they can to live freely, with no hunting, without being harmed, free from medical research, cosmetics, and experimental testing. No animal should be held captive to be harmed or tested upon. In order to save human lives, as in animals are hurt in medical testing. According to the Humane Society of the United States, 79.7 million people have pets in their homes just in the United States (The Humane Society of the United States). Everyone should have a companion animal, but scientists should not do any form of testing so these companion creatures can be what they were meant u to be; a member of a family and not a member of a research lab and do not let these animals soon become like the dinosaurs.…
Every day animals are abused and neglected in labs that are used to test some of the products we use every day. These animals are harmed for doing nothing the animals in these labs need to be saved from the abuse and the neglect that they go through. Many scientists have found ways to eliminate the use of animals during testing. You may wonder why animals are used in testing if it is more costly and there are alternative methods that can be used. The answer to this question is that people believe that it is not possible to completely eliminate the use of animals in cosmetic testing.…
In reality, the world really does not need another eyeliner, hand soap, food ingredient, drugs, or pesticide so insanely that it should come at the expense of animal lives. If one thinks about it, there are many inventors out in the world that always come up with new ways to upgrade technology and many more things. Trying to make a new invention that will bring an end to animal testing would not hurt a little. (Timaru…
Plus, corneal transplants and hip replacement surgeries give new hope to the elderly, or anyone who needs them. In conclusion, animal testing should be continued. The practice has brought a medical revolution upon the world, and even aids the cosmetic industry (if used properly). Medications and cosmetics may not have be as safe as they are today, if it weren't for the fuzzy critters. Animal testing has brought advancements to human health and should be continued, but in…
Imagine your family pet being enclosed in a small, cold, and dirty cage for days, weeks, or even months on end, only being taken out to be subjected to painful experiments without any anesthetic, as well as the possibility of developing life threatening diseases and injuries. Too many animals experience this on a regular basis around the globe - in fact, nearly 25 million animals will be used as test subjects annually. Animal testing is a horrible occurrence, one that brings suffering to even the smallest of creatures. Many people do not know the extremes of the effects of this practice, which are unnecessarily painful to animals, or that alternatives do exist, and that the results are not always accurate and time/cost effective. Experiments…
It is unacceptable behaviour from people in our modern world today. Even though some animals are needed for medical research for the tests that give us reliable results, cosmetic research is not necessary. By not in this day and age we should know what chemicals people can work with and what chemicals we cannot. We have enough cosmetic products and brands, it is not necessary for cosmetic researchers to go on and test on animals. Animals should have similar rights as people, and we need to learn to share our planet with them.…
Although animal experimentation has provided many benefits, there are alternatives to test toxic substances that may eliminate the cruel use of animals in research. The United States, along with many other countries, have turned to the use of animals in research labs to test human products for hazardous substances. According to the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, the United States uses about 12 million animals every year making it the biggest conductor of animal experimentation in the world. Scientists and many companies believe that testing their products on animals save humans from being harmed if the product is toxic. However, no matter what the benefits of animal experimentation are, the tests conducted on the animals are cruel.…
