There are more than 100 million animals being poisoned, burned, crippled, and abused in many other ways in the U.S every year. All these animals being tested and injured are being tested with products with chemicals in them that are extremely dangerous. Animal testing now is increasing more and more every year which ends in more animals being abused or dying from these chemicals. Even though these researchers inflict so much harm to these animals there is no law that makes it illegal for them to do this. The fact that animal testing is not illegal is just plain shocking since animals abuse is illegal but these “test” are not. Those 100 million and more animals being tested on should be the same as the 7.9 million animal abuse cases that are

Documents have stated that humans started testing on animals during early Greek to understand anatomy, pathology, physiology, and pharmacology reasons. In the twelfth century, Ibn Zuhr, an Arab physician introduced the idea of testing animals as an experimental method for testing surgical procedures before they applied it to a human. Laws have been passed in many countries to make the testing on animals for biomedical research more “humane”. Since the seventeenth century there have been many debates on the ethics. During the mid to late nineteenth century there was a dramatic increase in animal testing and the tests itself. This led to many agencies encouraging the stop of animal testing in many companies. WIth all the publicite these abused animals were getting were making a frenzy throughout Britain in 1920. Finally in 1998, there was a ban on animal …show more content…
These animals are subjected to force feeding, forced inhabitation, deprived of food and water, have prolonged periods of time of physical restraint, inflicted with burns and other wounds to study the healing process, inflicted with pain to study the effects and remedies, and “killing carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck breaking, decapitation, and much more, (Humane Society “All About Animal Testing”,hsi.org). These shows how cruel these researchers are to these innocent animals who cannot fight back for themselves. There is a Draize Eye Test that they use on rabbits which involve their eyes opened by clips and they could be like this for days so they cannot blink the product away. Of course, animal testing has been contributed to many life saving treatments. According to the California Biomedical Research Association almost every medical breakthrough from the past 100 years has been a result of animal testing. Insulin for diabetes was found from experiments where dogs had their pancreases removed. The polio vaccine, tested on animals, reduced the global occurrence of the disease from 350,000 cases in 1988 to 223 in 2012, (World Health Organization, “Poliomyelitis”,who.int). These have been benefits of animal testing since they get to find a cure or vaccine to help decrease a disease. It may be true that animal testing has helped us a lot, the fact that animals
