Animals have been used in laboratories across the globe for centuries. Whether it has been to test new drugs, plants, and multiple synthetic products, animals have always been the go-to ‘Guineapigs’ for testing new products and medications. However it was only recently that the pain and suffering that the animals in these laboratories face was made common knowledge. Thousands upon thousands of animals around the world are forced to inhale deadly toxins, swallow pills, have toxic liquids inserted into their eyes, have their organs genetically mutated in order to resemble human organs and so much more inhumane experiments for the purpose of ‘medical advancements’. However this depiction of animal testing can vary between the two ‘sides’ of animal

Within the American Anti-Vivisection Society’s website it was continuously brought up that animals will not mimic the same results as those tested on humans because animals are different to humans in almost every way and thus the results found are, usually, neither appropriate nor applicable to humans. This is proven within the second to last paragraph on the page, where it states that there are natural differences within the physiology, metabolism and anatomy of humans and animals which leads to very different reactions to various stimuli and even though the animal subjects may have mutated genes most of their body systems are still very different to ours, thus them having a very different result to tests than us. Another point outlined in the text is that animals in labs would have abnormal results for physiological and psychological tests as they are kept in sterile and stressful environments which leads them to act differently to what they would in their usual environment. “Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals and the answer is: 'Because animals are like us.' Ask the experimenters why it is …show more content…
This is especially seen in figure 1 where 80% of the people surveyed said that they were uncomfortable with using animal tested products. In figures 2 and 3 though you can see that more people are willing to use medications that have been tested on animals than make-up that has been tested on animals. This factor is made even clearer in figure 4 where 33% of the people surveyed admit that they have a separate opinion on using cosmetic and medical animal tested
