Cruelty Of Animal Testing

For as long as people can remember there has been animal testing. Labs will use ranging from rabbits to mice in their experiments in medicine and even testing beauty products. In order to be able to able to test certain diseases that these animals do not naturally form like humans, they will be injected into them to mimic the disease. This treatment to animals has been used for years and put them through unnecessary pain. There should get rid of animal testing because it can be unreliable, it’s harmful to the animals used in testing, and there are alternatives to it.
“95% of drugs fail in human trials despite promising results in animal tests.” Thew stated on her website. Animals and humans are similar, yet completely dissimilar. It is not hard to see how giving a rat cancer then curing it of the disease might not work on a human being. A study recently found that there is only forty-three percent of accuracy of there being safety in a drug for humans that have been tested on mice and rats. Several dangerous side effects have been told to have only nineteen percent of them show up in animal testing. There is barely any real insight into seeing if a drug would work for a human being when using it on an animal with how many little similarities there can be.

Taking the Polio vaccine, for example, had been tested on animals and that got rid of the disease all together once given to humans after testing. Although it has been helpful with some diseases like finding the hepatitis B vaccine with the use of testing on chimpanzees and taking pancreases out of dogs to discover the use of insulin does not mean animal testing should still be relied on. There is still the fact that ninety-five percent of the drugs that have been tested on animals failed with humans. That five percent of the drugs that actually worked is a very small margin. The chance for failure is much too high with animal testing than it is to actually
