Inaccurate Animal Testing

According to peta.org, in the United States alone, over one hundred million vulnerable animals are inhumanely killed each year during unnecessary scientific experimentations. Testing on innocent and defenseless animals is a revolting act that needs to be terminated. Pain and suffering are the only sensations many of these animals experience during the last moments of their diminutive lives (Garner). Scientists have claimed that any pain that animals feel during experiments are “necessary” for medical advancements, however, inflicting pain on any living organism is unjustifieable (Garner).

Important to realize, is that animal testing is an unreliable and wasteful source of research (Animal Aid). In the past, hundreds of medications have had …show more content…
Heart attacks, organ failure, and lethal dysrhythmias are only a few of the dreadful reactions humans have suffered through on medication as a result of the inaccuracy of animal testing (Greek). Using animals for experiments is incredibly inaccurate due to the vast differences between animal and human biological makeup (Animal Aid). As a result, during past experiments, medications have had “totally the opposite effect” on animals than they did on humans (Animal Aid). Consequently, after already turning innocent animals into unhealthy victims while producing these products, humans themselves have also become oblivious victims to this research technique as they consume these unreliable items. Scientists spend many stressful hours conducting research through this unstable technique, while their outcomes are rarely advancements in health care. Testing on animals has given multiple researchers’ false results when …show more content…
Anaesthetics are not used frequently because of their variety of effects on the test subject (Animal Aid). For example, anaesthetics can cause the data to become less relatable to human bodily reactions (Animal Aid). Consequently, animals become extremely vulnerable as they are forced to participate in unpredictable and abusive experiments without any pain relief. These processes appear to be identical to torture by inflicting pain on the test subjects without aiding them in any way. Dogs are most commonly used without anaesthetics- animals that many of Americans adore and love as one of their own (Animal Aid). Forcing dogs to undergo dangerous experiments vastly diminishes their chances of becoming a part of a family due to health issues they face as a result of this research. Health issues are the main outcome for many of these animals, impacting them for the rest of their lives. If researchers cared for these animals humanely and reduced their pain, resulting health issues probably would not be as abundant (Garner). Researchers do not treat their test subjects as living and conscious animal, but instead as objects. During past experiments, animals eyelid’s have been held open with clips while substances are forced into their eyes (Haugen). As a result, these animals experienced incredibly painful reactions, including deterioration of their eyes and blindness (Haugen). Researchers
