Imagine a human-being living in a cramped and dirty cell, filled to the brim with other people where there is barely enough room to be able to move. The only sound that this person hears is the scraping of metal and the screams of agony coming from outside the cell. This person awaits their fate of being the next to be taken out of their cell and be strapped down to a table to be infused with various chemicals or to be cut open while still conscious. This is not a scene from a horror movie, but the actual life of ill-fated animals that were captured or bred for the use of animal testing. These animals are poke, prodded, and tortured for the sake of science to better improve man kind, but is science actually worth the never-ending suffering

Worldwide, the government needs to shut down animal testing and have it be entirely outlawed due to the fact that experimentation on a living innocent creature is not just inhumane, but also …show more content…
The use of animals for experimentation almost always fails when it comes down to the clinical trial because of humans and animals having different chromosomal and metabolic makeups. Dr. Corina Gericke stated in her research that, “One study conducted by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer came to the conclusion that one would be better off tossing a coin than relying on animal experiments to answer the question of carcinogenic substances” (1). Hence why spend millions of tax payers’ money to fund such unethical experiments that barely have any affect for science and human causes? Professionals estimate that more than ninety percent of the tests that are demonstrated to be safe on animals just end up being threatening when applied to humans. Dr. Gericke further illustrates this point by explaining that numerous pharmaceutical drugs that were considered safe based on animal experiments, but caused serious or even lethal adverse effects in humans, are proof that the results of animal experiments cannot be transferred to humans with the necessary reliability. Consequently, this form of experimentation is not just harming animals but also humans which is why society needs a new method of
