Vivisection is inhumane and cruel. Everyday animals are put through horrendous testing over and over again, just in the name of science. These animals are taken from their homes, beaten and used up in the labs, and are even put down when they are not needed. Animals and humans are built differently; because of this, animals do not suffer from disease in the same way that people do. Effort should be made prohibiting vivisection because it is unnecessary, inhumane, and morally unethical. According to the shell ethics article it says that, “Vivisection is a completely outdated form of experimentation and irrelevant medical practice that serves no purpose than to torture and kill animals in laboratories.” There are plenty of alternatives to animal

Some inhuman ways include his horrifying it is that some animals are just taken from their home to be used up in laboratories. An example of this are the chimpanzees that are separated from their families. Profoundly social beings, they spend everyday together exploring, crafting and using tools to solve problems together. But sadly, in the early 1920s, experimenters in the U.S. began purchasing baby chimpanzees, who had been kidnapped from the forests of Central and West Africa. To capture baby chimpanzees, hunters would kill the mothers and any other adult chimpanzees who tried to defend the babies. Often, whole families were killed just to obtain a few babies. The mortality rate among these babies during captivity and transport was increased . Those who made it to U.S. laboratories suffered terribly and died young.An example can include when an animal is no longer useful and what they do to them.Some animals need to be euthanized after testing, this is done quickly and humanely to avoid any pain to the animals.Some animals are euthanized using a gas that is inhaled and results in rapid death. The animal may be put into a chamber where it will then inhale the gas; usually carbon monoxide. Another method used to euthanize animals after is used for testing are sedative or anesthetic ways. In fact, such methods are used in water to euthanize fish that have been used for vivisection. An example is a pig that following exposure to a lethal dose of radiation, showed signs of organ failure, loss of appetite, depression, had chronic bleeding from injection sites, an injured tooth, and did not want to stand up but was seen with his head hanging in his water bowl with his nostrils submerged. Another example is when three dogs were forced to ingest a test substance every day for five days; they experienced labored breathing and a high heart rate. They became cold to the touch, were not able to be aroused and
