Once the public became aware that animals were being injured and killed from after being subjected to testing for human products, whether or not animal testing should be permitted has become a controversial debate. Some people think animal testing is a necessity for human safety. Other people think that animal testing is not essential, and harms animals unnecessarily. In comparing these arguments, the proper conclusion is that animal testing should not be permitted. Animal testing is not something that has to be done.…
In this article, Andrew Rowan, the author, speaks for arguments of people who are for animal testing and against animal testing. Rowan reports and explains thorough examples of animal research in times in which it failed, and when it succeeded which to me is very crucial when it comes to writing the argumentative assignment. The author does not have much of a bias in this article due to the fact that he is stating both sides of the argument with providing valid evidence for each. It includes a significant amount of details and facts for both sides of the argument while not favoring one side or the other. This source is extremely valuable to me in the fact that it is beneficial to know each side of the arguments to collect as much information…
Each year, thousands of animals are euthanized due to animal research. Many individuals may argue that scientist are putting the lives of animals in danger by testing on them, however, is animal lives valued human lives? By showing emotion there may be some guilt for harming the lives of animals, although puzzling over the percentage of human lives are saved from animal testing doing all the research worthwhile. Should animal testing be banned in America? “Arguments against Animal Testing” by Natasha was written for the general audience who are interested in articles about animal testing.…
“If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn 't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead. So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a bunny rabbit 's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson 's eyes and ask him if it hurts,” said comedian Ellen DeGeneres in My Point... And I Do Have One, her humorous reflection on her life. Though Ellen DeGeneres makes a hyperbolic point, she questions the ethicality of animal testing.…
The question of whether if testing on animals is ethical and humane was raised and examined. Up until the 20th century, animal testing was looked at as ethical under any circumstances. It was assumed that animals feel very little to no pain and don’t have the same rights as humans. According to M.A. Fox, an ethical philosopher, “Animals do not have ‘rights’ equivalent to humans due to their exclusion from the human ‘moral community’” (Baier 137-138).…
While scientists often argue that animal testing is necessary for medical advancement, it can be considered inhumane and is not always necessary. Animals are used in research to determine the safety of products, advance in science, study disease, and develop forms of treatment. While there are alternatives for…
Animal testing is among one of the most controversial issues worldwide. Animal testing can lead to many great discoveries in our constant evolving world, but can also endanger the lives of innocent creatures. Through many arguments, animal testing puts the life of animals at risk in order to try to make advancements in the medical, cosmetic, and scientific fields. The first animal testing began in the 17th century on numerous animals to demonstrate blood circulation. Animal testing expanded quickly and in 1876 parliament passed the Cruelty to Animal Acts in Europe.…
Activists are demanding to reduce the use of animals in experimentation. Protesters are attacking biomedical scientists rather than those who provides food or clothing. Ingrid Newkrik who is a national director of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals declares that six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses. Every year the cost of animals to use for experimenting goes up. Animal testing has first been used in 1242, a man named Ibn al-Nafis provided accurate descriptions of the circulation of blood in mammals.…
Why Products Shouldn’t Be Tested On Animals Imagine being locked up in a cold cage with nothing you can say or do to get out, to be locked up your entire life like a prisoner when you have done nothing wrong. This is how millions of animals are feeling right now, not knowing that they will go through a painful procedure that could harm or even kill them. This is animal abuse. 67 percent of people believe that it is wrong for animals to be tested on, and I am one of them.…
Animal welfare states the laws and regulations needed to follow to ensure a safe and ethical lab experiment on animals. It also argues the point that animals have absolutely no right or say in what is going on with them nor are they subject to any court trials on behalf of their abuse. This extremely opinionated source lists the many reason to be against animal testing and the unjust treatment they are getting. The purpose of this book is to state and explain the laws animal testing is “sliding under” and to help the reader understand the laws that are already existing to prevent such hearsh conditions.…
After studying multiple views on animal testing I have come to realize my personal view has now changed since the start of my research. Before undergoing heavy study into animal testing I believed that all types of animal testing should be stopped, but now I believe that the idea is very beneficial and should only be done when the rights of the animal are considered. In the coming years, hopefully, more regulations can be passed to ensure that all animal’s lives are protected during experimentation. Although most animals are treated with care and no pain is dealt to them when undergoing testing, it would be a lie if I stated no animals are harmed during the process. Animal testing is extremely useful in developing life-saving drugs and medicine.…
Though I concede that in some situations, animal testing may be useful, such as in immensely important medical studies, I still maintain that it is unnecessary to make an animal suffer and be discriminated against. Although some people may think that animal testing is healthy and beneficial to humans, I believe that animal testing is unethical and utterly wrong because of the unfair repulsive treatment that animals receive from scientists. This topic is important because the world we live in is as much an animal 's world as it is a human’s world and right now humans are discriminating and enslaving…

Today we have made many advances in the world. A scientific evolution has firmly been set, yet in doing so we have failed to set moral and ethical boundaries along the journey. The knowledge we have acquired is remarkable, but with it comes responsibility to use it wisely and ethically. Every day we torture and kill thousands of animals for our own heartless wants. Animal Testing has been a highly debated and ongoing topic for many years.…
