Picture your family pet crying for help with puss oozing from its eyes and huge lumps covering its entire body. That is a normal day for the animals in a testing laboratory. “More than twenty-five million animals are used in research, testing, and education each year, according to the Humane Society of the United States” (Watson 7). Many of the animals that are used in these tests have been genetically modified to fit the certain experiments that they need.

People for animal testing argue that animals are such a good model of humans that testing can show what these products would do to us humans. So if they are so similar, why is it wrong to do these tests on humans but not on animals? Because animals simply can not speak in a way we can understand? Next time you use mascara or shampoo think of what thousands of animals had to go through for you to get that
