Stop Animal Experimentation! When you go to the store and pick up a beauty product, what do you see? Most people would see models and tv ads, but you know what i see? I see helpless, innocent animals, locked in cages, being victims to the testing of the corrosive, toxic chemicals that are used to make beauty products. Animal testing is cruel and inhumane to most people and the only reason why other people turn their back to helping these animals is because they do not truly understand what…
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 practice of animal testing mutilates…
Animals do not suffer diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and many types of cancer because their bodies with diseases differently than humans. Dogs are typically given experimental drugs which have toxins in them, but toxins to dogs are different from what humans consider toxins. Dogs can not eat chocolate, grapes, raisins, avocados, or nuts because they are filled with toxins that could cause the dog to get very sick or potentially die. The most commonly used animal in the labs, monkeys…
Approximately 50-100 million animals worldwide are subjected to pain, suffering, and distress by means of experimentation. 1 Animal testing, often referred to as animal experimentation or animal research, is a common scientific procedure used in hopes of discovering and understanding biological and psychological processes within humans and animals with the use of non-human subjects. 2 These procedures began in the seventeenth century, but became more common during the nineteenth century as…
Can Cosmetic Testing be 100% Cruelty Free? Imagine this, your household pet such as a dog, rabbit, guinea pig, etc being put through horrific tests that are designed solely to inflict pain and determine how much damage one product is capable of. What you just imagined is not merely a figure of your imagination, but the harsh reality of cosmetic animal testing. Innocent animals are used everyday in laboratories to determine the level of toxicity, irritancy, and overall lethalness a cosmetic…
Animal testing is the use of animals in order to determine the safety of a newly invented product, mainly medicine, drug and cosmetics. Animals are the perfect models to test on since they are similar to humans in some ways and to a certain degree, they can predict the potential effects of a product. However, during the process of testing, animals are brutally neglected and are treated with almost no care. Such practices are inhumane; thus, in 1959 Russell and Burch published The Principles of…
investigate animal welfare and cosmetology from a moral philosophical framework. Is animal testing universally unethical or contingent on circumstance? In particular, is animal testing considered unethical in the cosmetics industry? If so, how do corporate entities, governments, and citizens justify the production and purchase of cosmetic products tested on animals? Are corporations inherently wicked, are the psychopathic, innately selfish, competitive beings? Cosmetic animal testing appears to…
you know the damaging effects animal product testing has on animals? How would you feel if someone told you that your own pet had to go through animal product testing? There are over 25 million of lab animals that go through animal product testing in a year and it is merely atrocious to know what animals have to undergo. Although animal product testing is one of the main way scientists test products, animal product testing is inhumane, and should come to an end. Animals are treated inhumanely,…
alone over one hundred million animals are poisoned, crippled, abused, and killed in laboratories each year. There is only one federal law prohibiting the inhumane treatment of laboratory animals and this law is null to ninety-five percent of the animals being tested. Whole-animal testing is antiquated, and progressive scientists have already developed thousands of more accurate laboratory tests that are cheaper, faster, and most importantly, don 't involve animals. The world doesn 't need…
Every year, approximately 26 millions animals are being used for commercial and scientific testing according to http://animal-testing.procon.org/. Many new developments are made due to animal testing, such as, medical treatments, diagnosing the toxicity of medications, and examining whether products are safe for human use. Although animal testings lead to many life saving treatments, it is considered inhumane and cruel to many because it often inflicts a great amount of pain and suffering on the…
