People all over the world find the practice to be inhumane, cruel, and unnecessary. Scientists are constantly monitored to ensure regulations are followed, but not all animals are protected under these regulations, and not all…

Humans have been testing on animals for hundreds of years now while having the ongoing debate of whether or not animal testing is ethical. [Common Ground] However, many people have not considered what is necessary and what is unnecessary when it comes to animal testing [Destabilizing Condition].

Animal testing was revived in Greece about 2300 years ago; however, it became widely used only from 1850 (Understanding animal research, 2015). After this time, many breakthroughs were made such as insulin for diabetics, hepatitis C vaccine and medicine for epilepsy, which have saved countless number of animals’ and humans’ lives (AMP, 2015). Today, we have developed many alternatives to animal testing, thanks to new technologies, which are used to develop and test new medicine and treatments;…

Animal Testing Paper After decades of animal testing, most cosmetic companies have ruled out the ingredients that don 't benefit their products. With this knowledge, they are able to produce cosmetics with ingredients that are known to be safe for use. Animal testing should not be justified by our enjoyment of cosmetics. The torture and premature death that animals have to endure is inhuman because they have no choice, but cosmetic companies do have the option to take another route to test…

imitation of animal cruelty that is affiliated with animal research in order to demonstrate to the public the conditions that test animals are treated in labs every single day. Animal testing is used in order to experiment with specific treatments, products, and medicine; to study viruses; and to ensure the safety of other animals and humans. Animals of all families used in research are treated brutally and have minimal protection in…

Throughout history, animal experimentation has proved to be crucial to the development of our society. Since as early as the 17th century, we see how animal testings have led to important discoveries such as the understanding of the blood circulation and the function of the lungs in Medieval Europe . And now, scientists are relying on chimpanzees in hopes to help create the Hepatitis C vaccine . Overall, I believe that the state’s policy on animal experiments, as it is covered in the Criminal…

known well when it comes to having a discussion on animal testing is what exactly happens when animals are being tested and what the alternatives of animal testing are. Animal testing takes potential chemicals that big industries want to introduce, such as the cosmetic or pharmaceutical industries, and injects them into animals to examine the reactions of the animals to the chemical (Abbott 1).

treatment of animals, “Each year, more than 100 million animals including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetic testing. Considering the list of animals above, most of these are considered common household pets. How are household pets beneficial to medical research? Most of the 100 million animals being…
