humans and rats/mice are both warm blooded, give birth to living young, and both react similarly to infection and disease. 80% of humans genes have identical counterparts as rats’ genes. In 2010, researchers at McGill University and the University of British Columbia in Canada found that mice subjected to moderate pain “grimace” (which is a facial expression) just like humans. Animal testing is reliable. No other living thing on Earth has the closest anatomical structure as humans than animals.…

Do you know how many animals were used in animal experiments? The research found out that there are more than 26 million animals that were used in animal experiments! This number sounds scary to me. Out of this 26 million animals, 95% are rodents, and ONLY 5% were intellectual animals. The reason why they do animal testing is because they want to find cures for humans. For nearly 100 years, medicines were improved so drastically because of the animal researches and experimental results. The…

Animal Testing When discussing animal testing some may not see it as an issue, but what some people might not know is that these tests are an animal's worst nightmare. These test range from food and water deprivation, to contact with various drugs, injections with chemicals and infectious diseases, and many other cruel experiments. These tests are not only given to rats and mice, but a whole other selection of animals as well. Some of these animals include rabbits, dogs, cats, chimpanzees, and…

Animal Experimentation needed in the 21ST Century? Imagine if you were in a cage, imprisoned with no way out. You’re hungry, apathetic, and in pain but you’re only allowed to eat whenever they want you to eat, you’re only allowed to get out whenever they need you, and instead of alleviating your pain they increase it. They’ve drugged you, dissected you, and tested on you without even asking for your consent. Did you do something wrong? Was it your destiny to be trapped and used for the benefit…

adverse reactions to drugs are declared safe by animal tests, thousands of animals die each year from these reactions. Also, drug reactions are a leading cause of death among societies’ population, affecting 197,000 people every year in the European Union and ascending of 100,000 in the U.S (Archibald, 2012). Therefore, It is absurd that, with advances in technology for medical objectives, the laboratories continue to experiment on animals; and it is also difficult to comprehend the reasons…

Renee Reed Mrs. Williamson English I 20 November 2017 Why Animal Testing is Wasteful In the past 100 years, the California Biomedical Research Association says, almost all medical developments are a denouement of testing that involves animals (“Animal Testing”). And, although this may be true, the question still remains: was (and is) there any alternative to testing of this nature and is it morally right to use animals in testing? To delve into this issue, one must analyze the logistics of…

Sukhi Akter Pr. John Remarek Sub: Language and composition Group: Topaz 7th December 2017 Caged Bird Caged bird means his feet are bound and he is thrown in a cage. He does not have any power for flying. In the poem Maya Angelou says that in the world many birds are living in the lockup and they can’t live by their wish. They always can’t think that they will go to anywhere. In the cage they sing something in their mind that if they could go out of this cage they can fly and they can live…

Many companies today use animals as testing subjects especially in the beauty industry. Yet, nothing is stopping these companies from hurting and/or killing defenseless animals just for the sake of research. Not only does it cause torture and pain to these animals, but it also affects them mentally. Using animals as testing subjects is just like a cord of rope; yes, if tied around the hands loosely enough, the rope will not damage much, but the tighter the rope becomes, the more pain and…

For the past several years testing on animals has become the subject of intense scrutiny. However this form of research has been going on for centuries. Records of animal testing have been tracked back to as early as 384 BC. With well-known scientists such as Aristotle, Erasistratus, and Galen all using this form of testing in their experiments (Rachel Hajar). Animal testing has also led to many medical advancements such as the development of penicillin and finding the first effective treatment…
