Imagine if you were kept prisoner in a facility where you couldn’t control what and when you ate, when the lights went on or off, and had zero control over how you lived your life. Imagine living your life locked up in prison for not committing any crime or doing anything wrong. Isolation, starvation, deprivation, this is how life is for animals locked up in lab facilities being tested for things as simple as cosmetics to as complex cures for diseases. The United States Government allows animals…

While the Federal food, drug, and cosmetic act requires animal testing for pharmaceutical drugs and other chemical compounds that change the structure and the function of the human body it does not specifically require animal testing on cosmetics(Cosmetics). Animals including rats, mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits are put through painful tests that can take weeks and even months. Animals should not be subjected to any cosmetic testing the pain and the suffering of the animals, the living…

The choice of fencing built around a property depends on many factors, such as the type, size and number of animals kept on the farm. A wire mesh or commonly called chicken wire is used to…

Over the years medical science has grown through remarkable research. The tremendous progress that we obtain remains directly correlated with the work performed in research laboratories. Unfortunately, the testing of numerous experimental medications and chemicals need to be performed on a variety of living animals. I not setting aside the fact that these animals experience actual painful disease while researchers complete laboratory experiments. After the viruses are introduced into the…

Windex, Lipstick, Tissues, When you pick these items up from the store, have you ever wondered what went into producing them? Sometimes testing is required by law to meet legal standards, but some of them aren’t needed and put animals in harm for no reason. Even if they are required, animals are still victims of possibly irreversible damage and harm.

Animal behavior, by definition, is the behavior within all the living animals. However, what is exactly called behavior? Does each individual animal possess unique behavior regard any stimuli? Do all the animals born with the unique behaviors? All the curiosities trigger the study of behaviors, which are known as ethology. Behavior is the action that carried out by animals in response of environmental stimulus. Ethologists group all the behaviors into two categories: learned behaviors, are those…

Approaches to using animals as a experimental object vary from person to person.Since animal testing is a contraversial issue, it generates many debates between scientist and animal right activists. Scientists believe that animal testing is only way to discover cures and treatments in order to enhance the health of ill people. Because there is no equal alternative to testing on a living, whole-body system. On the contrary, animal right activist regard animal testing as a cruel and inhumane…

not feel empathy when witnessing a human being shot and killed. But, the moment an animal of some sorts gets shot and killed, the teardrops start flowing. Experimenting on innocent creatures is completely horrific. According to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, otherwise known as PETA, in the U.S alone, over 1.04 million animals were used for scientific experimentation in 2013. That number did not include mice or rats or reptiles, or amphibians. If those animals contributed to…

Yes, animal testing is a everyday thing. Things we use all the time were at one point tested on an animal. Animal testing has been present in our lives for centuries. It started in the fifth century B.C. Every medicine, body products, prescription drugs, and a whole lot of more are used on animals before people start to sell them in stores. The reason animals are tested is because the owners need to make sure the product is safe for other people to use. When animals are tested and something goes…
