Animal testing uses outdated and archaic testing procedures. In the article “Alternatives to the use of animals in research, testing and education” Jayshree Vencatesan, and advocate of Animal rights who works at Care Earth, describes how in the medical field of humane science there are three R’s every method of testing must follow. The three R’s include: replacement, refinement, and reduction. These must be used when determining alternative methods of testing. Vencatesan states that the most…

Growing up in a family that doesn’t support your education and that doesn’t financially support your education isn’t the best set of circumstances that a student wants. At Pasadena City College I am majoring in Natural Sciences but going towards my VMD of Animal Science to become a veterinarian.

The traits of taking care of 30 chickens,30 rabbits, 40 quail, 7 ducks, 9 parakeets, 2 pheasants, 2 pigs,…

Any adverse reactions to products can be damaging to the companies that produced them; severe reactions could lead to expensive lawsuits. Making the most reliable products creates customer satisfaction and increases business and profits. Animal testing also allows companies to develop and test new concepts and products. Successful…

As children gain knowledge, change and grow through years of experience, so too has the scientific process involving animal testing. From the first baby steps when scientists knew limited information about this particular aspect of scientific experimentation, to today where new ideas abound on substitutes for animals tested in laboratories, the field has evolved into a mature segment of the scientific world. However, similar to a child’s growing pains, the use of animals for testing possible…

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…

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.
