Testing cosmetics on animals

reported in 2010 that 97,123 animals suffered pain during experiments while given no anesthesia for relief. ‘“1,395 primates; 5,996 rabbits; 33,652 guinea pigs; 48,015 hamsters.” (Should Animals Be used for Scientific or Commercial Testing?) These numbers are outrageous and these animals should not be treated in this manner. People who are using animals for testing and saying that they are using them for “scientific advances” are right in the fact that animal testing has helped us advance in…

The question “is animal testing for medical research acceptable?” has been a particularly controversial topic since experimentation on animals first arose. Although I do not wish to exacerbate a feud with an unforeseeable end, I feel that I am obliged to bring some points to light. On one side of the of the fence, animal rights activists wish to protect vulnerable beings who have no voice yet on the other side thousands of people are dying of possibly curable diseases. A common argument for the…

The Benefits and Environmental Impacts of Animal Testing In the scientific community, the impacts of using animals in research have been debated for hundreds of years. Those who have interests in the matter analyze the history behind it and statistics surrounding its current use to see whether animal testing should continue. One end of the debate, the use of both domesticated and wild animals in scientific experiments has been praised for its contributions to scientific and medical advancements…

The Harsh Reality of Animal Testing “Think about spending your entire life like a prisoner, even though you have committed no crime.” This is a reality for animals in laboratories and is accompanied with feels of deprivation, isolation, and misery. In the United States the law allows different forms of animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, drowned, addicted to drugs, and brain damaged. No matter how painful or trivial, no experiment is prohibited and not one animal’s life…

like it? Millions of animals are killed everyone due to scientists doing test on them. If you think about it imagine what are those tests do to the animals, it damages their body some become very severely ill that they end up death. An unknown author from article “Animal testing” stated that human have no rights to use animals as if they were disposal objects. Its violates animal’s basic rights. Second unknown author from “Animals Rights” stated its absurd to suggest that animals have the rights…

reproductively, quality, and integrity of chemical non-clinical safety tests from physio-chemical properties through acute to chronic toxicity tests. The term GLP is commonly associated with pharmaceutical industry and non-clinical animal testing that should be performed before the approval of new drug. However, GLP applies to many non-pharma companies…

about animal testing, there are several facts that are named, such as these: more than 100 Million animals in US labs around the country are abused, poisoned, burned, and crippled every year. Also, 92% of the experimental drugs that scientists use on animals, are safe and effective for the animals but do not work for humans because they are too dangerous or they did not work. Animal testing is just awful to do because animals do not need to experience so much pain. Scientists should stop testing…

when utilizing animals in any experimentation is determining the harm or the suffering the animals might incur. This is to say, one should try by all means to estimate or weigh the suffering the animals might get. So, by so saying, there have to be some conditions in using the animals in any experimentation like, if it is agreed that animals can be used in experimentations, then strictly their (animals) suffering should be minimized. Then it would reach or be preferable for animals to be…

The Animal Welfare Act has many loopholes and is, moreover, a weak legislation. Surprisingly, rats, mice, birds and cold-blooded creatures, which make up nearly 99% of tested animals in the US, are unprotected by the Animal Welfare Act, according to statistics from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Furthermore, the legislation does not completely protect the included animals from abusive practices, because these federal laws are not…

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;…
