Animal Testing
Every year, over 100 million animals are painfully put to death because of animal testing. Experimentation on animals goes way back since the beginning of time. Typically it is conducted for advancement in scientific research, to test products and food before going out into the market, to find treatments or test medical drugs, and to protect people and the environment. Animal experimentation has been a controversial issue for quite some time, but has yet to be put to an end. Vivisection should be prohibited and there are, in fact, more reliable alternatives to these inhumane experimentations. The acts of animal testing are extremely cruel and unethical and no living creature should have to endure the variety of pain that test subjects go through without their own consent. Millions of animals suffer from experimentation each year, but that number is not even precise since there are several countries that do not publish their data. Animals can receive something as little as an injection, or something as extreme as an organ transplant. Experiments classify the pain as being mild, moderate, severe, or unclassified. 61% of experiments fall into the category of severe suffering. Many of these severe tests predict from the start that an animal will die. Sometimes scientists try to mimic symptoms of diseases in animals to treat them, but that does not necessarily cure the disease. Animals are maternally deprived and suffer in isolation. Right now, there are millions of animals imprisoned in laboratories, wishing to roam free. They do not know which of them is next in line to be a part of a trial that will most likely cause them, pain, suffering, and death. Animals often become very stressed during the process and develop neurotic behaviors. It is common for animals to become out of control and to starting biting away at their fur, hair, or skin. Some trials involve chemically burning their flesh or eyes. Others test entail being force fed, or even
