Animal Testing Benefits

Throughout history animals have been used to test everyday products and medicine to make sure they are safe for human consumption. The animal’s everyday life consist of torture, sleeping in cold cages, and often sometimes dying from the painful experiments performed on them. At times the animals are harmed so much that the start to show signs of erratic behavior like scratching their eyes out, biting themselves, and go through stages of stress or depression. After all the research is completed the animals are killed and thrown into medical waste. In todays the abuse continues. Numerous amounts of rabbits, rats, mice are being held in science laboratories across the world. Countless number of researchers believe that the only way to verify that
Not only humans, but animals also benefit from the use of animal testing. In fact, if animals aren’t used for medical research certain vaccines for rabies, hepatitis and other diseases wouldn’t be curable (Trull). However, many people argue that the human anatomy differs from that of animals. Nonetheless, animals and humans still share common features. For example, monkeys, just like humans, share the same fundamental use of hormones to counteract infections, which has helped scientist improve research (Trull). For the people who doubt animal testing should go to hospitals and look at patients who have survived from illnesses and diseases, because if it had not been for animals lives wouldn’t be
For instance more than 90 percent of drugs and products that are approved fail when consumed by humans (Casey). This is because experiments done on animals have no relevance to human life at all. New technology like In Vitro has recently surfaced that could make the use of animals no more.

“We have moved away from studying human disease in humans. We all drank Kool-Aid on that one, me included. The problem is that animal testing hasn’t helped improved, and it’s time we stopped dancing around the problem…We need to refocus and adapt new methodologies for use in humans to understand disease biology in humans”.

Do you ever wonder how beauty products and medical treatment are get the seal of approval for human use? Today many beauty and health manufactures validate their product through animal testing. These poor and defenseless creatures are being held in steel cold cages waiting to be performed on to advance human life. Animal testing should be terminated because the animals live in fear and pain, violates their rights and other methods are available to accurate data for products and
