Argument In Favor Of Animal Testing

More than 100 million animals are killed every year for commercial and scientific testing just in the United States alone! Animal testing is appalling. It is so sad that animals don't get to live in their natural habitat and have to be pinned up their entire life. So many animals are used for animal testing such as, mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds. All of these animals have to be crammed in cages for weeks on end. Animal testing should not be allowed because there is alternative solutions. The one thing that is great about animal testing, is that it has found many life-saving cures and treatments for humans and animals. Every medical breakthrough in the last one hundred years has been performed on animals
In Vitro is an example of an alternative method. In Vitro is when u test cell cultures in a Petri dish, this testing is more relevant than animal testing because human cells can be used. They get human volunteers and they analyze their blood. Paul Furlong, professor of clinical neuroimaging at Aston University, says that it is very hard to create an animal model that is even equivalent to humans (“Experiments”). That is why we should use the Vitro method, because it is much more accurate than animal testing. Animal testing is inhumane and cruel. According to Human Society International, animals used are forced or eat, food and are water deprived for long periods of time. Infliction of burns and other wounds to study the process of healing, the result of pain to study the effects. The Draize eye test, is used on bunnies, it is when bunnies eyelids are held back with clips, so they can't blink for several days. They get soap put in their eyes to see how long it burns (“Experiments”). In 2010 the USDA reported that 97,123 animals suffered pain during experiments when given no anesthesia for
