How To Write A Persuasive Speech On Animal Testing
I’m an animal rights activist at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and I am here today to tell you about the cruelty of animal testing. So, what’s the deal with humans? What’s the deal with animals? What’s the deal with humans.. TESTING on animals? What has bothered me for a while is the controversial topic of animal testing and how people are completely unaware of the harm innocent animals go through. Currently, millions of mice, rats, primates, and other animals are locked inside of cages in laboratories across the country, where they experience pain, ache in loneliness, and long to be free. Animal testing is the use of animals for scientific experiments that causes them pain, distress, and harm. I believe that this is

Because we live in a world that is very technical and up-to-date, there are several non-animal test methods that are proven to be more humane and potentially cheaper, faster, and more relevant to humans. For instance, there is “in vitro”, a method that consists of growing human cells in a system that imitates the structure and functions of human organs. There is also “in silico”, a method that evaluates the life cycle of a disease through an advanced modelling computer. And lastly, human volunteers use the method of “microdosing”, which is applying very low drug doses in humans that are unlikely to produce whole-body effects, but high enough to produce a response to be studied.
Since these alternative methods are more reliable, it is unnecessary to use animals for drug testings and research.
As an animal activist, whenever I watch videos on animal torture in factories and research testings, it completely breaks my heart knowing that people are unaware or are just not educated enough to comprehend other potential tactics that are just as effective. That is why it’s important to understand these processes and outcomes; to know the results, and know how to not contribute to them. Hopefully, today I have left you all with an insight of how harming animals will not benefit
