Animal testing.
This is my debate essay on animal testing, in this essay will tell both sides of the argument. It will tell how animals should be treated, and give different options to animal testing that both sides can agree on. It will give facts and opinions on both sides. Why animal testing is good and why it is bad. It will provide a thesis and a conclusion to help with the understanding.
Why is animal testing such an incisive topic? Well some people believe that research on animals is a horrid living. Even though animals have feelings, and they are not humans. They are closely related to humans. It’s an easier way of testing different products without harming humans in the process. While others believe that it’s cruel and inhumane. How do you know which side to vote for? It’s simply this if you read my essay and think that what this essay tell you is good then you probably agree with animal testing. If the opposite then you are against it. But some people have mixed feelings.. …show more content…
Why is animal testing good for the human race?
Well to answer that question is a little more complicated then what people think. Animal testing can help in many different ways such as helping to fight cancer, or to grow different extremities. All around the world animals are being tested on, whether or not it’s for medical or cosmetic use is different. “150 million cattle, pigs, and sheep are killed just for people to eat. While the amount used for testing is 26 million and most of them are rodent, birds, and fish. We consume more 340 chickens for every one animal we test on animals.

Now for the other side of the argument, reasons for why animal testing is bad. The first and most talked about reason is how inhumane and cruel animal testing is. Animals are subject to all kinds of horrible experiments like “killing by carbon dioxide asphyxiation” and force feeding and many more. In
2010 the USDA reported that 97,123 animals suffered and went through pain during testing with no anesthia.
A couple other reasons animal testing is bad most tests that work good on animals don’t do well on humans.
What is to be believed would be a great compromise is to fix the living conditions, such as cleaning up there habitat. The staff in the lab should be more trained for protocols involving the experimentation of animals. There should be no pain caused by lab staff, and animals should be able to go outside not kept in isolation from other animals.
In conclusion testing on animals shouldn’t be but so bad if the animals could have better living condition, and be able to have the same amount of freedom as living humans. On the same token people should not ban testing on animals all together because it brings so much help to the human community. Yes it may seem bad but there is more pro’s then con’s.
