Why Shouldn T Animal Testing Continue

Animals should NOT be used for testing in labs. There are many reasons why this dilemma should stop. They have different bodies than humans so the tests may react different on them than on humans and that could lead to danger to people. I think if scientists have to lab test on something living then they should pick something overpopulated, but that still is not okay, therefore something needs to be figured out. Or instead of using helpless animals, they should use all natural products and take human volunteers willing to get tested on. Why risk poor helpless little animal’s lives? Why torture them? It is proven that animals are not the best test subjects to use.

According to humane society international, “animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding, force inhalation, food and water scarcity, and burns and other wounds to study the healing process.” We should be able to figure something out without causing harm to them. The Draiz eye test, used by makeup companies to analyze irritation caused by shampoos
and other products, involves rabbits being harmed in stocks with their eyelids held open by clips, sometimes for multiple days, so they cannot blink away the products being .That is just complete torture. Imagine you having to sit for days in one place with your eyelids being held open by clips, no blinking, and no closing your eyes. How would you sleep?

There are so many reasons to disagree, I could write for days.
Another reason is, “94% of drugs that pass animal tests fail human scientific trials.” So it’s not necessarily safe for humans after testing on animals. The commonly used LD50 (lethal dose 50) test involves finding out which amount of a chemical will kill 50% of the animals being used in the experiment. Anyone who agrees with this cruel treatment is
horrible.

Another con on the topic of animal testing is the price.
Animal testing usually costs a huge amount of money, as the animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. On top of that, animal testing may take place more than once and over the course of months, which means that added costs are incurred. There are companies who breed animals specifically for testing and animals can be purchased through them, which is not exactly healthy for the
animals.

Other people who have a different point of view than me think way differently. Like “Experiments in which dogs had their pancreases removed to the discovery of insulin, serious to saving the lives of diabetics.” Also “Chris Abe, Director of the University Of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's animal research facility, states that "we wouldn't have a vaccine for hepatitis B without chimpanzees,". And says that the use of chimps is "our best hope" for finding a vaccine for Hepatitis C, a disease that kills 15,000 people every year in the United States. One could argue easily between both opinions, but not me!
