Animal Testing In 2nd and 4th century BCE animal testing began‚ they used live animals to test experiments on. Now‚ even to this day‚ we use animals to test cosmetics‚ medicines‚ drugs‚ and medical research. Many people have realized how cruel these acts are to the animals and have tried to stop them but to no avail. Humans who use these helpless creatures have yet to realize how wrong it is and that they have feelings and are hurting from all our injections and concoctions used on them for our

Why should animals not have the same rights that humans do? Maybe because they cannot talk‚ read books‚ or drive cars‚ but neither can some humans for that matter. So why is it that when an experiment‚ which was conducted to help treat type 2 diabetes‚ killed 203 people‚ it was halted immediately‚ although millions of animals die each year due to scientific experimentation? The answer is that many believe that animals are worthless or are not worth as much as human beings are‚ so they are therefore

Animal experimentation Countless monkeys‚ dogs‚ rats and other animals are burned‚ blinded‚ cut open‚ poisoned‚ starved and drugged behind closed laboratory doors every year for convenience and economic reasons and because of old habits. Not only are animal tests extremely cruel‚ they are also completely inaccurate because of the vast physiological variations between species. Throughout the years of medical research‚ scientists have immorally exploited animals in the sense that they cannot decide

Why is it okay to harm a defenseless‚ innocent‚ voiceless little animal? Because in a way it benefits us? When did that ever become okay? It’s not‚ and it never will be. Animal Testing is proof that humans will do anything to ensure their safety even though it means they have to hurt another. Poor defenseless animals fight for their lives every day to test out products they have no use for. These poor sweet creatures have been taken away their right to live to be caged and mistreated and they can’t

Many would say no. The testing of animals is extremely unfortunate‚ but also necessary. Due to the fact that animals are perfect test subjects‚ they have helped find cures for many diseases and have made products safer for not only human use but animals as well. According to the California Biomedical Research Association‚ almost every medical breakthrough in human and animal health has been through a direct result of animal research for over a hundred years (1). Animals preform a great role in medicine

Every year millions of animals are used in more than 1‚000 laboratory experiments across the country. The facilities imprison millions of animals and exhaust millions of dollars to cause pain and suffering that are irrelevant to the diagnosis of the human well-being. Universities‚ hospitals‚ contract laboratories‚ pharmaceutical companies‚ and government agencies contribute to unethical animal testing. The cruel living conditions and senseless torture of these animals goes unnoticed by the majority

By the time I have finished this sentence 120 animals will have died in search labs. It is devastating to think of us as an ignorant race. On one hand‚ we love our pets unconditionally. However‚ when it comes to leaving our comfort zone by helping a soul in need that is not recognized as a member of our inner circle‚ we become selfish and unjust.

Over 100 million animals are burned‚ crippled‚ poisoned and abused in U.S. labs every year. 92 percent of experimental drugs that are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials because they are too dangerous or don’t work. Labs that use mice‚ rats‚ birds‚ reptiles and amphibians are exempted from the minimal protections under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). Up to 90 percent of animals used in U.S. labs aren’t counted in the official statistics of animals tested. The

Should animals be used for scientific or commercial testing? From at least 1948‚ animals are being used by the U.S space program for testing aspects of space travel. Animals are used to help in medical treatments‚ determining the toxicity of medications‚ checking the safety of products for humans‚ and other commercial and biomedical uses. Though many say that there is no alternative method for researching a living organism‚ animals are so different from humans that the results are mostly irrelevant
