Animal Testing: Should Animals be used in Research? Animal testing is the use of living animals for scientific or commercial testing. According to my first source‚ an article found on animalresearch.thehastingscenter.org‚ called Animals Used in Research in the U.S.‚ in 2010‚ there were about 26 million animals being used for research. Mice‚ rats‚ fish and birds are the most common animals used; they are about 96% of the 26 million animals used. Other animals used in research that year were Guinea

samples in an animal laboratory. The things people take granted for such as makeup‚ hair care products‚ medicines‚ and perfumes are productional objects that were all once tested to be sure they were safe for human use. The truth about what happens inside laboratories is something that hasn’t been uncovered to the public eye. There’s a concept of both animal cruelty and animal testing but in all reasoning‚ they have the same effect towards the innocent animals. The use of laboratory animals are mostly

Is animal testing really wrong? Using animals to test on provides us a better determination of how humans will react‚ it is an better option than finding it out too late on humans. Not to mention it saves human lives worldwide‚ it can find several cures to diseases. The fatality rate of childhood cancer has decreased markedly from 95% to 25%‚ this we have animal testing to thank for. This is one of the factors to why I think that animal testing is good and should be allowed. Firstly‚ we all have

Cosmetic testing on animals The first test was designed in the 1920’s and it was developed to test the toxicity of certain products. Testing cosmetics on animals in the United States is very common. About a thousand mice‚ guinea pigs‚ rats and rabbits undergo pain or die each year. Animal testing is different in some circumstances. Animal testing involves the inability to consent. It involves pain‚ suffering‚ and discomfort under certain situations. Researchers aren’t fully able to block out the

Our case is that if we don’t test on animals then progress in scientific fields would be halted. As first speaker for the negative I will speak about the benefits of animal testing in general and then I’ll talk in detail about animal testing in medicine. My second speaker will talk about the opinions on testing and the food chain and my third speaker will summarise our points and rebut. Safety tests are conducted on a wide range of chemicals and products‚ including drugs‚ vaccines‚ cosmetics‚

There are many incentives to move away from vivo testing. One of the main motivations to use alternative methods is ethical: toxicity tests in all fields are associated with high levels of suffering (Burden‚ Sewell‚ and Chapman 1-8). Not only are there ethical drives‚ but there are also scientific drives to ultimately eliminate animal testing (Burden‚ Sewell‚ and Chapman 1-8). One scientific drive is the question that must be answered: is it acceptable for a human being to be exposed to it‚ not just

Animal Experimentation: A Cruel‚ Outdated Practice Animal experimentation‚ or testing‚ is a method used to discover cures to illnesses; the functions of organs; the anatomy of the body; the safety‚ effectiveness‚ and reliability of cosmetic‚ pharmaceutical‚ and household products on animals (“About Animal Testing”). An estimated 25 million animals are subject to these practices each year in the United States (“Harm and Suffering”). Because of the massive number of animals used in experimentation

Animal Rights- Ban Testing Ally Torres English 10 April 25‚ 2012 Mr. Bannon Animals are unique creatures placed all around the world‚ each with their own genuine‚ exotic‚ and weird personalities. Unfortunately‚ every year‚ “scientists” use them to test potentially dangerous products that most people use in our everyday lives. Although scientists claim that there is no other way to test them‚ and that their work ethics are a necessity to keep the society safe‚ they are wrong. There are many

twenty-six million animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing. Animals have been used for years to test the toxicity of medications‚ drugs‚ and chemicals. Despite the fact that people benefit from animal research‚ the torment‚ misery‚ and the deaths of animals are not worth the human advantages. Also‚ there are alternatives to animal testing so it is unnecessary to keep testing on them. Therefore‚ It should be illegal to use animals for research purposes

Animal Testing Since 2002‚ over 1 million animals that the USDA collects numbers on‚ which includes dogs‚ cats‚ sheep‚ hamsters‚ guinea pigs‚ and primates‚ have been tested on. Since then‚ that number has increased to approximately 1.4 million. This excludes all rats and hamsters used in testing‚ which normally make up 90% of testing. This percentage‚ however‚ remains only as an estimate because US laws do not require scientists to record how many rats‚ birds‚ and mice are used. Cages for theses
