and experiment on animals to further our technologies. Often times it comes down to the worth of one creature over another. Our actions are justified by the simple concept of “who you would rather choose to die‚ a rat or a human?” According to Scholz et al. (2013) testing chemicals on vertebrates is essential to determine environmental hazards and to assess the risks. However‚ these tests are often considered inappropriate and raise ethical and financial concerns. Animal testing is not only unethical

But when we glance at what lies beneath our rights as human beings and compare them to animals‚ we may find that we’re not much different. In time‚ animals have been stripped of their rights and used to benefit human life through the process of animal experimentation or‚ animal testing.

There are many ways to experiment on an animal‚ like injecting or force feeding‚ exposure to radiation‚ surgically removing organs or tissue to deliberately cause damage‚ forcing them to inhale toxic gas‚ and subjecting them in frightening situations to create anxiety and depression ("Cruelty Free International.") It may sound sadistic‚ and twisted‚ but put a little trust in the way of science‚ and let’s look at how animal testing

many more other animals are being used for animal testing. These animals are forced to be in labs and are locked up in cages until they die of the drugs that are inserted inside their bodies. Once the researchers say the drugs are safe humans are taking a risk to be severely ill‚ hospitalize‚ or even die. Animal testing for medicine is harmful to both humans and animals because the side effects that occur in the animals are different for humans and the drugs that work on animals fail for humans.

the topic of animal testing‚ most of us will readily agree that it is a debatable topic. Where this agreement usually ends‚ however‚ is on the question of whether it helps researchers to find new drugs and treatments suitable for humans. Whereas some are convinced that it does help researchers find new drugs and treatments‚ others maintain that some drugs tested on animals may never actually be useful or even safe for human consumption.

For centuries animals have been experimented on for human benefits. People tend to forget that millions of animals are being tortured and even killed during the process of these extremely painful experiments. There are many other‚ more humane ways to test products that do not result in animals being harmed. For years now millions of helpless animals are suffering for our benefits. It is not fair for these harmless animals to live their entire lives in agony. Bleeding‚ blindness‚ liver problems

debate whether or not using animals in research is humane. An estimated 26 million animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing. [2] Proponents of animal testing state that it has enabled the development of numerous life-saving treatments for both humans and animals‚ while opponents state that animal testing is cruel and often yields irrelevant results because animals are so different from human beings. Many different animals are used in scientific studies
