Animal Testing is the process of using products on non human animals for experimentation to record the reaction the animal has in order to see the effects of a product. Each year over 100 million innocent animals are killed for animal testing.

They suffer and are killed during experiments‚ which is really unethical and cruel. Bisgould states that “animal lives had been killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation‚ neck-breaking‚ decapitation‚ or other means”. They already suffer everything from testing with poisoning‚ burn skin‚ brain damage‚ and electronic shock. All suffering is not acceptable‚ even if it is in humans or animals. Animals can suffer just like human beings do. It is considered as unethical for both humans and animals because animals

Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance level (i.e. alpha = .05)‚ does showing the film change students’ attitudes towards the chronically mentally ill? What does it mean to set alpha at .05? Alpha means making a Type I error same as significance level. When the alpha is at .05 it means that the researcher doesn’t want to take a big risk therefore sets the alpha to .05. By doing this it will make it hard for hypothesis testing process to reject the null hypothesis

However‚ many people argue that the human anatomy differs from that of animals. Nonetheless‚ animals and humans still share common features. For example‚ monkeys‚ just like humans‚ share the same fundamental use of hormones to counteract infections‚ which has helped scientist improve research (Trull).

Apart from that‚ animal testing also has poor results in both drug testing experiment or medical research. This is because the anatomic‚ metabolic and cellular differences of animal and human are very much different from each other which makes them as poor test subject for human beings. Consequently‚ these absurd experimentation are unable to generate and predict accurate result that may occur in human beings. For instance‚ cancer has an abysmal record of failures where both humans and animals react
