Cross your heart‚ hope to die‚ stick a needle in your eye Awakening with a large needle in your eye‚ you realize you have been stripped from your mother and thrown into a small cold cage. A few hours later‚ you begin to go blind: something grabs you‚ another needle is pierced into you once again‚ and you start to fade away. Countless animals awaken to the same grim fate. They have no idea what is happening or what they did to deserve this treatment. Every day‚ every hour‚ and every minute‚ a laboratory

Their discoveries were made by firstly studying the human anatomy using dissection and vivisection‚ finding ways to heal using things such as plants and herbs‚ then finally practising surgery on the human body using different instruments. Before the scientific method developed‚ most people still saw medicine as a religion‚ and believed that

Granted a royal charter by King Charles II in 1660‚ the Royal Society‚ was‚ to a large extent‚ the product of the Enlightenment. Inspired by Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis‚ the Royal Society began to call into question many of the assertions of Galen‚ Aristotle‚ and other crafters of the ancient scientific canon‚ which served for many years‚ particularly in the wake of humanism‚ as the foundation and ultima ratio of European science (America‚ 2013).

Animal testing is a practice that helps new discoveries in the fields of science and health sciences. However‚ it has been laid on top of a hidden‚ dark torture chamber. The reckless torture of animals involved is abysmal. The theme of the essay is to point out that animals and humans share the same fate during torture and humans should start treating animals with the respect they deserve and give them the freedom they are destined to enjoy.

According to the history‚ Aristotle who lived in 384-322 BC was the first to use living animals in experiments; whereas Galen‚ a physician in second-century Rome‚ was known as the “father of vivisection” from his experiments on living pigs. However‚ these experiments were not conducted in the name of clinical research; they were done to gain knowledge about the animals themselves. In that period of time‚ man was not set next to animals in comparison
