In American History, we are currently studying the concept of sectionalism. Sectionalism is the division within a country based on regional beliefs and interests. In the early-mid 1800’s, sectionalism in America grew as slavery divided the Nation. Slavery was ignored, compromised, and argued about by the states until the conflict drove our country into the Civil War. Although regional differences are not as distinct these days, many issues are currently causing division among the states and people of our country. These issues lead to what our history class describes as “modern sectionalism.” One such issue is Animal Testing. In the article “About Animal Testing,” the author begins by stating what animal testing was. It had shown the effects …show more content…
All it is saying is that that are going to get these helpless animals and these people at BSI are going to gas them with chemicals, inject them with diseases, and risk of killing them. It says that some animals have died in this process and won’t even get recorded into the data, so the number of 115 million animals used, isn’t exact. This medicine will cause psychological stress and pain to these animals. The same animals that could be in your house right now. Do you really want people to kill these animals that could be found in your house? Some examples of this include cats, dogs, mice, and even guinea pigs.? AI think that animal testing should be banned because of all of these animals that BSI is wasting too see what medicines they can take. Even when all of these animals are not exactly like humans, we still use medicines and diseases on them to basically do nothing on the human part of …show more content…
Animals that are used for this method have been through force-feeding, forced inhalation, food and water deprivation, prolonged periods of physical restraint, the infliction of burns and other wounds to study the healing process, the infliction of pain to study its effects and remedies, and killing by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck-breaking, decapitation, or other means. Second, we now have technology to use instead of animals. We can use other test subjects and draw their blood or Petri dishes that produce more relevant tests than animals too. Animal testing should be banned for the reason that these animal tests aren’t exactly 100% accurate. Some of the drugs that were used on animals and have worked, they were defective on humans. Over 85 HIV vaccines have failed in humans. Since this has happened, we have tried 150 clinical trials for humans for patients that we for extremely ill and they had all failed, even though they were successful with these animals. My plan for making this an illegal thing is to make sure that all of these animal testing facilities are shut down. I would like these scientists that work in these industries to have a better job than killing animals with chemicals. All these scientists need for their job is to have human test subjects that request it and then can test on them. I highly restrict using animals for this because of how inhuman it is. Humans will be 99.9% the
Animal testing has been getting worse and worse by the minute; 100 million animals die each year from the painful, death-threatening experiences. Animal testing has been around since 322 BC. Some people believe no living creature should ever be treated like that and be put in treacherous experiences that they have no say in to stop them. Others think it is a great, more realistic way for testing products we use on an everyday basis. People all over the world say it's the closest thing were ever going to get to an actual human being.
Live animals aren 't necessary for testing, there are many options such as laptop software, robots, human tissue cultures, and mathematical statistics. Furthermore, the tests the animals are used for regularly come back with fake, misleading outcomes. Humans have been harmed because animals do not react the same way with certain drugs and treatments that people do. Animals additionally do not have the same genetic makeup that humans do, so testing drugs on them is useless. Finally, testing on animals has many moral problems that go with it.
As early as Greek physicians or scientist such as Aristotle animals have been tested. But people haven 't been happy about it recently, recently being within the last 200 years. Theodore Roosevelt once said on this topic, “Common sense without conscience may lead to crime, but conscience without common sense may lead to folly, which is the handmaiden of crime.” Which means thinking without caring for others or other thing leads to crime but lack of common sense even with conscience may lead to folly or foolishness, which practically is crime. People have not agreed with animal testing for centuries but it is hard to stop because there is always the argument of, “We need medicine and the only way to do that is to test on animals.”
This brings up the question of how are animal testing even ethical within the society we live in. If I wasn’t already being clear enough, I believe it is highly unethical, and there are many different viable options that exist. Each year, millions of animals are being killed and are being used for experiments by scientists,cosmetic companies and household product. Animal testing is not the way to go, it is just merciless. These poor animals are being stripped away from their psychological and physical needs.
Most of the animal testings fail and this shows there is no need for it. “Statistics show that 92% of the medical products tested on animals will fail human health tests, making animal testing seem very unreliable. Though 93% of tests either have no pain involved or pain that is relieved by anesthetics, 7% of experiments are classified as causing significant pain that was not relieved. since mice and rats were not included in that statistic the number of cases with unrelieved pain might be much higher.” (Cons of Animal Testing) Animal testing causes animals to suffer from extreme frustration and ache with loneliness.
The validity and even humanity in animal testing is something on the margins of morale, it is not something done out of joy, it is not pleasurable for the testers or the tested themselves. So there, we are given a reason to submit the simple question of whether animal testing should be permitted at all. Why not simply cut our losses and move on to greener pastures, after all it is indeed the definition of grotesque to experiment on living beings and people may have been right to protest and raise awareness for such cruel misconducts. There must be something that can be done.
When animals are tested on, they suffer physical damage. Animals are given painful injections. They are also bathed in chemicals which can burn and irritate their skin. Parts of their body are even removed for some tests. In Dogs Should Not Be Used for Animal Experimentation, it says “Experimenters try to mimic human disease by artificially inducing the condition, or its consequences, in animals.”
Every day animals are taken into laboratories and companies to be tested for medications, cosmetics, and harsh cleaning chemicals to determine if they are safe for use. These tests cause long-lasting physical and mental harm--and often death, to each and every animal. Animal Testing should not be legal due to the costly, inaccurate test results it provides and the life-threatening effects it poses to animals. Many people who agree with animal testing, and wish to see it continue will say that animal testing gives way for medical growth in medications and provides the community with safe and tested medications. It is true that animal testing provides the population with testing medications, but when you test on animals for medicines that benefit humans, the results will most likely be skewed.
For example, the article “Animal Testing has a purpose” states, “Today the (Food and Drug Administration) FDA sets higher standards for drug testing. Before a drug can even make it to the animal testing stage, it must first pass metabolic studies that prove the drug will be safe in human tissue. These new regulations are designed to save human lives.”
That means that out of a 100 experiments, 92 of those drugs are not safe to us, but they might be safe to use on animals. (livescience) Just that one statistic alone shows how unreliable animal experiments are. If that is not bad enough, website www.hsi.org states that up to 90% of animals used in laboratories are not recorded in official statistics, meaning that figures by the U.S Department of Agriculture are underestimated. And while www.speakingofresearch.com doesn’t talk about any specific number, the website states the same, that a big part of animals used in experiments are excluded from the statistics.
Animal Testing Sometimes when we test different medicines or different products on animals, there are serious side effects. These side effects can be very harmful and painful to the animals. These tests can be very beneficial because if we test it on an animal, then we would not give it to a human if it would harm or kill the animal. We should continue with animal testing, it may put the animals in some pain but it is better than having a human die after using it.
Animals Testing Is animal testing necessary?. Should we ban expending animals in medical research or not?. More than 26 million animals are used in different countries like the United States and Canada. Animal testing may by defining as the use of animals in experiments and research that seeks to control the variable that impacts the behavior or biological system under study. Using large number of animals is mainly meant to find treatments and cure for certain diseases.
Your animal will be used for a new drug research, it says. Now, they may not come barging into your house, but the principle is the same. Animals are being tested (tortured). Animal testing shoulde be illegal, since it’s cruel, inaccurate, and is simply a disadvantage. Don’t believe me?
Firstly, animal testing should be banned is because of its cruelty. The
In conclusion, there should be a stop to animal testing because most of the time animal testing don’t meet the human standards and are being treated in a cruel and inhumane way. We have forgotten to put their lives into consideration and have failed to remember that they have as much rights as we
