Scientists are Not Doing Enough to Obtain Better Results for Animal Testing FDA reports that the failure rate for animal testing has increased from 86% in 1985 and is now closer to 96% in 2015. Animal testing is not the most reliable way to further human development. Animals lives are put on the line and money is constantly being wasted. If the information from animal testing is not dependable enough to put to use, the entire process will be all for naught. Animal testing dictates animal mortality through inhumane treatment in order to collect data that isn’t always used, squandering money and time. Animal testing is not necessary, questioning the effort put into improving results. Animals are mistreated in the most brutal ways, having limited …show more content…
After they are used, countless animals are injured and continue to live in captivity for the remainder of their lives (Vanhaute). Caged, confined, and treated poorly, these animals live in rough conditions that are hard to survive in. Even after enduring being injected with many types of death-causing illnesses and drugs, they still must remain in harsh imprisonment where it is possible they are receiving even less care and being neglected. It deems unnecessary to put animals in even more pain when they are in such a vulnerable state. Not only decrease chances of getting better results but continuing these tests will also be the cause of dying animals. Trying to find more animals to contribute to these tests might pose a problem, later on, seeing that these animals are specially bred for these experiments. These experiments will have no purpose if quality results aren’t being produced. “In 2015 research 76 646 animals were subjected to Level E invasive experiments which are described by CCAC as procedures which cause severe pain near/at/or above pain tolerance threshold of unanesthetized conscious animal”
