However, a quarter of Americans object banning medical research, which results from animal testing. A clear majority of people if they were tied up or injected with substances into the bloodstream or inhalation and force-feeding would lean towards declining the studies. As for animals, we are their voice and give them no option but to be tested on and when finished it either results in death or sold to another laboratory.

This hypocrisy exists because we generally don’t tend to think much about animal ethics.

This blog will focus on the claim that science will be at a halt if animal testing is not allowed by law to be practiced in the future. In past blogs, it was described how much animal testing occurs and how many different uses there are for it. Not only were the different uses for it detailed, but all the different types of animal testing and each ones significance and relevance toward science. Science will be halted due to the loss of the ability of researchers to conduct animal testing for a number of different reasons.

Animal testing using animals in experiments with different chemical substances in everything from medical to cosmetic to determine their safety as well as effectiveness . It’s a problem that has existed since the 3rd and 4th centuries BCE with its merciless methods and painful ways of abusing animals for human demands, but now it’s time for it to stop. Our technology has developed significantly since; therefore, such medieval methods of torturing animals are no longer necessary.

Animal rights is one of the least thought of controversial topics around the globe. Regardless of the way some of the population feels about this idea, there are few people who take responsibility in standing up for these powerless beings. Although it may seem that the negative treatment of these animals appears to be decreasing yearly, there are still a multitude of people who take advantage of these animals’ defenselessness.
