Animal experiment is the use of animals in scientific research. Scientist believe that animal experimentation helps them understand diseases that afflict animals and humans and use animals to test new treatments for human. Each year millions of animals are being used for scientific experiments. In animal experiments: pain, suffering, and mistreatment is deliberately inflicted on animals. Ethical issues are brought upon many questions. Are animal lives worth human scientific experiments and advancement? Is it fair for animals that have feelings, like people, suffer for human needs? Animal experimentation needs to end; Instead of animal experimentation, scientist need to look at a better alternative where it doesn’t involve the suffering and …show more content…
Animals in laboratories are subjected to numerous invasive and painful procedures, including exposures to toxic drugs and chemicals, force-feeding, invasive surgeries, burns, traumatic injuries, injections, blood draws, biopsies, prolonged restraint, food and water deprivation, dart gun sedation, and psychological manipulation (Problems Associated). Scientist are being inhumane to animals. Implantation of cancerous tumors are being put inside mice for cancer research. Animals are being held down and forced to have chemicals go down their throat. Scientist know this might make them sick or even killed but still do it just for chemical research. It is very wrong and inhumane for a human to do such a thing to innocent animals. Not only do animals suffer pain from experiments being done to them, but also from severe stress. Their lives are being spent in cages. Animals are not being able to do what is natural to them. They don’t get to experience fresh air but only bars and concrete. Same as humans need to move around, communicate, get fresh air and sunlight, and not stay in a small area for too long, animals as well need the same thing. Studies show that mice are able to feel empathy and get even more stressed when seeing other mice in distress. In 2009, an undercover investigation went on that revealed monkeys desperately spinning around and around their cages, ripping out their own hair, and biting open wounds due to the chronic psychological distress they have each and every day in the laboratory life. Animals shouldn’t be put through pain and distress for human
