Testing, experimenting, assessing, and scrutinizing are apart of the procedures that harmless animals are put through every day in order to benefit the human life. What makes torturing animals with chemicals considered a good thing? Animals involved in testing include: rats, rabbits, hamsters, cats and dogs. Imagine a household pet, such as a cat or dog, being put against their will placed in chemicals with no good reasoning? Whether or not you’re human, living creature still deserve to be treated respectfully and fairly, and based on the percentages and experiments being placed on animals; there is no respect or fairness given.
It’s a proven fact that animals and humans are biologically and genetically different in ways that affect the way the animals are tested. The animal toxicity tests have “never been scientifically validated to determine whether or not they can effectively predict the toxicity for humans.” (Arnaud). Toxicity levels have the ability to determine the degree to which an organism can be exposed to a specific type of

Animals in the highest-dose groups often endure severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, convulsions, seizures, paralysis, or bleeding from the nose, mouth, or genitals before they ultimately die or are killed.”(Minniti). Arsenic is a chemical that has the ability to kill a human if there’s a high dosage found within their digestive system. Rats are “more resistant to receiving arsenic poisoning”(Fano); while with humans, the possibilities to arsenic poisoning are endless. Arsenic is a main chemical/drug that is shot up into animals to test their resistance, and determine whether or not humans would be able to withstand the byproduct being made with arsenic; but if the rats being tested are more resistant to becoming sick, then how would the testing be efficient if the resistance levels between the two species are
