The Pros And Cons Of Animal Testing

521 Words3 Pages

On a national level, animal testing and abuse is very common. Animals are just like every other living thing whether they look like us or not. They have feelings, organ systems, and ways to communicate with their kind. These animals can feel all the tests they are put through no matter if these tests are for medicinal purposes or cosmetic purposes. It is estimated that 25 million animals are used for testing and research per year. These animals have no way to tell the scientists conducting tests on them to stop, or that they are hurting and they can’t take the pain anymore. These animals are innocent and have done nothing to deserve the torture they go through while they endure these countless experiments. An alternative for testing on these animals could be to test on criminals. While the US accounts …show more content…

The rest, however, will be in a dark, unsanitary cell until the day they die. If the criminals who were not ever going to be able to leave jail were used for testing, less innocent animals would die. These criminals would be able to repay their debt to society by offering themselves to be used for testing. Many people would consider this as “cruel and unusual punishment”, but if the animals that are tested on never have done anything to deserve it then that’s cruel for them to be tested on. The criminals who won’t get out most likely committed murder, major theft, committed an act of rape or something else that they are guilty of and deserve a punishment other than just sitting in a cell everyday, or dying by the electric chair or a lethal injection. Those “punishments” aren’t helpful to anybody and they won’t get us anywhere by continuing to use them. It’s obvious that we won’t be able to cover the 25 million animals with the few thousand prisoners that are on death row or are sentenced to life, but every major change has started with a small act to set it in

Animal testing is cruel and uncalled for, all animals deserve to live a long painless life and should not be tested upon. Companies test any animal they can get there hands on dogs, cats, mice, rats, reptiles, even monkeys. They put the animals in a cage with no holes no bars and “...they expose them with deadly chemicals the animals are forced to breathe in, or they put the animal in a restraint device, sometimes they even drill holes into their skull...” www.peta.org says. These animals they test never get to see the light of day or breath fresh air they sit and stay having no choice but to take the abuse. Abuse that they shouldn’t have to face cause they did nothing wrong infact it was the people who did wrong.

Animal testing is the inhumane act of using conscious, innocent animals to test products without care of what the aftermath may be. According to PETA, the largest animal rights organization in the world, more than 100 million animals are slaughtered in U.S. laboratories every year. Those who have the heart to inflict this type of brutality do this by immobilizing them in restraint devices for hours, in order to drill holes into their skulls and have their spinal cords crushed (PETA). Along with the physical atrocities that humans are forcing these vulnerable animals into, humans are also isolating them from their own kind, confining them in barren cages, and thus traumatizing them for the rest of their lives. Those who possess an ounce of compassion

While testing on death row inmates is certainly a controversial issues, I believe the benefits outweigh the moral issues of testing on humans. Death row inmates have lost any rights they previously had because of their criminal actions. These inmates could serve the greater good by helping researchers develop cures for diseases which kill thousands of Americans each year. The innocent animals would be spared from the unknown effects of medical testing. In addition, testing on humans would be more accurate and also faster than testing new treatments on animals.

Animal Testing: Animals Deserve Love Not Pain Cries of pain echo around the room. Animals shoved in cages much too small for them to even cower in the corners are everywhere. It is quite obvious that not one of them has ever left the room they remain in now. One glance around the room is enough to tell that these animals have never been treated like the typical house pet. Yet at the same time, they look a lot like the neighbor’s dog, or a house cat.

Animals are beat and treated like trash during experiments. They do not deserve this pain they do not know what is going on while it is happening, but we do. It is cruel and unjust.

The tests usually do not work with the animals so they are either killed or set back into nature. It is very rare for animals to get set back into nature but if it does happen then the chemicals from the tests can cause problems for them in the wild. For example the animals would not know how to hunt, protect itself from predators, and/or repopulate. In the 1950s, a sleeping pill named Thalidomide was tested on pregnant mice, rats, cats and more had shown that there were no birth defects unless the drug was being used at an extremely high doses.

Even though some people strongly disagree, I don’t think it is worth torturing all of these innocent creatures. This is because the animals are much different from humans which result in, wasting of money, and torturing. The first reason is the inhumanness of the animal testing. Most creatures go through pain and suffering at the hands of researchers during experimentation. The animals are poked, deprived of basic needs, burned, infected with fatal diseases, isolated in the dark, addicted to drugs, poisoned, burned and brain damaged all in the name of science.

Animals and humans are alike in a way they both have feelings, think, behave, and experience pain. Animals are subjected to tests that are often painful or cause permanent damage or death, and they are never given the option of not participating in the experiment. ” 95% of animals used in experiments are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act. The AWA covered 820,812 animals used for testing in fiscal year 2016, which leaves around 25 million other animals that are not covered” (Animal testing procon.org). This means that these animals are especially vulnerable to mistreatment and abuse without the protection of the AWA.
