Corporations and businesses poison and kill animals for cosmetics, household products, and drugs just to obtain a profit and revenue. There currently is no legislation in the U.S. that necessitate that these materials be analyzed on animals, and there are many effective, humane testing methods available that could be used instead. There’s hardly any legal protection for animals who are used in experiments because the AWA, Animal Welfare Act, doesn't protect animals from being tested on. No experiment, no matter how painful or pointless to the animal, is against the law, and painkillers are not enforced. Because of the fact that animal testing or experimentation is dangerous, expensive, inhumane, possibly inaccurate, and there are other better …show more content…
Animals do not get many illnesses that humans get, for example, major types of heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s disease, or schizophrenia. Alternately, indications of these conditions are synthetically activated in laboratory animals in an attempt to imitate the humanistic disease. Yet, according to crueltyfreeinternational.org, “...such experiments belittle the complexity of human conditions which are affected by wide-ranging variables such as genetics, socio-economic factors, deeply-rooted psychological issues and different personal experiences” (https://www.crueltyfree international.org/why-we-do-it/arguments-against-animal-testing). This basically means that the majority of these tests are inaccurate. Mice and other animals that are tested for commercial or cosmetic experiential use are not people, therefore not always coming out with a reliable source of information. Animal experimentation is simply undependable and can possibly harm humans, even when the purpose of animal testing is to protect humans from damage. Furthermore, blog.udemy.com proves that “...some drugs that work wonders for humans (such as aspirin) can prove deadly to animals, so something that doesn’t work in animal testing might have been a huge medical breakthrough for mankind” (https://blog.udemy.com/animal-testing- cons/). When testing on animals, there’s a great chance that when they react negatively to a drug or product, it does not necessarily mean that it would have those effects on humans. This also means that there’s a chance that a drug that was proven deadly to animals could have been a life-saving cure for some uncured illness today. Moreover, animal testing is simply inhumane. An animal test is any scientific analyzation or experiment in which an alive and healthy animal is constrained and forced to
