Animal Testing Is Inhumane

Why is it okay to harm a defenseless, innocent, voiceless little animal? Because in a way it benefits us? When did that ever become okay? It’s not, and it never will be. Animal Testing is proof that humans will do anything to ensure their safety even though it means they have to hurt another. Poor defenseless animals fight for their lives every day to test out products they have no use for. These poor sweet creatures have been taken away their right to live to be caged and mistreated and they can’t do anything but sit there and take it. Day to day, more and more animals are dying at the cruel hands of these scientists. Animal Testing is an act of animal cruelty, because it is inhumane, there are other methods that can be used to avoid harming
Most of the animals in captivity have never seen sunlight, all they have known are steel cages and concrete. What happens in those laboratories have no limits unless said by the faculty itself. They will starve these animals for days on end to get the result they want even if that means killing the animal. “They experience ongoing mental and physical suffering from the endless boredom, confinement, fear, and emotional stress of daily laboratory life. Add to this the fear and agony of a procedure, and only then can we start to understand the desperation and pain in which they live, every day—and for most, for their entire lives.” ("Harm and Suffering | Animal Use in Research." Harm and Suffering | Animal Use in Research. Web. 12 Nov. 2015.) The Animal used in these researches can range from Guinea Pigs to Monkeys. These are the amount of each of these animals that were tested and killed in
They endure endless torture and malnourishment. “ On top of the deprivation, there are the experiments. U.S. law allow animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, drowned, addicted to drugs, and brain-damaged. No experiment, no matter how painful or trivial, is prohibited – and pain-killers are not required. Even when alternatives to the use of animals are available, the law does not require that they be used—and often they aren’t.” (Cruelty to Animals in Laboratories." PETA. PETA. Web. 29 Oct. 2015.) These animals receive no love, no compassion ever in their lives. All they know is hate and cruelty and our law allows these inhumane people to walk freely in their day, and make a profit from this slaughter. Methods exist that can make it so no Animals are no longer harmed in this process. Animal Testing is also more expensive than these other outlets and are a waste of the government dollars. “The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported in 2010 that 97,123 animals suffered pain during experiments while being given no anesthesia for relief, including 1,395 primates, 5,996 rabbits, 33,652 guinea pigs, and 48,015 hamsters.” ("Animal Testing - ProCon.org." ProConorg Headlines. Web. 13 Nov. 2015.) Extensive and Unnecessary murders is what “Animal Testing” should be called. No Animal should have to suffer this life just for being born. One should always be merciful to one of nature's
