Using Animals for Research

Using Animals for Scientific Research should be banned
Have you ever thought that the pet you loved and you care so much, could have been suffering from pain and massacre in a laboratory for scientific research? sadly that is true and more than 100 million animals including dogs, cats, monkeys, fish, birds, rabbits and hamsters are killed in laboratories for chemical, frog, food and cosmetics testing. Nowadays scientist use animals for scientific research, in my opinion using animals for scientific research should be banned because it is inhumane, they don’t have anything in common with us, and the humans can find other resources to experiment with.
Former UK Home Office minister Joan Ryan. Said: “Animal research and testing has played a part in almost every medical breakthrough of the last century. It has saved hundreds of millions of lives worldwide...” –First of all, using animals for researching is inhumane because the animals are beings living and they have their own feelings. A person for the Ethical Treatment of Animals PETA says “On top of the deprivation, there are the experiments. U.S. law allows 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.”.[Animals]. Moreover they experiment pain as us.They are treated cruelly for research. I think that humans as animals are just as important as each other, as a result they don’t deserve death four our fault. Another reason is that they don’t have anything in common whit the humans. The animals are different from humans in many aspects. They don’t have the same diseases, also they are not same biologically, so when the Scientifics work with them and try new methods; for example, in medicine, the reaction that they have is going to be similar but not the same; According whit the FDA U.S Food and Drug Administration saying: “The FDA reported that 92 out of every 100 drugs that successfully pass animals trials and go into human clinical testing fail during the human clinical trial phase.” [Drugs]. Therefore that means, when the medicine is “ready” to sale in the market, the first human who buy and try the medicine is exposed and have the same risk that the animal did.
Finally, through science development, there are other alternatives instead of animal testing. A good medical research may be performed with no use of live animals or cause them unnecessary suffering if it can be avoided. Also replacement could be a perfect option, because that means replacing 'higher' animals with 'lower' animals. Microorganisms, plants, eggs, reptiles, amphibians.
As you cans see they are a lot of reasons to banner this massacre, the animal’s needs to be loved and cared for us, not abused the funny part is that if you ask why scientists experiment with animals, and will answer, “Because they are like us." If you ask them why it is morally right to experiment on animals and reply: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.
