Animal Research has been around for nearly 90 years and continues to show success as time moves along. For those who believe that history will repeat itself‚ they believe that animal testing has shown and will continue to show succes‚ but for those who believe in alternatives‚ they believe it should come to an end. Throughout this paper‚ I will argue the claims people make against animal testing. The most popular claim against animal testing is none other than the fact that it kills animals. Peta

Though there is a growing case against animal testing‚ there are those who fully stand behind it. Their arguments defending the concept are most often centered around ethics of testing. For starters‚ the FDA mandates that all drugs go through a series of tests‚ most often on animals‚ before they are allowed to be released to the public for consumption (Ericson‚ 2014‚ a). With these laws in place‚ people claim that animal testing must continue to be accepted so that new drug developments can continue

Animals are the primary test subjects for experimental research being performed in the scientific field around the world today. Despite the widespread use of animal testing‚ the issue remains a thriving debate formed on the argument of morality over practicality and function. Many proponents of animal testing argue that the research performed on these test subjects has led to medical breakthroughs that would still be a mystery today without the use of animals as testing subjects. Proponents correlate

million animals annually” (naevs.org) The biggest argument in defense of animal testing is that although they would prefer not to use animals‚ their isn’t any other viable options. And this claim might have been true‚ many years ago. In this day in age‚ scientist have developed far more humane research methods to replace animal testing. Human simulators‚ for instance are more accurate than animals. Another argument you can make is that testing an animal is far more humane than testing an actual

Animal Testing Animal testing is a very controversial practice‚ involving the testing of new substances on animals to see how safe they will be for human use. (Vasen‚ 2011) Research has uncovered many cures for deathly diseases through animal testing. For over 2000 years cures for diseases such as Herpes‚ Hepatitis B‚ Rabies‚ Malaria‚ Polio and other such viruses have been created‚ through the use of testing the chemicals on animals such as mice‚ rabbits‚ cats‚ dogs or monkeys.

than 100 million animals are killed every year for commercial and scientific testing just in the United States alone! Animal testing is appalling. It is so sad that animals don’t get to live in their natural habitat and have to be pinned up their entire life. So many animals are used for animal testing such as‚ mice‚ rats‚ frogs‚ dogs‚ cats‚ rabbits‚ hamsters‚ guinea pigs‚ monkeys‚ fish‚ and birds. All of these animals have to be crammed in cages for weeks on end. Animal testing should not be allowed

million animals are killed in lab for product testing. Now a days‚ scientists are using animals for their research and testings‚ and I disagree with the use of animals. It is unfair to animals because in the end it kills them‚ it may not actually work on humans‚ and the cost of it. I am against the use of animals for product testing for a lot of reasons. I am against using animals because I think it is cruel to animals because if it a test went wrong then then it could cause a harmless animal to

Animal Testing‚ BAD IDEA Animal testing is the running of tests and the research done in a laboratory on animals. Some of the tests are done to benefit human lives and other tests are done to determine side effects of a certain household or cosmetic products. It is a topic that has been up for debate for many years. Not only in the United States but all around the world as well. While some support the advances that come from the research others oppose the cruelty that the media projects to society
