animal testing
Testing on Animals Animal testing can date back to the Ancient times of the Greeks and the Romans. Animal testing and its ethics have always been questioned and some of us as humans do not want to consider animals being on the same level as us. Just because an animal is not capable of speaking to us does not mean they don’t have feelings or that we’re not on the same level. If an animal’s baby was taken away from the mother she would be sad and hurt as would a human mother. Animals do not deserve to be hurt or tortured because scientists want to test products on them to deem them safe for human use.
“Right now, millions of mice, rats, rabbits, primates, cats, dogs, and other animals are locked inside cold, barren cages in laboratories across the country. They languish in pain, ache with loneliness, and long to roam free and use their minds. Instead, all they can do is sit and wait in fear of the next terrifying and painful procedure that will be performed on them” (PETA)
PETA also states in Animal Testing 101 that these poor animals begin to develop neurotic behaviors which causes many of them to pull out their own fur or run around in circles, some even rock back and forth from the fear of the experiments. Eventually all of these animals die from the stress, diseases they develop, and from being experimented on just so a product can be tested on them. Although there are alternatives to animal testing, each year roughly 20 million animals will die from the harsh experiments. Of these 20 million animals most are killed to be used in class dissections, others are used to be tortured alive for psychological experiments in biology classes (PETA).
The pain and distress that animals used in research experience actually starts long before they enter a laboratory. These animals are purposely bred for research, kept in sterile environments with little attention, and are actually treated roughly for not being “cooperative (aavs). There is no need for people to choose
