Animal Testing Is Wrong And Inhumane

Imagine being scared for your life everyday, not understanding why all day long needles are being stuck in you, or even being shoved into a small space with hundreds of other animals from the same species. People should not test on animals because animal tests are mortally wrong and inhumane, it can permanently injure, and ultimately animal testing can kill. Testing on animals is like testing on your baby sister, it is wrong and inhumane. “But precisely because our way of life depends on exploiting them, animals don’t really have any significant “rights” in America, although Congress passed the Humane Methods of Slaughter Action of 1958 (Motavalli 26).” Animals in America should have just as many rights as humans, the Human Methods of
As Jim Motavalli questions in the article “Rights from Wrongs”, “Does a pig packed in a tiny factory cage waiting to be killed have any rights in America? And what about the chimpanzee, which shares 99% of its active DNA with humans (Motavalli 26)?” Scientists are permanently harming these animals and don’t even mind. Scientists must realize that these chimpanzees and other primates may be close to us in DNA, however we should not be using them in this way that could permanently injure them. “In the U.S. more than 100 million animals are tortured due to animal experimentation practices- classified as any testing that is likely to induce pain or suffering among creatures (Yashiki n.p.).” This pain could not only hurt them physically but also emotionally, no animal is going to want to live after being abused like the way they are in labs. Jen Yashiki claims in her article “Animals Do Not Need to be Harmed for Better Products” that some scientists have been studying ways to use human tissues instead of closely related animals for more accurate tests (Yashiki n.p.). There are better things to solve the animal testing problem then hurting innocent creatures permanently. Not only does animal testing hurt the animals they use, but it could ultimately kill them. Most often primates are used for nor logical testing which is testing on the brain (Jeory n.p.). Testing on the brain is highly dangerous and most likely ends in failure and the blood of innocent creatures in on the scientist's hands. Testing on animals is a highly dangerous game to play and sadly most companies do not care how many they kill before finding a combination of their product that actually
