Should Animal Testing Be Illegal?
Animal testing is the experimentation of products or medicine on animals. Sometimes it works, and the experiment does not harm the animal, but when it fails what happens? The animals get severe injuries and some extreme products can even lead to death. Animal testing has been going on for a long time and it is believed that it started in the 2nd and 4th centuries BC. So, should it stop now? Should animal testing be illegal?
Global Perspectives
In the UK, scientists were warned by the research agencies to improve the way they use animals for experiments. There were many poorly designed projects reported recently that produced useless results and that wasted the lives of many animals. Researchers say that a meaningless experiment is a waste …show more content…
It is cruel and inhumane to test different substances on animals and hope for the best. But if the animal is unlucky and the experiment fails, who pays for the wasted lives and resources? I understand that producers want to constantly develop their production and that there may be no better alternative, but many brands found ways to replace animal testing with other methods. Elmiplant uses other personal techniques to develop their products and save lives in the same time. They use their specialized equipment and professional chemists to test different substances, without harming anyone. In addition, animal testing can be very unreliable and therefore have massive negative impacts on humans. Animals are similar in many ways to the human body, but in the same time, they are very different. Many people died or were harmed as the specific products didn’t show any negative reactions on the animals but turned to be very catastrophic to the human body. I don’t believe that animals should be sacrificed for the sake of innovation as they, as any creature on Earth, have the right to live and the right to freedom. I am and will always be against animal …show more content…
Maybe animal testing cannot disappear overnight but, there are certainly ways in which we can reduce it. Persuading companies to use less harsh chemicals in their products is the major method. If they use less chemicals, the harm done to the animals experimented on will decrease massively. Also, the only reason that humans would suffer more harshly by testing products first hand would be because of harsh chemicals used in most of the products. If people cannot be convinced to buy less harmful products, the governments can intervene. They can offer tax breaks for the companies who reduce the amounts of harmful chemicals used. If more natural products are manufactured, the environment will be more eco-friendly as we will be having less toxins going throughout our society. Many scientists nowadays test chemicals using sophisticated tests using human cells and tissues, advanced computer-modeling and studies with human
