Animal Testing: Is it Really Necessary? Every year more than 100 millions animals die due to animal testing‚ but many medical breakthroughs that have been discovered through animal experimentation include penicillin‚ blood transfusions‚ insulin‚ and many others. Which should we value above the other? Some simply see black and white to this problem‚ which one is right and which one is wrong. But others see shades of gray‚ as to some attributes of one side are okay‚ while the other one is not. Animal

Animals can’t speak for themselves. They can’t tell you when something hurts them. So why do animal testing? Here are some reasons why animal testing is not good. The first reason animal testing is not good‚ is that it harms animals. According to Ian Murna‚ after research the animals are killed. Animal testing gets animals sick. It gets animals sick because some of the drugs that the scientists use for animals may not be healthy for them (Animal testing 101). The world is so nervous about animals

Animal testing can prevent humans from becoming ill or hurt. The companies won’t send out something until it shows no harm to the animal‚ that’s when it proves safe. But at what cost? They are hurting animals so that humans won’t get hurt. In some ways that might be considered heroic‚ but it isn’t fair to the animals. They don’t deserve to be hurt. Animal testing is cruel. There are alternatives to animal testing. One way is artificial human skin. It produces better results and is safer. It is made

humans use animals for testing each year. Animal testing is when the animals are put through something or injected to see how they react to what medical research they have been used for. It’s impossible to know exactly how many animals are being used in research because U.S. laws do not require scientists to report how many mice‚ rats‚ or birds they use‚ but it’s estimated that 90% of lab animals are mice and rats. It’s crucial that everyone know why animals should not be used for testing of harmful

Animals are used to develop medical treatments‚ determine the toxicity of medications‚ and check the safety of products destined for human use. Animals that are used to test medical treatments or other scientific tests most of the time don’t survive‚ for every hundred medications tested‚ 92% of them fail‚ and 50% of the animals that got

million animals are killed every year around the world for animal testing. This horrific number needs to be reduced. While there are not yet any adequate replacements for animal testing‚ it is unreliable‚ unfair and expensive. Animal testing is unreliable. For example‚ Dr. Richard Kluasher‚ the former director of the national cancer institute states that “ We have cured cancer in mice for decades and it simply didn’t work in humans”. This statement shows the unreliability of animal testing. Just because

Animal experimentation is a contentious issue‚ but it boils down to two essential questions: does it work‚ and is it ethical? The first is easy to answer: it works.

So why is animal testing unethical‚ well‚ without animals‚ life wouldn’t be possible. We would all go extinct because animals help our ecosystem.

Over 100 million animals are experimented on each year. That includes burning‚ cutting and poisoning them. Experimenting on innocent animals is very unethical because scientist are causing pain‚ loneliness‚ fear and death to over 100 million thinking and feeling animals just like us.
