Background Information
Animals are used in scientific studies to receive data for researchers
Animal testing is inaccurate, a waste of time and money, and extremely inhumane. So, why do we continue to do it? First of all, it's inhumane and the results are often inaccurate. It also takes unnecessary time and money. It causes innocent animals to be lonely, fearful and in extreme pain. While some believe testing on animals finds us cures and helps save lives, that is incorrect, we have been able to cure cancer in mice for decades, yet people still die from it. This just proves that it is sadistic…

Stanford University. Animal testing is an experimentation carried out on animals. Animal experimentation is used to advance scientific understanding, develop and test potential form of treatments and medication, and is also used as models to study diseases. Animal testing is definitely unnecessary because it is cruel and inhumane, extremely expensive, and inaccurate science. First of all animal testing is completely unnecessary because it is cruel and inhumane. Animal testing is killing over 100…

Animal Testing Should Not be Legal Francis S. Collins warns his readers, that every year more than 100 million animals die because they are forced into animal testing. He describes how they are brutally killed in various ways in U.S. laboratories for biology and medical, chemical, food and cosmetic testing and experimentation. The testing of animals for various reasons is not very wrong and should not be allowed. Animal testing should not be legal because it is expensive, it provides unreliable results…

Animal experimentation is one way to test products and different medicines before it is used on humans. People continue to believe that these animals are improving research and making an impact on the tests being performed and the information that is being gathered from it. Animal experimentation can be extremely harmful and have a major effect on the animals’ lives. Animals go through an extreme amount of physical and mental pain because of the research of scientists. Animal experimentation is…

the Humane Society of the US found 338 possible violations of the Animal Welfare Act? Animal testing is cruel and inhumane because they are living things too and shouldn’t be treated so badly. Animal testing affects others by testing medications and even makeup on animals to make sure it’s safe for human use. Heartless doctors inject animals to see what happens, if it’s not safe for an animal it’s safe for us, in most cases. Animals are different from humans so results can always be incorrect. In…

Animal Testing or Animal Cruelty? It’s a fact that there are situations in which animal research is highly regulated, with laws in place to protect animals from mistreatment, The Animal Welfare Act does not cover rats, mice, fish, and birds, which comprise around 95% of the animals tested. After three dogs were forced to ingest an ibuprofen test substance every day for five days at Charles River Laboratories, they experienced vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, dehydration, and other severe symptoms…

Should animal testing for cosmetic be banned? 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 weaken 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. The stress, infertility and boredom causes some animals to develop anxious behaviours…

Each year, millions of animals endure unnecessary and painful tests. Animals in labs around the world suffer through pain, torture, isolation, and deprivation. Although ample studies of animal experimentation are often invalid, we still continue to use this form of experimentation. These methods of animal experimentation are also prohibiting medical advances from devoloping. Although the use of animals in laboratories is thought to take a vital role in the welfare and health of humans, people mistakenly…

In hopes of progressing in medical and psychological advancements, eliminating animal testing, and possibly space exploration, my team has come up with G.E.D.S. A form of artificial intelligence with motor skills, the ability to communicate, voice recognition, sensory/organ replication, and psychological status detection. In our modern day world, unethical human experimentation is illegal. And while it is in everyone’s interest, further progress is delayed. But what if there was a moral way to test…

5 August 2014 Animal Testing: How long is enough? Time and time again the helpless mice are tortured, and forced to inhale toxic fumes. They’re thrown into barren cages with probably over twenty other mice; cramped, they begin to attack each other or take their own lives due to the high level of stress. Animal testing has been going on for centuries, but how long is enough? These animals are treated like nothing more than just disposable laboratory equipment and each year, over 100 million animals die in US…
