Introduction Administering different types of drugs, infecting innocent and defenseless animals with diseases, poisoning, implantations, and causing brain damage are just some of the elements of what animal experimentation truly is. Cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and personal care products are only a small fraction of the many products used frequently by people that are tested regularly on animals for research-based and scientific studies. Although some may be completely unaware of, we use a…
Animal research has been in use for a long time as part of experiments conducted to assure the safe use of medicine, food, cosmetics, and among other products. Animals have repeatedly been used through the history of biomedical research. It is considered that Aristotle and Erasistratus were among the first scholars to perform experiments on living animals. As the experimentation on animals increased, so did criticism and controversy. It has been an important issue for many years because it…
Animal Experimentation needed in the 21ST Century? Imagine if you were in a cage, imprisoned with no way out. You’re hungry, apathetic, and in pain but you’re only allowed to eat whenever they want you to eat, you’re only allowed to get out whenever they need you, and instead of alleviating your pain they increase it. They’ve drugged you, dissected you, and tested on you without even asking for your consent. Did you do something wrong? Was it your destiny to be trapped and used for the benefit…
unhealthy people have been helped indirectly by animal testing. However, animal testing is beneficial for human only and not for the animals used. Most of the animals which give great contribution to the health of world's dwellers are cruelly slaughtered during experiments and not well treated in drug-development laboratories. Animals, like human, also have rights to be freed from suffering and treated well. We, as human beings, must understand that animals are also living beings which feelings…
Controversies of Animal Testing The necessity and morality of animal testing are among the most common topics discussed today.

On the other hand, scientists discovered that animals are not always good test subjects due to the vast differences in both their…
terrifying. There are many questions about animal testing. Is it right? Is it wrong? If major companies have been doing it for years, it can’t be that bad. Little does anyone realize, there is another way we could conduct tests that do not harm animals in the slightest. No animals should be tested on because although a few studies have shown to help humans, the tests are very harmful to animals when there are other ways to test products. Should animals be used for…
Saving the Malabar Hornbill Introduction: As man continues to extend his developmental practices, nature bears the brunt of it silently. Every year thousands of organisms are wiped from the face of earth permanently. The numbers on the almost extinct list goes on increasing too. To blame man alone for it would be the answer to all the problems, but to try to understand how his activities are harming them seems like a more viable option. The Western Ghats of India is teeming with both flora and…
2017 Why Animal Testing is Wasteful In the past 100 years, the California Biomedical Research Association says, almost all medical developments are a denouement of testing that involves animals (“Animal Testing”). And, although this may be true, the question still remains: was (and is) there any alternative to testing of this nature and is it morally right to use animals in testing? To delve into this issue, one must analyze the logistics of research using animals and the awareness of animals…
