Animal Testing
Every single year in the United States millions of innocent animals die due to animal testing. Animal testing really should be called animal cruelty or animal abuse because the animals are burned, crippled, isolated and traumatized by these tests. It is not okay to do such in humane things to poor, innocent animals that have no way to stand up for themselves, therefore we have to speak up for them.
Animals are tested on to make sure products or medications are safe for us humans to use. The tests they do on these animals are absolutely awful though. “The animals are deprived from everything natural or important to them” (People for the…), they are confined to barren cages, their skin is burned off, they are forced …show more content…
“Animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments” (Animal Testing…) and there is no alternative to testing on a whole body system. Animal testing doesn’t just help humans though, it also helps other animals. Domestic animals like dogs and cats need vaccinations like us so animal testing makes sure those are safe to use.
The cons outweigh the pros. As well as being physically abused, they are mentally and emotionally abused as well. “Most [animals] never experience fresh air or sunshine, only bars and concrete” (Animal Testing…), causing the animals to have severe stress. Some animals like mice are capable of empathy and they become more stressed when they see other mice in distress. These awful tests are the cause of many animals becoming psychologically traumatized.
So many well-known companies test their products on animals and when we buy those products, it just gives them more money to test on more animals. Some of those companies include Maybelline, L’Oreal, Vaseline, Chapstick and there are many more. We do not need to test these products on animals because there are alternative solutions like computer models that can predict what will happen to the body when it uses the product, fake skin that reacts like actual skin, simulation patients, and some people even volunteer to be tested
