*Squeeeek.* That’s the sound of an animal being tested. Over 115 million animals are tested each year! These 115 million animals go through terrible things that human do, and most die. What if you were a test animal? How do you you would feel if you were tortured every single day of your life? Many people have been debating whether animal testing should be banned or not. It is clear that overall, testing animals isn’t beneficial and should be illegal because, many drugs or experiments are useless and fail testings, doing this to animals is very harsh, and testing this way is wasteful.
First, many drugs or experiments are useless and fail testings. According to a PETA article, 92% of drugs that passed these tests fail when tried on humans. …show more content…
It is estimated that more than 115 million animals in the world, are used in experiments every year. Further into this, more than 100 million of these animals die. The remaining amount that aren’t dead, are usually severely hurt, or close to death (Humane Society International.) This is terrible. A live animal is suffering a life of pain, loneliness, and terror almost all of them are killed (Peta.) According to a researcher at Peta, many scientists can perform these tests easily. “They don’t understand what they’re really doing to these animals” says the Peta team. Some things that are done to animals are, starving, injecting poisonous substances, forced toxicity exposure, and neck breaking (Humane Society International.) These are just some of the things done. If you were one of these scientists would you do …show more content…
More than 12 billion dollars in tax money, is wasted each year on animal testing. In other words, part of tax payments include animal testing fees. This is a waste due to all this money being used for no reason (Peta.) You may be asking why there isn’t a reason. Animal testing is a choice of scientists. There are many alternatives, besides pure cruelty to animals. Some of these alternatives include: computer models and simulations, stem cell and genetic testing methods, imaging techniques such as MRIs and CT Scans, and microdosing humans (Neavs.) There are so many more! Yet, people in the world choose poor little creatures to torture. Lastly, many resources are being wasted on tests that most likely won’t work. In order to test, you need containers, cages, a test area that can handle toxins, and a lot of equipment (Peta.) So, what’s the point if most tests don’t work? Why not try the alternatives for
