Animals in Medical Testing “Animal experiments remove 36% of the potential drugs from moving onto the next stage.”(Understanding Animal Testing) Animal testing removes all of these potentially harmful drugs from testing. This allows scientists to spend more time on possible cures for diseases. While many people oppose animal testing with the arguments that it is inhumane and doesn’t do much good, statistics show that animal testing has made the world a much safer place for people with diseases that were deadly at one point in time. The testing is also done as humanely as possible and using the lowest number of animals as possible. Many people against animal testing are unaware that when animals are used for testing they are protected under federal law. Labs are tested extensively and research protocols are reviewed regularly. An article from the National Institutes of Health states that only experiments necessary to people’s health are done and the research is done with the minimal number of test subjects possible. All of the animals are treated “humanely and undergo the least distress possible”. The facilities do a lot of research to find which animal would be best for the…
Innocent animals are dying every day from not needed animal research. Over 26 million animals yearly are tested in the United States. (Animal-Testing) The pain, stress, and simply put ABUSE that they endure is inhumane. There are many ways that we can discover new products and cures without using innocent animals. As a United States American, I feel that we need to make a change for the better and STOP the abuse of these animals. When doing research on animals it has been said to be a…
rabbits. Yet he is the lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.” (George Orwell, Animal Farm) Humans consume many different animals, but don’t know the animals that they have eaten may have come from a bad source. Just so the farmers can get more money, the farm animals are forced to get treated poorly and might contain harmful bacteria when consumed by humans. Farm animal abuse…
Today and for dozens of years before, animals have been used to test cosmetics, household cleaners, and hygiene products. Is this considered animals abuse? Animal abuse is defined as, “The human infliction of suffering or harm upon any non-human animal, for purposes other than self-defense or survival” (dictionary.com). Animals used for experimentation is abuse. There is no logical reasoning for using innocent animals such as, mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, primates, and others that are locked…
Simmons Ms. Farley English 110 31 March 2018 Title Animals are used for research to find out the effects out of products. It is difficult to replace animal testing with alternative ways right away. There are still several areas of research where animal testing is necessary and where are alternative ways to test out products are not valid. When animals are tested, they are tested to determine the safety of a product such as drugs, vaccines, medical products, and other products. The focus of…
the world of C.S Lewis’ Narnia are both filled with an immense number of fantastic creatures. In case of Rowling, many of these creatures are mythical animals-- centaurs, hippogriffs, goblins and unicorns to name a few- while Lewis mainly chooses to add mythical abilities to every-day animals. His Narnia consists of talking beavers, lions, and of course a few mythical animals such as fauns. Both worlds involve interaction between the non-human animals and the humans, as well as the non-human…
of entertainment, it is still not right to hold animals in captivity. In the mid-1830s. Brown Purdy came down from New York where he met an animal dealer named Hachaliah Bailey that obtained a baby African elephant, which he exhibited around the country with great success. Instantly the adding of other exotic animals led to the formation of a fide bona traveling menagerie. It was proven that trainers know what these exotic animals are afraid of and use them against them to force them to do…

treated. Zoos and circus’ all have animals that are treated alike, or some might be worse. Both of the industries have the animals stuck in cages, barely fed enough, and unable to have the social life they are meant to have. There are some differences in zoos and circus’ for example; in the circus industry, elephants are chained up for, “12-23 hours per day when not performing”(Lossa, 134), but rarely ever are they chained up in zoos. Everyone has different opinions on zoos and circus’ about…
Millions of animals are being imprisoned in cages waiting on the next experiment to be performed; these animals are the victims of animal testing. Animal testing is the use of animals in scientific procedures to discover if certain substances are safe for humans. Of the one hundred million animals that are tested on each year, the diversity of the species ranges from frogs to monkeys. The individuals for animal testing approve of what occurs inside the laboratories, and those against animal…
