Recommended: Advantages and disadvantages of animal experiments

Imagine, being a hospital patient for your entire life. Instead of being treated and taken care of you are being deliberately harmed. You are completely defenseless. Every day you experience discomfort, pain and stress. Never to see sunlight and you are completely deprived of the world. Spending your days locked inside of gray, dingy walls with absolutely nothing to do. This describes the life of an animal in a testing laboratory. It is a horrid life to live. Twenty-five million animals endure this testing each year, and 90% of them are rats, mice, and birds. The other 10% of tested animals include dogs, cats, chimpanzees, ferrets, rabbits, pigs, sheep, and many other animals. That is a lot of animals, and believe it or not the neglect that they are undergoing is lawful. Animal testing is absolutely brutal and should not be legal!
There are a number of tests that animals are put through that bring them excruciating pain and may kill them. Some tests include drug or medicine testing, infecting with sickness, burning skin, blinding, and many other brutal procedures. Experiments may involve testing the level of toxins in a substance, so scientists will give animals a daily dose of the potentially lethal substance for up to two years. When the experiment is finished the analysts are allowed to kill the surviving animals excluding chimpanzees. A few laboratories even attempt genetic modification by transplanting organs and cells from one animal to another. This leaves many animals suffering until they die from the dangerous surgery and unusual parts of their body. Some experiments test the animals mentally, not just physically. Many mental tests try to frustrate and confuse animals. Popular tests conducted on rodents are s...

...ngs about human and animal bodies like how our circulatory system functions. Animal testing has helped humans find treatments to prevent illness. Sometimes it is better for scientists to experiment on a living thing that can react rather than a technological system. Despite these facts I feel strongly that animal testing is pure abuse and is completely inhumane.
In conclusion, the cons of vivisection outweigh the pros. I would not let my pet endure this testing, and I have a feeling you would not either. The lives of tested animals are agonizing and monotonous. There is no reason to bring any living thing this much pain each and every day. Animals have the exact same right to live as humans do and we do not have the privilege to take that right away from them. Stand up and join the fight against animal testing. Together we can make analyzing animals illegal.
