Everyday people are using products not knowing who, what, where, why or how these products are being made from. Many companies are neglecting the use of animal experimentation by the fact that there are alternative ways to test their products without testing them on animals. If alternative methods have been discovered that are more humane and effective, why aren’t companies using them? By using alternative methods to animal testing, products and some medicines would be cheaper and more reliable to
Specifically, animal testing is a form of animal abuse and usually ends in death of a harmless animal. Some might say that there is no other way to test products, but due to the harm that is done and our advancements in science, animal testing should not be tolerated. Our advancements in science have enabled us to create other things that we can test on, instead of harming innocent animals. Since experiments are cruel and expensive, “the world’s most forward-thinking scientists have moved on to develop and

decapitation. Animal testing is inhumane because most experiments inflict pain to the animal when there are other, more humane alternatives, like in vitro and microfluidic chips. Most people believe that animal testing is essential for medicine and science to advance. However, this is not the case. The idea that scientists must experiment on animals is being disputed by a growing number of physicians and scientists who are exploiting many research devices that do not harm or kill animals. Physicians
There are laws to protect animals, it is called the Animal Welfare Act. Under the Animal Welfare Act, it states that in laboratories animals can be burned, poisoned, starved, restricted, shocked, brain damaged and even addicted to drugs (“Bad Science”). During these experiments pain relievers are not enforced, even during the most painful experiments, and usually are not ever used. About ninety-nine percent of animals used in experiments are not included in the Act; like birds, mice, rats and
“Over 1 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in U.S. labs” according to DoSomething.org. And although these animals may be considered protected under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) they are still able to be tortured and mistreated in labs. On top of all this, there is absolutely no guarantee that results and data collected from these procedures are accurate. Our anatomic builds are similar in ways but not at all interchangeable. Even though it has saved lives, animal experimentation
People believe that animal experimentation can be cruel and disgusting, but it is a very helpful task that needs to be done to test the outcomes of various medications. The history of animal testing dates back to the Greeks in the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C., with Aristotle and Erasistratus, who were among the first to preform experiments on living animals. It is estimated that more than 14 million rats and mice and 1.4 million other kinds of mammals are used in research each year. These experiments

Throughout history, animals have been used in experiments to test product safety and obtain medical knowledge that benefits both humans and animals alike. Every year there are numerous medical breakthroughs, such as medications and surgical instruments, which are tested on animals to insure their safety before they are deemed acceptable for human use. Even though the results of the experiments saved millions of human lives, they are also killing millions of innocent animal lives in the process
Animal Testing How would you like it if you were drugged, poisoned, burned, maimed, and internally or externally damaged to a point where you could no longer function? Animals face these brutal events every day during animal testing. Animal testing is experimental procedures done on animals such as mice, fish, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, farm animals, birds, cats, dogs, mini-pigs, monkeys, and chimpanzees. These procedures can be used to find out if products are safe to use or for the
The Life of Nelle Harper Lee On April 28, 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama, Nelle Harper Lee was born to Amasa Coleman Lee and Frances Finch Lee. Along with her siblings, Alice, Louise, and Edwin, Harper was educated in Monroeville Public Schools before going on to attend Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama. After a year at Huntingdon, Lee decided to follow in the footsteps of her father and began studying law at the University of Alabama in 1945 [2]. She left there to study abroad at Oxford

Even though there are disadvantages and disagreement in using of animal experiment, there is also some evidences show that animal experiment is inevitable for the future progress, and the human beings would not have greater life quality without animal testing. According to Ian Murnaghan’ articles, “Organizations Against Animal Testing,” “Using Animals for Testing: Pros Versus Cons,” and “Replacing Animal Tests with Stem Cells.” He believes that animal testing should not
and strongly against animal rights. The abuse that animals are forced through cannot be justified when an animal is unable to sign it’s life away for testing. Millions of animals are murdered or left debilitated because of something against their own will. The experiments are severely graphic and painful, even for the smallest of tests. “Huntingdon Life Sciences is one of Europe 's biggest testers of animals. They kill approximately 75,000 animals each year, with 87 percent of these animals being
dependent on animal testing but he does not lay out anything to back that up. What is so evident about the dependability on animal testing for medical advancements? Because in my opinion, it is evident to me that if we are able to make such strides in science and technology, including medical technology, then scientists should be able to come up with some way of replacing animals in experimentation. This view can also come in as a response to Taylor’s claim that scientific evidence suggests that the accusations
“If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal that hasn't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead. So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a bunny rabbit's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson's eyes and ask him if it hurts.” (DeGeneres, DG). Think about those animals imprisoned in cold cages, having nothing to do but wait, waiting in fear, knowing that when the time comes their cages will be opened, but not to set them

peace education, the skills, knowledge, and attitudes it aims to develop, and how it relates to the general peace movement. Peace research began as a response to World War II and the publics concern about a nuclear war. It started as a social science that looked at the problems of war in a systematic way as well as the quest for peace. These studies began in France at the Insititute Francais de Polaemologie and in a few graduate programs in the United States, such as Stanford, Northwestern and
