He does convince me that there is an issue with us assuming things for the nonhumans because we do not know what they want. In order for us to have the luxuries we have today, for example, make-up and shampoo they needed to be tested before the products were official and ready for use. Singer cites two experiments and they are not very nice when they experiment on the animals. He
One lab costs around $36 million dollars, this money can be used for many purposes other than torturing animals for selfish reasons. One animal dies in a laboratory every second, in Japan only two seconds and in the UK every twelve seconds, if we add Canada to the list how many poor animals will be killed then? Not only does Vivi-section violate animal rights but it can also be misleading since animals don’t have the exact same DNA makeup. So why are we killing 100-300 million animals each year, and not just killing them torturing them while they are alive and getting inaccurate results? Vivi section is not right there are many alternatives to find Vivi-section, to find out about their internal make-up scientists could always experiment after natural death instead of killing the animal in such a cruel
We can not depend on the results of animal testing. Because animals and humans are different, the results of the animal tests might not apply to us. Just because one species reacts to a given drug or chemical in a particular way doesn't necessarily mean another species will respond the same way. Furthermore, animals kept in unnatural conditions, or animals in pain or distress, are not going to give consistent or accurate results anyway. One scholar mentions, “It is a flawed practice that has resulted in the needless suffering and deaths of millions of animals" (Festing 1).
Many people argue that it’s better to test on animals so that if anyone gets hurt it’s just an animal, not say, a father of two children. Animal testing is wrong and inhumane, but there are some instances where I would accept it as inevitable, for instance testing a drug to cure cancer. Testing a drug for something like cancer or stem cell research on an animal would be more tolerable. In some instances, we don’t have another way to test the effects of a particular
Drug manufacturers test medications on animals after they have been injected with viruses and diseases to see if the medications work on the animals. There are many companies who use animal research to test their products; unfortunately these organizations do not look for alternatives besides animal testing. If these atrocious acts were committed outside laboratories, they would be felonies. But animals suffer and die every day in laboratories with little or no protection from cruelty. It is immoral to
The states need to come up with strict laws that will cut numbers of animal abuse. The animals in the factories are getting treated terribly. “They call their revolution (animal rights), but the changes PETA has won for farmed animals, while numerous, are not victories for animal rights so much as for animal welfare: fewer animals per cage, better-regulated slaughter, less-cramped transport, and the like”(Unknown author). PETA stands up for animal welfare and want to raise awareness so they can pass new laws on how the animals are treated inside
How is it that humans can test on animals, while the animals feel everything that humans feel? It shouldn’t be okay to test on animals because they have the same pain tolerance as humans do. The testing on animals is dangerous and it is harming the animals; it is cruel to the animals by keeping the animals locked up in cages, humans use the animals for testing the products that the humans use for the use of humans only, and it is unfair to the animals by keeping them in the lab and not letting the animals run around. Humans shouldn’t be able to test on animals. The humans that say testing on animals helps the United States with the problems that are going on and make sure the product is safe to use so it can be tested on animals to see if it will harm the humans before the use.
They live not to be used by scientists for experimentation, but to stabilize the ecosystem. Therefore, animals should not be used in scientific experiments. Animals being used for scientific experimentation is cruel and inhumane as animals feel pain and fear just as humans do. Humans may think that they are not considered as animals, but humans are the largest populated animals in the animal kingdom. This indicates that humans and animals both have equal rights and responsibilities.
Some companies have a strong belief that animal testing is essential in order to make sure that consumers are protected during the use of their products. For the fact that we allow this to happen in our world is pathetic, and it all comes down to pure selfishness’, an ugly trait in which human’s possess. How can it be rational to take the life out of something because it can’t show or tell someone if they’re in agony? Over the years there have been numerous amounts of companies that have stood strong on not participating in animal cruelty; realistically it should be the only way. Humans are at fault here; before it’s too late we must realize that each living creature has a choice and should never be taken away by pure
Testing cosmetics on animals should be banned. Millions of animals are killed every year due to the tests that were done on them by cosmetic companies for their products. Instituting safety precaution for the end-users has been their major affair to conduct such tests on animals. In contrary, more reliable results has emerged tremendously via alternative test methods that are available which does not require animal testing for cosmetics that was found by the Food and Drug Administration. More humane non-animal testing methods have been used by hundreds of companies such as “Clarins, Dermalogica, Estee Lauder and Clinique”.
