I understand medication being tested on animals but the cosmetic industry should not test on animals because its animal cruelty, the testing is not accurate, and there are other ways to test products. First reason they should not test on animals is because it’s animal cruelty. In America animal abuse is illegal. Testing on animals is abuse! Everyday millions of animals are locked in small cages giving them only enough room to turn around, and they have makeup put on them, and thousands die from it everyday.
Each year in the United States, an estimated 70 million animals were blinded, scalded, force-fed chemicals, genetically manipulated, and otherwise hurt and killed in the name of science. Substances that are used everyday, such as lipstick, soap, moisturisers and shower gels, may be tested on rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and other animals. These tests are mainly used to test the degree of harmfulness of products and their ingredients. No antidotes are ever given, so the animals that are injured must live with the pain. These tests are not required by law, so why would companies continue to torture peaceful animals?
Millions of animals die each year because scientist unfortunately test, practically everything on the animals before people. Cosmetics, medications, and hand sanitizers are some of the things tested on animals. Gillette is one company who tests their products on animals. I remember reading an email once showing where Gillette researchers put things like shaving cream, etcetera into the eyes of defenseless bunnies to see if it burned, and the bunnies screamed. Drug manufacturers test medications on animals after they have been injected with viruses and diseases to see if the medications work on the animals.
In the story of the Evil of Animal “Rights”, the writer tells us that animals are being test every day which causes death to most of them. He says that it is not a right to kill animals. Then, he gives so many evidences to prove using testing animals are extinct. I think, using animals for testing give us new vaccine which makes our lives better. Without animals for testing, where would our lives be going?
Obviously, it affects the animals themselves, because they are the ones being treated badly. For example, with animal testing, the poor animals are being tortured to death to make sure HUMANS don’t get cancer, birth defects, etc. The fact that people think it is okay to put these possibly harmful chemicals into innocent living creatures is ridiculous! “Humane Society International estimates that 100,000–200,000 animals suffer and die every year due to cosmetic testing. In these tests, the animals have chemicals forced down their throats, into their eyes and onto their shaved skin in order to document their reaction to ensure the safe use for humans” (Zuazua 2017).
They are used to test cosmetics, household cleaners, and other consumer products. Hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year by cruel corporations. Mice and rats are forced to inhale toxic fumes, dogs are force-fed pesticides, and rabbits have corrosive chemicals rubbed onto their skin and eyes. Everyday in countries around the world, animals are fighting for their lives. Animals don’t deserve to be treated this way.
Next thing the world knew thousands of animals were being killed either in or for animal experimentation. Now more than 100 million animals are poisoned, burned, crippled, and abused in U.S. labs each year and that is only a percentage of all the animals that are truly used, all others (94%) are excluded from the only federal law offering any sort of protection; the Animal Welfare Act, which controls the use of animals in research. So we may never
Fred creates an extraction lab containing 26 caged, violently abused puppies. Naturally, everybody is expected to be upset with Fred’s behavior. Norcross compares the condition that these puppies endured to the animals that Americans consume from factory farms. He goes on to state that there aren’t any legitimate morally significant difference in how Americans treat their future food compared to how Fred treated his tortured puppies. Norcross compares the behavior of meat eating Americans to Fred’s behavior.
Grandin did not agree with the methods used to slaughter cattle in the major meat-processing plants. She recognized that cattle, like some autistic people, exhibited signs of tremendous stress and anxiety when confronted by certain visual or audio clues (Temple Grandin Biography, 2006).The employees at the Arizona ranch put the cattle through tremendous stress when sending them through the line to their death, so much that some cattle would even tip over in anxiety and drown in the water as they were walking through. With this she developed a master’s plan to design a whole new system to send the cows through an obstacle course parse, to keep them under as little stress as possible as they were being dipped into the water. "We raise them for us; that means we owe them some respect. Nature is cruel but we don’t have to be.
Vivi-section violates animal freedom. And since animals cannot volunteer themselves, they are chosen for scientific purposes with no voice in the matter whatsoever. If us humans go swimming we have to sign waivers but these poor animals are being signed up for torture, which will lead to their inevitable death with no say in the matter. Vivi-section is used for scientific purposes, for finding cures that benefit the human population, sure a few animals will be saved using these cures but in the end it’s the human population that benefits more from the deaths of these helpless animals.
