When I think of animal testing one word comes to mind: cruel. Animal testing has been a subject of debate for many years. Although most people think that using animals to test products is a reasonable approach, in reality the result does not always show how the products will react on humans and the animals suffer unnecessarily. The United States must ban all animal testing like the European Union has done because animal testing is cruel and animals should not die from it. Animal testing is increasing by pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies because companies are spending billions of dollars on animal testing to make products safer for humans. Test animals are also treated poorly, and because of the way they are treated, the animals begin to act differently. The substances that cosmetic companies inject into animals are very harmful and torturous to the animals, so most of the animals end up dying or being severely handicapped from then on. Most results and conclusions from animal testing do not work the same way with humans. Tremendous amounts of money are spent on animal testing every year, when there are better ways to put that investment to good use for our country. Technological advances should be used to accelerate and improve the process of developing cures for humans instead of continuing to torture innocent creatures. Although animal testing is still in use, the European Union has banned it completely. There are many alternative methods being created, but ultimately we need an alternative method that completely bans animal testing. The first reason why we should ban animal testing is because keeping them in cages is unnatural and cruel. The research is… middle of the paper… it is outrageously painful and sometimes deadly to animals. How the hell is he so human? Some animals even end up having permanent disabilities from all the chemical testing. The results and conclusions of animal tests rarely work the same in humans, and a huge amount of money is spent on failed attempts. The success rate in transferring test results to humans is too low to justify the expense. Taxpayers would be wise to invest this money in alternative methods such as technological advances. While it may not be possible to completely reduce animal testing, significant reductions must be made to advance the state of the technology and improve overall outcomes. Medical advances must be made without perpetuating unnecessary suffering to defenseless creatures. The tests must be stopped; animals don't deserve any of these painful punishments.
