Essay / Animal testing used to aid human development should be...
Animals are held responsible for the pain humans experience in order to get the most out of products. People believe that to advance products, animals must undergo rigorous procedures. Animals endure pain, are afflicted with loneliness, and long to walk freely. Instead, all they can do is involuntarily sit in fear and patiently wait for the next terrifying and painful operation to be performed on them. Most of the time, the results are not accurate because humans and animals differ greatly. Considering the limiting factors, I think human products should be tested for our safety, but without having to harm animals. Animal testing used to aid human development should be kept to a minimum to avoid undergoing negligent and horrific procedures. Humans violate the rights of animals when they conduct research by giving them no choice but to participate. Animals, like humans, feel, think, and experience pain. They must therefore be approached with the same consideration as humans. Although animals never have the choice not to participate in experiments, they are exposed to painful ordeals that often cause permanent damage, sometimes death. To test the safety of new chemicals, products and cosmetics, animals are poisoned and killed by being forced to ingest harmful substances. Every year around 3 million animals are used in experiments in UK laboratories (Animal Aid). This amount does not include animals that were deliberately bred for use in experiments or animals rejected because they were unsuitable. If these animals were also included in the annual statistics, the number of animals used in experiments would increase by millions. These innocent creatures must suffer for the sake of humans. Animal testing has helped improve...... middle of paper...... it's too dangerous. EpiOcular is a thin layer of skin cells used to further product research without involving animal cruelty, such as the rabbit eye test which causes discomfort. New techniques are developed every day to avoid animal testing while advancing research on common products. Terrifying and thoughtless operations performed on animals should be avoided as much as possible and non-harmful procedures should be more commonly used to further research on human products. People should take caution when obtaining product data by thinking about how the animal would feel. As the animal has no voice of its own, its decisions are made for it. The disadvantages of animal testing far outweigh the advantages. Animals are held responsible for the further development of human products while they suffer when their rights are violated..
