Animal Experimentation The use of animals in laboratory experiments is unethical and strongly against animal rights. The abuse that animals are subjected to cannot be justified when an animal is incapable of signing its life away for testing. Millions of animals are killed or weakened by something against their own will. The experiments are extremely graphic and painful, even for the smallest of tests. “Huntingdon Life Sciences is one of the largest animal testers in Europe. They kill about 75,000 animals each year, 87 percent of which are rodents” (Murnaghan 1). More than 30 million mice are used in research facilities around the world, accounting for most of the animals used in experiments. They are used in Botox testing in many laboratories. After being paralyzed by Botox injection, their body goes into shock and they can no longer breathe. If it looks like the mouse won't survive, a researcher will take it into the hall with a pen. The researcher will roll the pen across the mouse's upper body in an attempt to break its neck and end its pain. Most of the time, however, it is the back that is broken instead of the neck and the mouse remains lying on the ground in pain as its nerves contract. The mouse must then suffer worse pain than botox would ever have caused while waiting to die. Rabbits, like mice, are also used in Botox. Botox is injected into the main vein of the rabbit's ear. Often the rabbit will jump or the researcher will miss the vein. The researcher will continue to attempt to stick the rabbit in the ear until he succeeds or the vein ruptures, rendering him useless. If the vein becomes useless, the rabbit is killed and thrown into a trash bag and left for dead in a trash can. After the Animal Welfare Act was passed, many aspects of animal testing became much more humane. Organizations like PETA have no interest in compromising with animal testing. They will only be satisfied when animal testing is completely removed. Protest signs are posted on benches near the labs and activists stand outside to protest scientists traveling to and from work. Due to animals not listed in the Animal Protection Act, it is not even possible to estimate the number of animals. used, abused and killed in animal testing. Rodents are most commonly used as test subjects because they have no protection. Many tests performed on these types of animals are not legally required tests for projects and cause unnecessary suffering to the animal. There was an artist named Jacqueline Traide who was so dedicated to ending animal testing that she decided to embark on a day-long role play of what an animal must endure. She sat in the window of a building so everyone in London could see her. Abused to the point of blood and tears, she was treated like an animal. His goal was to force himself through all the pain just to show people who know very little about animal testing what an animal has to go through in the
