Arguments Against Animal Testing
There are a lot of bad things that happen in this world and Animal Testing is one of them. Doctors,Scientists and other people test on these animals everyday. In my opinion there should be no animal testing at all. It is cruel. Right now there are millions of animals sitting in cold cages waiting for their next painful procedure. The stress, sterility and boredom causes them to develop neurotic behaviors such as, biting themselves and running around in circles. Most of these animals are killed after the testing because there is no possible way for them to live after this has happened. More than 100 million animals suffer this torture. Exact numbers have not been found, in rats, mice, birds, and cold blooded animals take up about 90 percent. To test cosmetics, household cleaners and other consumer products hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded and killed every year by cruel corporations. In my opinion we should not even be doing this at all, it is very wrong.Thousands of animals are killed everyday due to this torture. Animals have feelings too. Toothpaste is even tested on animals. It’s ridiculous. According to the human society, registration of a single pesticide requires more than 50 experiments and the use of 12,000 animals. The animals are tested for 2 years.

Laws have been passed in several countries to make the practice more “humane”. Drug testing using animals became more important in the 20th century. Issues such as “cruelty” to animals and the humane treatment of animals are valid concerns and hence the use of animals in experimental is greatly regulated. I think this stuff should be illegal. Labs that use mice, rats, birds, reptiles, and amphibians are exempted from the minimal protections under the animal welfare
