Why Is Animal Testing Bad
Would you consider a cow being a model? Animal testing can be harmful and helpful. Animal testing can be helpful because it helps us learn what is safe for us. It shows what could harm us or help somebody with a disease. Even though there might be a small percentage of it working, it could still treat a person’s disease or even cure it. Animal testing can hurt the animal and even kill it. Because, of new technology we are able to have more accurate results than animal testing. Because, studies have shown that animal testing does not work, it wastes resources. Animals should not be tested on.
Even though, it is medical research, the experiments on the animals usually fail. During the experiments the animal is in pain and sometimes dies at the end of the test. If the animal does not die at the end, then they will reuse for another experiment. Not only does it hurt the animal, but it is also waste of resources. Humane Society International says, “As a …show more content…
Scientists put artificial diseases into the animals, then try to find a cure that might not be able to find. Because, it does not work, all it does is tortures animals and wastes tons of money and time. Humane Society International says, “Independent scientific reviews demonstrate that research using animals correlates very poorly to real human patients. In fact, the data show that animal studies fail to predict real human outcomes in 50 to 99.7 percent of cases. This is mainly because other species seldom naturally suffer from the same diseases as found in humans.” They also say, “…provide little understanding of how chemicals behave in the body, and in many cases do not correctly predict real-world human reactions. Similarly, health scientists are increasingly questioning the relevance of research aimed at "modelling" human diseases in the laboratory by artificially creating symptoms in other animal
