Why Is Animal Testing Unnecessary
Animal experimentation: Unnecessary Necessity. It is saddening to think the past half a century’s discoveries are made by torturing and killing innocent animals. According to PETA, each year more than one hundred million faultless animals are being testing on using barbaric methods such as implanting tumors, inhalation of poisonous gases and many more. This just shows how it is important for us as humans being to care about other living things, too. Testing on animals is cruel/unnecessary and should no longer be performed. Animal experimentation is cruel and dangerous. According to Humane Society International, over one hundred million animals like fish, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, mini-pigs, and monkeys are tortured by using methods like force feeding, implanting tumors, forced inhalation, food deprivation, and prolonged periods of physical restraint. More importantly over ninety five percent of the animals used are not protected beforehand. This reveals that these animals are vulnerable to mistreatment and abuse without the protection of the American

According to Neavs’ biomedical research, “Animals and humans differ considerably with regard to anatomy, physiology and metabolism and it is not possible to predict whether a human will react identically or differently based on the results of experiments conducted on animals”. This shows how even though humans share similar genes with animals, they are not the same. Human are different than animals in many basic ways – We share differences in our environment, the way of living or surviving, and most importantly we share a major difference in our genetics. There have been numerous drugs created and “perfected” by testing on animals but caused severe even lethal effects on humans. This proves that relying on animals for serious disease cures is not an option and is extremely
