5 Reasons to Ban Animal Testing
Mar 24th 2007CarlAnimal Rights & Political
An estimated 100 million animals are used in laboratory tests every year. Tests are done on all kind of animals: mice, rats, rabbits, apes but also dogs and cats.
5 reasons to ban animal testing:
- Animal testing is cruel. Many animal tests lead to pain on animals and a part of the tests are performed without any pain killers. Some tests lead to permanent injury or death. The toxicology of some products are tested by putting it in the eyes of a rabbit for days.
- Animals have rights too. Animals have rights as well and they shouldn’t be violated. Human beings are just another species of animals. Most of us wouldn’t accept that 100 million people would be submitted every year to non-voluntary tests (many leading to pain or death). Why do we allow it with animals? Animals are non-volunteers in tests when tests could be done with alternative methods.
- Animal tests aren’t reliable. People and animals are different and that’s why a medicine or cosmetic ingredient that is safe on animals may not be it on people or vis-versa. For example aspirin is toxic to rats and mice but not to people (source: BUAV)
- There are alternative to animal testing. These includes for example embryonic stem cell research. Also using volunteering people instead of non-volunteering animals is one of the alternatives.
- Animal tests are often unnecessary. As results from animal tests are often considered commercial secrets, it happens that the same products or ingredients are tested many times by different companies. The necessity of animal testing for cosmetics can be also questioned. Furthermore alternatives to animal research could be used.

animal testing is wrong many animals are left to suffer after they have been experimented on this is unfair to leave an animal in pain.
Kati on 20 Jun 2007 at 15:17 #
Do use human for those idiot testing, or if they would figured out and do chose veganist test.
Animals DO matter to and those DO belong to this world too!
They HAVE rights like you have too!
Animals are NOT any thing to human use to testing something cemical or anything else!
I wish that peoples stop that all.

I won’t blame is wolf eat your children, i blame YOU who let them play alone (if peoples can care about their children, so they can try little harder).
To kill beautiful animal won’t get any rght things! (even if you kill them withiut any reason (like in Finland!).

I absolutely see no point in testing animals. It’s cruel and totally unnecessary. It sickens me!! Being a huge animal lover I am completely against the use of animals for testing, and I don’t understand why people are still using the cute critters. Don’t people understand that animals feel pain as much as we do? They have feelings as well, and I would support saving them all the way!!

all you people who are anti animal testing…
i would like to see you go and volenteer yourselves for lab tests.
im sure you use medicne when you are ill…if that wasnt tested on animals (which every one is) you could be dead.
be thankful…its a necessary evil

To the person who said “I love animal Testing its not cruel”, you are an absolute Sicko, I hope someone pumps drugs into your system until you get intensely sick or that someone gets an eyedropper and puts toxic chemicals into your eyes until you go blind and suffer horribley. Then maybe you’ll think differently about animal cruelty.

Every time I see a product that says “not tested on animals” I think, “oh, great, so they test it on me?” I see nothing wrong with testing things on, to use Kati’s word, “cute” animals like rats and mice.
Generally, people who oppose animal testing have no knowledge of science and, without animal testing, we’d still be living in the early 20th century with influenza, smallpox, and polio running rampant.
And yes, Michael Vick is a scumbag.

The idea of ‘rights’ is completely artificial… outside the boundaries of society, there are no inherent rights. Most of the PETA-type people have zero ‘outdoor’ experience, and haven’t observed nature in its own right. They dream of a perfect nature from their apartment.
If all animals have the right to life, then how come everything kills other organisms to survive? Death in nature is not pretty or romantic - a hawk killing a vole, wolves eating a moose alive… these are things that happen every instant, and are not beautiful for the victim.
We all have our own personal right to survival, and the conflict that arises is obvious - me or them! We have the fortune/curse of abstract thought, and can question what we are doing to our prey, and if it justifies the end.
We all have contributed to the destruction of the earth through the mining of minerals for our computers, the trees for our paper, the petroleum for our plastics, earth and soil degredation for our food (animal or plant)… harming animals for medicine is one more thing to the list, as sad as that is.

I believe that animal testing is cruel and disturbing, yes I know that great cures and medicines have been discovered but these discoveries could of been approached in a different way. Most animals that are tested on are left to suffer alone for trivial things such as hair spray. Humans and animals function differently for e.g. morphine makes us quite sleepy and relieves pain but on a cat it makes them hyper. Even though scientific “research” has saved many lives it has also killed many people in the process. Many drugs have been tested on animals and scientist have come to the conclusion that they are safe to us on humans for e.g. an arthritis drug Vioxx, but it ended up having a negative effect on humans and caused people to have strokes and heart attacks.
Experimenting on animals needs to be stop or even at least done in a humane way.

i think that jail people waiting for the death penalty should be tested instead of poor innocent little animals. The criminal are giong to die anyway. and besides, they would basically be repaying the world back whatever they did to become criminals. Leave the animals ALONE!

Animal testing is good. No animal’s life is worth the life of a human. Many more animals are killed for plenty of other reasons such as hunting, pest control, etc. Animals are not equal to humans. If you think they are, you need to wakeup and actually think about what humans live for and what animals live for. You will see a huge difference between animals and humans. Humans are way more complex than animals. You animal lovers will never win. Animals are actally being useful when they are being used in tests. They are helping to make a difference in the lives of many humans when they are being tested on. AND, animals dont have a say in plenty of things. Examples are: being taken away from their mother and being sold, Living in zoos for our entertainment instead of running free, being kept in cages waiting to be killed for the next person who wants to eat a steak, etc. “Show me the animal i have to kill to save the life of a human, and i will rip it apart with by bare hands”, GOD i love that quote!

Animal Testing is WRONG! I can’t believe sick people would even think to do that to a creature. Just because they don’t have voices and can’t speak up doesn’t mean we have to test on them. There are alternatives such as cloning DNA! Think about the suffering they go through and the pain, but they can’t speak out because we assume they don’t have feelings. We wouldn’t like to be locked up in a pen to have things forced at our eyes mouths, and body! Its so wrong and i want people who take part in such a cruel process to stop and think about what they are doing and imagine if they were the animal.

i think animal testing is HORRiBLE..
animals have rights like humans do.
i mean i understand that we do have to test it on something id rather it be an animal than a human..BUT i rather it be a non-healthy animal then it be a healthy animal. YES animals r way cute.I think there r people out there voultering to be tested on. And those people get pain killlers when they get tested on WHY dont animals get that same right?
there are many other living things out there RATHER then a animal. There r so many people out there against it and there r so many people for it..i think it should be BANNNED forever!
i mean there r alot of arguements and they r good ones at that.
but those poor animals cant agrue for them self.

I hate it when my rabbit is in pain. He might hop to close to a chair and his nail gets pulled. Then he jumps back and starts to bleed and shakes a lot. I am sure those animals who are tested on feel pain 10 times worse then that. But it really helps my rabbit to hold him firmly or pet his neck feed him from your hand. If people won’t stop animal testing can’t they just care for the animals like I care for my rabbit when he’s hurt?

Yes animal testing is cruel for animals. no one wants to see another living creature suffer the way they do in the labs. But i would have to say im thankful for animal testing because without it, we wouldn’t have medicines for our cold and fever etc. Ironically, your pet’s vaccines were tested on other animals before being injected into your lovable pet to help them have a healthy longer life. Animal testing is not inhumane because it would be worse if scientists were to use humans (they already do but not as much) to test on.
Kathy on 11 Dec 2007 at 3:27 #
I hear some of you guys complaining about how bad and cruel animal testing is. The next time you eat a hamburger or wear leather or anything that had to do with killing an animal..think about what the difference is between animal testing and animal slaughtering. by the way, there are more animals used and killed for agricultural reasons, pest control, euthanasia, automobiles, etc than there are in the laboratories.

Shuayb ciise on 21 Dec 2007 at 20:19 #
Animal testing is arrogant and incredibly cruel. Like us, animals can feel pain and fear, but also excitement and satisfaction. Close contact with animals shows that they look forward to some extents, and can clearly get a lot of enjoyment from their lives, be it from basking in the sun, exercising, eating favorite food, or interacting with others, as in playing and mutual grooming. Certainly animals don’t have the same abilities as humans. They can’t talk, write books or drive cars, but neither can some humans. We don’t ask how intelligent a person is before we decide whether to eat

I have been doing a report on this at school for my science corsework and my research has lead me to believe that animal testing is needed so that incidents like the Thalidomide incident never happen again. If they stopped testing on animals incidents like this may happen again and again. Also because of the Thalidomide incident all Drugs and Cosmetics must be tested on single human cells then test on animals then tested on Humans. Only then can they be sold to the public. While many people dispute the effectiveness of these trial there has been very few incidents where drugs have had to be called back after the current testing standards. The piece of evidence that made me think this way was. ‘’Laboratory animals most commonly are used in three main areas: biomedical research, product safety testing, and education. Biomedical researchers use animals in their efforts to understand the workings of the body and the processes of disease and health, and to develop new vaccines and treatments for various diseases. This sort of research isn’t solely for the benefit of human health; it is aimed at developing new veterinary techniques as well.’’ This shows that the animals are well organised and are not used as if they are deposable and that they serve many different uses and that a lot of good can come from them. This evidence also shows that they are not careless how they use the animals and that they make sure that they are all accounted for. I now personally think that animal testing is ok because if it saves human lives it is worth the cost.
laura on 31 Jan 2008 at 16:01 #
animal testing is so wrong and should not be done. i think this because animals are not humans and do not have the same structure as humans. so the testing can not really prove anything except for that it effects the animal, but it may effect the human differently. animal testing should be stopped. animal testing does not prove anything, no matter how much you guys wanna beleive that it does than go ahead, but i suggest you stop animal testing. i hope anyone that can likes animal testing can die from it

Animal testing has been incorporated into medical techniques and procedures
around the world to assist in countless cures and medicines, saving millions upon
millions of human and animal lives. Animal testing has provided lives for victims of
breast cancer, AIDS, diabetes, tuberculosis, and asthma. Scientists use animal testing
every day in attempt to cure many diseases, and in the past, this essential lifesaving
method has proved very useful. For the saved lives of millions of humans, millions of
animals, and thousands of improved lives, animal testing and vivisection must continue,
to further benefit our medical advances and our society.
Initially, testing on animals improves many lives. Eighty percent or more of
testing is done on rodents like rats and mice. Less than .05 percent of testing is on cats,
dogs, and monkeys combined. That’s just five out of ten thousand animals tested.
Without these cats, dogs, monkeys, and rodents,inhalers for asthma would not exist. Caelan, who is in my English class, has the terribledisease of asthma. Asthma constantly causes your lungs to swell, resulting in difficulty of breath. Variations of asthma cause you to have asthma attacks. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs enhance thousands of lives every day worldwide. The lives of millions more are dramatically improved by these crucial tests. Billions of lives have benefitted from animal testing. One saved life could benefit hundreds. If one person dies, hundreds of future generations would not come about. This would not kill thousands, but it would take away thousands of opportunities to live. Also, for example, if the pope died of tuberculosis, hundreds of millions of people would be affected negatively over just this one loss. Tests contribute to billions of lives positively and can contribute to billions more if animal testing continues.
In addition, animal testing and vivisection has saved many million human lives
and has the potential to save millions more. Charles Darwin, who theorized that all
humans came from chimpanzees, stated, “I know that physiology cannot possibly
progress except by means of experiments on living animals”. One in eleven women are
affected by breast cancer. That’s more than 40,000 people just in the UK. Rat testing
has made breast cancer deaths drop by thirty percent since the nineties with chemotherapy. Now, breast cancer victims have a seventy-seven percent five-year survival rate. That means that after five years, about seven and a half out of ten women stay alive. Many would argue that nobody should test on animals, but ninety-seven percent of physicians agree that animal testing should continue, and ninety-nine percent of physicians agree that animal testing has benefitted medical progress in the past. From the many hundred lives saving our soldiers on D-day to the modern day, penicillin, another antibiotic tested on animals, has saved millions of lives. Imagine that your mother has cancer and the only way to save her is to test a cure on, say… one thousand mice. You could allow scientists to test and possibly kill the animals and save your mother, or you could save the mice and have your mother die. It’s your choice.
Perhaps most importantly although, is that animal testing saves millions upon millions of animal lives. These medicines, cures, and antibiotics provided through animal testing benefit the species being tested on as well as millions of humans. The cure for diabetes, insulin, was first tested on a diabetic dog who was soon to die, making it whole. This is one phenomenal way of many humane techniques that keep animals alive while testing, and even benefit them. No one could argue that saving a dog’s life in testing is detrimental to anyone or anything. If humans hadn’t saved this one dog’s life, millions of diabetic animals would not have lived. Penicillin, the lifesaving antibiotic previously mentioned that has proved helpful to millions of animals around the world, was only possible through animal testing. Eight mice were given a deadly 110 million streptococci bacteria and four were given penicillin. The four with penicillin lived, yet the other four died. Blood transfusion, another testing miracle, started on animals. The first animal to have blood transfused into its bloodstream was a dog. Blood transfusion is employed following many surgeries. It is also put to use after open heart surgery to prevent cancers and amenia. My grandmother had open heart surgery and I would be completely devastated if she obtained cancer. Animal testing is needed in order to save animals’ lives.
carol on 05 Feb 2008 at 4:09 #
if all of you dont like animal testing, dont get vaccinated. dont get rabies shots. dont get chemotherapy. dont use insulin. dont use an asthma inhaler. all of those were provided by animal testing. all of you animal testing haters, go try to argue with the 97 % of physicians who agree with animal testing. you all have no facts. u just think the animals are cute. what difference does it make if the animal is cute or hideous? no difference at all. dont get me wrong. i love animals. i just love humans more.

I think that animal testing is a good cause and should be practiced by all physicians. All of the people that say that “Why don’t we take people at random and test these products on them” are dults. Why don’t we test the products on you people and see how you people like it? Maybe then you people will change your minds about animal testing. Human testing is too dangerous to do, numerous tests have ended in disaster with the deaths of the people, when the whole event could have been avoided by just using animals. It is sad when an animal dies, but it is even more sad when a human dies. Think about that.

Most animal testing is done on rats and mice! And Guess what! They multiply like crazy!!! As do most animals tested on! So why do you all complain? Its one little rat soon to replaced by 15 or so other rats. If you think about it, its really not so bad! Would you rather have them test things on humans? No, you wouldn’t. Its them… or us. If you don’t like them testing on animals, then tell them to test it on you. Its that easy. But your not gonna, are ya.

It takes a super computer a full day to simulate just 4 beats of the human heart, how long would it take to simulate a whole body?
All other “alternatives” are nowhere near developed enough.
why do you think they would do it if it wasn’t reliable?!
It is reliable, anyone who’s ever taken medicine? that medicine was tested on animals. if it’s not tested on anmals, it won’t be safe.

Reasons Animal Cruelty is BAD!…
-defenceless inocient animals dont have a say
-humans have rights, why cant animals
-so many animals die from it, yet if so many humans died it’d be a big deal…it should be a big deal for BOTH cases!
-Imagine your pet being tested…sad huh…?
-they are differnt from us humans so therefore the results r off
-how would u feel swooshed in a cage while getting shots…
We have to stop this now!

I think it is cruel to test on animals it is against all rights and some stuff theyn test have opposite affects on animals than they do on humans!
Most people don’t realize not only is it permitted it is encouraged and manditory for all new products to be tesed on at least 4 animals.
Animal testing is cruel and in humane and it must be stopped.

What kind off people can stand there and put an animal threw that kind of stuff …ITS WAY WRONG… i would love to put some of these sick people who enjoy hurting animals in a lab and put chemicals in to their bodies and watch them suffer.

ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE FOR ANIMAL TESTING YOUR SICK YOU WOULDENT LIKE TO BE CUT UP AND INJECTED WITH CHEMICALS …WHAT HAVE ANIMALS DONE TO DESERVE SUCH PAIN MOST OF THE TESTING IS DONE FOR BULL SHIT THINGS ….SO I SAY SCREW ANIMAL TESTING LETS TEST YOU

I’m against animal testing i think it is wrong and should be baned. But it would be imhumane to test on people and children. They should test on convicts in prision who have raped and killed innocent people. Test them not animals.

Ok, all you people who say that animals suck or animal testing is the best ever. You all are bloody mad. Animals have feelings just like we do. Scientist force them into doing these tests for HUMAN KIND. They get no benefit from it. 50% of animals die after a test. Animals are smart, lovely, beautiful creatures who deserve a right just like we have. Just because we don’t understand them doesn’t mean that we should not respect them. Animals have ruled this world longer than we have. Then we come along and think it’s ok to take over their way of life. I mean come on! Animals are the worlds best and we take COMPLETE advantage of them. Animals aren’t just stupid creastures who poop in your yard. Yes they can get annoying sometimes, but what doesn’t. Everything can get annoying after a time. But testing for the Human kind and not thinking about how they feel?!? How would you like it if you were put into a cage and shot with everything a doctor had. I think testing should be done on the prisoners who are sentenced to the death penalty. But never animals!

Another thing… animals take to diseases differently then humans. So most of the time the tests fail and take forever to find a cure. Animals are different from humans and are not the same therefore, we can not go on with animal testing for “our own good”PERIOD!
-if you want to test on a real subject that will react to the same extent, use a human!

all u ppl who think animal testing is RIGHT then u are a cruel, evil person urself!!!! how would u like to hav a whole bunch of chemicdals flowing through ur body? exactly. thts wut i thought. animal testing is totally wrong!!!! i was reading this comment thing on another website the other day. the person said (this is just wut i remember),” scientists say they are doing this for the good of mankind. not the worse. but if they really are trying to cure diseases, then they arent doing so well. because there’s still: chicken pox, influenza, the common cold, cancer, AIDS, and so many more.”
i’m only in the 7th grade. n i still hav a lot to learn about life. n how this crazy world of ours works. but one of my many dreams is tht when i get older, i’m going to try and fight in the war tht these animals hav been fighting in for quite sum time. it only takes one person to make a difference. and i want that ONE person to be ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Animal testing is so wrong I am totally against it everyone who is for it may so that we eat animals in that usage are actually helping humans but when scientist test animals than animals die basically for no real reason

Millions of animals die every year from animal testing. Thirty-three die every second in laboratories worldwide, and in the UK, one every four seconds. 95% of tests are discarded as useless or dangerous to humans. And even Less than 2% of human illnesses are found in humans. Rats, highly used in tested are only 37% accurate in identifying what causes cancer to humans, so flipping a coin would be more accurate. At least 50 drugs on the market give laboratory animals cancer, yet are allowed because they know animal testing is not relevant. In animal testing, lemon juice is poison. 88% of stillbirths and 61% of birth defects are cause by drugs passed as safe in animal tests. Animal testing is torture. Though the saddest thing is that all this can easily be stopped, because we have more than 450 ways we can replace animal experiments.

Why not get yourself and PETA to volunteer your bodies for testings so the animals don’t have to be tested. Its only the right thing to do since humans can say so if they want to be tested on or not……put up or shut up…..

Seriously, none of the facts listed here are actual facts! In order to be facts, they need to be cited. These are all opinions and myths at best. Animal Research is quite necessary, the animals live in clean, comfortable environments. Often better treated and cared for then their pet counter parts since their cages are cleaned every day and they are fed on a regular, nutritious schedule! Most pets are forgotten about and may be cleaned ever few weeks!

you say that animal testing saved lives right? But here’s the thing. By using more medicines in our bodies, we become weaker. Our immune system becomes more vulnerable. And all those medicines out there? They’re useless. Sooner or later, those viruses will evolve and will change THEIR system so that they cannot be affected by the medicines WE have. Animal testing? Yeah it’s wrong and it’s unnecessary. Taking medicines are unnecessary. It’s better in the long term for people to become IMMUNE to AIDS, HIV, etc.

for all of you that think animal testing is right. ive only got one thing to say to you. GET A LIFE AND STOP HURTING THE POOR LITTLE ANIMALS! there are ways around using animals AND HUMANS! they can do testing on human tissue. which is easy access too because of people getting surgery, removing human tissue during a surgery is harmless. theres enough of it, and it would b more percise and accurate then an animal. animals life differnt lives then us, so the results are more then likely to be wrong. also the can use computer diagrams, plants, ect.
STOP THE ANIMAL TESTING. ITS 110% UNNECESSARY!!

It is absolutley sick to assume that animals do not have as much right to life as us.
I feel very strongly against that. Animals have as much right to life as humans, and if we are supposedly the most intelligent animals then should we not realised that? Strict controls have not prevented researchers from abusing animals and deaths through research are absolutely unnecessary and are morally no different from murder. When locked up they suffer tremendous stress. Can we know they don’t feel pain? Those are my moral issues.
My practical issues:
1_ Animals can react differently to drugs - there is always a certain chance of failure.
2_ Alternatives include test tube studies on human tissues, statistics and computer models; people dislike this idea just because it costs a bit more money. So they put a price on an animal’s life.
3_ The stress that animals endure in labs can affect experiments, making the results meaningless.
4_ Animals are still used to test items like cleaning products, which are more or less pointless.

Animal testing is definitely essential for the advancement of everyone’s health (including animals). Animal testing has been a major role in the medical achievement of our world.
*I am a major animal lover but we all must face the fact that some time in our futer that the one you love the most in the world will need the medicine that an animal died for, you will have absolute no hesitation on what you will do. Who would, if stuck in a burning building choose to save an animal over their loved one.
Erika on 18 Apr 2008 at 2:18 #
Hey!!!
Animal testing may be cruel but yeah I’d much rather have my loved one live than a mouse. Let me guess that more than 90% of you are not vegetarians. Animal testing is a much better cause than just eating them. Animal testing saves lives.
But I do agree it is immoral to experiment and test on animals for products that cater to human vanities.

I think that animal testing should definitely be banned. It is not fair to expose creatures the harmful substances because just like humans, they are living, breathing creatures that have senses and feelings. There are other alternatives to animal testing, that can be more beneficial for everyone. We need to stop being such selfish human beings and come to the realization that there are other living things on this planet. I definitely agree with the five reasons animal testing should be banned.

i think that animal testing is bad because animals are just like us but on all 4 of their legs.that is very cruel and i think that the people who do that to the animals should burn in hell because there gonne burn in hell anyways because killing and animal and also torturing an animal is like killing a person so whats the point!
People who agree on animal testing being fine should be ashamed of theirselves because that means they are all cold hearted and are really dumb humans!!!!!!!!
i really think that they should be ashamed of theirselves because they have no heart and they have nothing better to do.
they are so stupid and retarded.if i had a minute with them i would speak my mind you have got to be kiding me i mean torturing animals is cruel and the videos that i have seen is very disturbing and i am totally against it.I HOPE THEY ALL BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!

this is for all of the anti-animal testers: GIVE US BETTER REASONS TO STOP IT THAN “OH ITS WRONG” OR “OH ITS INHUMANE” OR “HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF U WERE AN ANIMAL?” the point is we’re NOT the animals and we will never BE the animals.
embryonic stem cell research some of u say? let me ask u this: do u even KNOW wat that is? cuz tats killing a baby. a HUMAN baby. ur sticking up for animals than human babies?? or some of u said to test it on rapists, criminals, right? let me ask u this: some of them AREN’T rapists or criminals meaning they’re falsely charged. everyone on earth is all criminals in some way. the only difference is that those in jails just got caught.
some of u also said, “why don’t humans be tested on?” the truth is THEY ARE BEING TESTED. people volunteer to be tested on.
also, its true that our immunesystem is becoming weaker by taking medicines. but if we don’t, we don’t know how long our population can last before we all die out. it takes HUNDREDS OF YEARS for people’s immune system to become invulnerable. HUNDREDS OF YEARS. not just one or two, but 100!! we can’t last long enough for us to become immune to ALL the diseases. THER’S SIMPLY TOO MUCH. viruses can easily do that because they’re NOT HUMANS. STOP COMAPRING US TO THEM! NO MATTER WHAT, ANIMALS RIGHTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS HUMAN RIGHTS!
u said that animals are differnt than us so the will react differenly? yeah, its true. but what else do we got? i mean, we arleady got human volunteers. wat are we supposed to do? test it on PLANTS?

Wow, this is one big list of comments. I am quite neutral to this controversial issue, but I’m leaning more towards the side of saying no to animal testing, though some rare times it is necessary for human lives. I’ve researched on reasons against this topic for my English debate, and they’ve really convinced me. Animals and humans are different, so why waste billions of dollars and millions of lives of animals on products or cures that almost none will never work? I read that there was over half a million compounds screened as anti-cancer agents on lab animals between 1970-1985. Only 80 compounds moved into clinical trials on humans, 24 of these had anti-cancer activity, and only 12 appeared to have a “substantial clinical role.” Wow, that is very saddening to me. So much pain to bear and so many deaths.

Everyone who agrees with animal testing and giving good reasons has brians.
If you dont like it go and offer yourself and let the “cute little animals” go. Because according to you, you would rather be laying in bed dieing than recieving a cure or vaccine because poor animals might die.

Hey, all I can say is that animal testing is both good and wrong.
Think about the positives:
research for humans and saving lives.
The negatives:
pain and suffering for the animals.
My opinion is that animal testing should only be done for cures. But I think that all animal testing should be banned for things like cosmetics, cleaning products ect. I mean we can live without those. And I think that they should at least be nice to the animals:)
So…think about-it’s neither bad or good.

We are not here to kill lives.Someone sent us here on Earth to be able to do a mission given to us by our creator. As I see and look at the world I notice that everything is made on purpose. And
this is my Opinion.
When I saw what you posted on this site I cannot understand you. Maybe that’s because I am still a kid.I just hope when I grow up and become an adult like some of you, I willbe able to understand.
Some Question run on my mind like:
Is it realy necessary to test on animal and why?
Why do people thinks istis evil?
And why is their evil and sin?
How can they hurt someone that was not even hurting them?

Anthrax, chicken pox, chorlera, diptheria, flu, influenz B, hipatits A and B, measles, mumps, polio, rabies smallpoz and so many other vaccines and cures have been found through animal testing. medical science would grind to a halt should this kinda reaserch stop. Besides peta and it’s supporters are all hippicritcal terrorists. their vice presedint Merry BethSweetland uses Insulin because she has type A diabetes, while she and her others from PETA support terrorism agasint animal reaserch labs.

this one is a response to tasha.
swearing and bad grammer isnt gonna get your point through so well, but anyway yor the idiot. not all animals are torchered by testing and it does give a GREAT benifit you have no idea how many vacines, and cures have been found just because of animal testing. every type of transplant like heart or bone barrow has been tested on animals and it hs saved thousands of lives. diabetics can actually live thanks to animal testing. I could name hundreds of different things that came from medical testing but i dont have time or patients for that. you should watch Pen and Teller bullish: PETA. the end talks about animal testing maybe itll open your hippy eyes. and torchering a human is nothing near torchering a human. i would personnaly rip apart every monkey on this planet to save a junky with aids, thats the difference between a human and an animal.
you wanna reply to me personaly go ahead, i ahve a useless email i use 4 fun, not my real one its

there are so many alternatives to animal research, i know, i’ve done a lot of research on it, and they are way more reliable. and the argument that without animal research we’d be dead is ridiculous. over the years many people have died because of medicine that was supposedly “safe” and was tested on animals. i luv animals sooo much, and it’s cruel what they do to animals. if we got rid of animal testing then we’d have more money to use on humane methods that actually do give results.

i honestly think this is VERY disturbing i cant belive some people are for it. i also find it SO sad to actually know there is an animal that dies every day because of this curelty. Something NEEDS to be done here and its not the animals!!!!!!!!!!

I think Animal cruelty SHOULD be banned.
ANIMALS HAVE RIGHTS TO!!!
The tought of it makes me sick.

To say that animals aren’t equal to humans is ABSURD. Absolutely ignorant! They are living, breathing, they have lives. They can feel pain the way that we feel it. It’s like the Holocaust. Their relatives killed and it’s mass murder. And don’t even say “Don’t compare it to that!!!” because that is exactly what it is. If you were hung upside down with your throat slit and you bled to death how would you feel? If you were taken away to live in a lab and baked in an oven or even drowned in boiling for useless experiments what would you do? I think people FOR animal testing should be the ‘rats’ in these sort of experiments. And I am not a ‘HIPPY TREE LOVER’ ignorant stupid people. THINK put yourself in their place, how would you feel? They feel pain. Let nature take its course outside of human hands. Because all we are doing is messing with nature, in no way is this stupidity and inhumane activity part of the food chain and I don’t give 2 fucks of what you have to say. It’s MURDER and there will always be blood on your hands. How did we fund the cure for smallpox? We tested it on a child. And you say WHAT? But if we tested it on a baby animal you’d be like “I’m fine with that”. Medical research has major flaws and a lot of it is because animals aren’t like human, as far as biologically. So retards, THINK before you create more murder.

I am an absolute ANIMAL LOVER. but animals are not on the same level as humans. they deserve to be treated RESPECTFULLY which is why we have the ANIMAL WELFARE ACT to protect animals that are used for testing. A lot goes into animal testing. It’s not just a bunch of idiots who got together to torture animals for their please. NO. There are laws that are followed and Committes and Vets who look over these tests. ANIMAL TESTING IS NOT CRUEL. Yes they can be harmed and die, but the defenition of “cruel” is INTENTIONAL HARM, and animal testing is not to intentionaly harm the aniaml, it’s to discover new treatments and to understand why things are the way they are.
If you are againts cruelty then show CONSISTENCY. Don’t eat animal products because it “cruel”, don’t take antibiotics becasue it’s “cruel” to intentionaly harm and kill bacteria.
The use of animals have save millions of lives. With out animal testing we wouldn’t have the use of:
cardiac pacemakers
MRI scans
life support for premature babies
hep B vaccine
heart transplants
insulin for diabetics
cervical cancer vaccine
alzhemers vaccine
Thats just a handful of the many ways animals have contributed to our society.
THOSE WHO ARE AGAINTS ANIMAL TESTING ARE PRETTY MUCH SAYING:
THE LIFE OF A DOG, A MOUSE, A MONKEY OR ANY OTHER ANIMAL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SUFFERING A HUMAN BEING.
yes, there can be and IS other options other than animals, but animals are the closest we can get at times, to the replication of a human to create a succsessful test.

Animal testing is so cruel! I cant see why scientists do it anyway! Whoever thought of testing products on animals must of been awful! For all those animal lovers out there- we have to stop this! Imagine if animals could speak! Imagine what they would say to all these inhumane tests! Ask any human to vulenteer to these tests and I bet their answer would be no!

how many many think that animal testing is wrong
Elli on 07 Nov 2008 at 2:48 #
Animale testing is wrong…in some ways. Yes animal testing is wrong in the cruelty sort of way, and yes I think that is is wrong to test cosmetics on animals. I mean there are thousands of make-up produts out there, we truley don’t need more. I also believe that we could all go out and bye “cruelty free” or non animal tested shampoos and such…
But in a sense animal testing is all right. I mean, I have to take medications when I’m ill, and I’m sure you do to, and every single medicatio out there is animal tested. Besides there are a few volenteering humans…but if you really want to help volenteer yourself.
So yes animal testing is wrong in some ways. (we really don’t need any more cosmetics, or make-up) But it is, and I really hate to say this, good in others. (Medical siduations, not only for humans but animal testing help sick animals too!)

Animal Testing is just like the holocaust becuase its making innocent living beings suffer. but animal testing is STILL happining. Anyone who thinks humans are more important than animals can go friken burn in a pit of fire. animals are better then people. Sure humans might be able to talk and build things but we purposly destroy more things then we make. Humans kill, torture, destroy, steal….alot of the times all for fun. The diffrence between animals and people are that we enjoy the sufferings of other beings. The holocaust…..9/11 …..Rape……serial killers……animal cruelty/abuse/testing. Have u EVER seen an animal do ANYTHING like that?? Animals kill quickly for food. We kill slowly and inflict as much pain as possible for fun. THATS the diffrence between animals and people. THIS IS WHY ANIMALS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE. Why would anyone think we are better? Its becuase we ARE humans and humans are greedy and selffish, so of course we think we’re better, even when its obvious we arent. God didnt put us AHEAD or in CHARGE of the animals. We were meant to be their guardians, and we obviously arent doing a good job at that. Why whould our oh-so-merciful, perfect, loving God put us in charge of the animals only to make them suffer? Animal testing is wrong, mostely when its dealing with stupid cosmetics which we can live without. If animals are used for testing….why not people? im not voulunteering myself becuase i think animal testing is wrong altogether. But if someone thinks we really need to have testing for their stupid little products, then they can volunteer and have things jammed in their eyes, tubes shoved down their throats, get smacked around, get metal things stuffed in their brains and live their lives in agnony. Yup, thank u for ur time.

THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL THIS HAS TO STOP!
dumbasses! on 17 Nov 2008 at 6:54 #
okayy are you guts retarded? everyyythingggg is tested on animals. so why dont you stop using toothpaste! dare yaaaa.
come on ppl.. stop brushing your teeth. aahah betcha cant! we need animals to test everythingg. most of you ppl agianst it have never had a horriblee disease or a loved one dying from a horrible disease!
my mom is dying from MS and i dont give a shit if thier testing her meds on a stupid rat! who cares. your mom or a rat? lets think about it.
ya its sad boo hoo w.e but think about that next time you go to a store and but some eye drops or some hairspray girls.
there is no other alternative that works half as good as animals. because cloned cells and computers dont have a working digestive system developed brain or beating heart like animals do! otherwise doctors would already be using that.
get off your animal loving cloud anddd
wakeee thee fuckk upp.

Hey, “dumbasses!” if you weren’t such a judgemental ass hole, MAYBE you’d realize that we DON’T need animals to test supplies on. Idiot..
Elli on 19 Nov 2008 at 23:50 #
I’m talking to the person who wants us to stop brushing our teeth. There are alternitives to animal testing. So you can fuck off! I’ve got a disease my self…and guess what!? I take medications too! And they’re all animal testing. I doesn’t mean I can’t feel bad. Besides, I don’t buye animal tested products other than my medications. And even though all my medications are animal tested…I’m still going to DIE! So get whatever crawlled up your ass out of there, and don’t think every one who comments on this site is stupid cuz not all of us are. (Some are but not all)
