i am doin a report on animals and drug testing giv me good examples..GOOD ONES?

Question

i'm in need of a thourough answer to why animals shouldnt be tested with drugs i need discriptve..

Answer 1

Some things can be very dangerous the certain animals and may die. Some might be allergic and they dont know it and go on and test. go to an animal testing website( one againts animal testing) and look there. They give you so many answer.s

Answer 2

Animal testing, or animal research, refers to the use of animals in experiments. It is estimated that 50 to 100 million animals worldwide [4][5][6] — from fruit flies and mice to non-human primates — are used annually and either killed during the experiments or subsequently euthanised. The research is carried out inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defense-research establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. [7] Most laboratory animals are bred for research purposes, while a smaller number are caught in the wild or supplied by pounds. [8]

The Foundation for Biomedical Research, an American interest group supporting animal research, writes that "[a]nimal research has played a vital role in virtually every major medical advance of the last century," [9] and that many major developments that led to Nobel Prizes involved animal research, including the development of penicillin (mice), organ transplant (dogs), and work on poliomyelitis that led to a vaccine (mice, monkeys). [10][11][12]

The topic is controversial. Opponents argue that animal testing is unnecessary, poor scientific practice, poorly regulated, that the costs outweigh the benefits, or that animals have an intrinsic right not to be used for experimentation


The earliest references to animal testing are found in the writings of the Greeks in the third and fourth centuries BC, with Aristotle (Αριστοτέλης) (384-380 BCE) and Erasistratus(Ερατοσθένης) (304-258 BCE) among the first to perform experiments on living animals (Cohen and Loew 1984). Galen, a physician in second-century Rome, dissected pigs and goats, and is known as the "father of vivisection."[15]


An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump, from 1768, by Joseph Wright.Animals have had a role in numerous well-known experiments. In the 1880s, Louis Pasteur convincingly demonstrated the germ theory of medicine by giving anthrax to sheep. In the 1890s, Ivan Pavlov famously used dogs to describe classical conditioning. Insulin was isolated first from dogs in 1922, and revolutionized the treatment of diabetes. On November 3, 1957 a Russian dog named Laika became the first of many animals to orbit the earth. In the 1970s, leprosy multi-drug antibiotic treatments were developed first in armadillos, then in humans. In 1996 Dolly the sheep was born, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell.


Most scientists and governments say they agree that animal testing should cause as little suffering to animals as possible, and that animal tests should only be performed where necessary. The "three Rs" [125] are guiding principles for the use of animals in research in many countries:

Reduction refers to methods that enable researchers to obtain comparable levels of information from fewer animals, or to obtain more information from the same number of animals.
Replacement refers to the preferred use of non-animal methods over animal methods whenever it is possible to achieve the same scientific aim.
Refinement refers to methods that alleviate or minimize potential pain, suffering or distress, and enhance animal welfare for the animals still used.
