Animal Testing is wrong!?

Question

It is so mean! They make animals smoke ciggarettes why don't they test humans theirs more of us than animals! It's cruel cuz they test on them then they die and it doesn't prove anything in the end! Who agrees with me?!

Answer 1

It is unpleasant but animal testing is extremely valuable. Countless lives have already been saved thanks to animal testing and tests are still producing valuable results that could save thousands more lives. For example making animals inhale cigarette smoke helped prove that smoking causes cancer. Most researchers care a great deal about their animals and do everything that they can to minimize the suffering. The amount of animal testing should be and is being reduced wherever possible but it is simply too valuable to stop completely.

Answer 2

For all of the people saying that monkeys smoking helped discover ciggarettes were dangerous,it wasn't!Rats can't get lung cancer neither could the monkeys.People thought ciggarrettes were completely safe because of that,how did we learn ciggarrettes were dangerous?Through epidemoligy,the study of people's lifestyle's.We learned that the people smoking were the people developing lung cacer.

During the last 80+ years, scientists experimenting on trillions of animals, came up with 900 ways of causing cancer in a mouse...BUT NO CURE TO HUMANS!

Giving cancer to laboratory animals has not and will not help us to understand the disease or to treat those persons suffering from it. Sabin, Albert, MD

Results from animal tests are not transferable between species, and therefore cannot guarantee product safety for humans...In reality these tests do not provide protection for consumers from unsafe products, but rather they are used to protect corporations from legal liability. Gundersheimer, Herbert
M.D., Baltimore 1988

We have cured mice of cancer for decades--and it simply didn't work in humans. Klausner, Dr. Richard

What good does it do you to test something [a vaccine] in a monkey? You find five or six years from now that it works in the monkey, and then you test it in humans and you realize that humans behave totally differently from monkeys, so you’ve wasted five years. Feinberg, Dr. Mark

Answer 3

I dont, animals are the perfect models for human conditions, its unethical to do some kinds of experiments on humans but animals provide a basic understanding so that we can use humans, without animal testing we wouldnt have half the knowledge we do about medicene and various medical conditions, testing beauty products on animals is unnecessary but for scientific research is a regretable but necessary sacrifice

Answer 4

You have a right to your opinion. But, lets say you had a disease that caused you a lot of pain. Doctors thought they knew a medication that would treat your pain, but did not how it would effect your body. Now, they could give the medication to rats to determine its effects. Lets say they did and the rats ended up dying because the medication was poisonous. Would you have been glad they did not give the medication to you?

You could also imagine that they did not give the medication to the rats or you because they were unsure of its effects. Lets say the drug was a miracle and would have relieved all your pain. But, you'll never know because testing had never been done and you stay in pain.

I know its not ideal that animals die in experiments. But, in the defense of scientists, they provide the animals with pain medication or anesthetize them first. So, they do not suffer.

Age: 19. Gender: lady. coaching: Uni. profession: pupil. no longer working precise now. #one million. Do you think of that animal sorting out protects us from injury? No. i do no longer. how are you able to in all possibility comprehend how a human will react with the help of sorting out drugs or something on mice, rats or monkeys? you may no longer! purely because of fact something might help a mouse, it would desire to do no longer something for us or worse. no longer something which would be bought to or provided to human beings on my own might desire to be examined on animals because of fact we are different creatures, consequences would be different and the animal suffers. #2. Do you agree or disagree with animal sorting out. if so why? I disagree. What I stated above. #3. Do you think of that possibilities to animal sorting out might desire to be discovered? genuinely. lots of human beings are prepared to possibility themselves to save an animal. i might have not any concern sorting out makeup or splendor products on myself. If I have been unwell (maximum cancers as an occasion) i does no longer have a concern being dealt with. hey, it would desire to save my life and a great number of individuals!

Answer 6

I agree, I hate animal testing, but it's a necessary evil in finding cures that could potentially save lives.

Answer 7

I agree because they are testing stuff that already everybody knows is dangerous. Like bleach chlorine and other chemicals just to put these warning signs on the back of a product. These people are so smart they should know already what chemicals are dangerous

Answer 8

animal testing is evil and should be stopped the companies have test models why cant they use those and leave these poor cats and dogs and every other animal they keep in these small cages alone its inhumane and should be made illegal and i dont understand how PETA could let this go on i am not buying any products that are tested on animals

Answer 9

Would you rather have them test on humans? I do think that its wrong but what are you gonna do? And it does prove something. That the cigarettes aren't safe. Alot more people would die every year if they didn't test on animals.

Answer 10

I totally agree.its not fair, animals have no choice of wether they want to be tested on or not and thier reaction to what ever is being tested on them can be totally diffrent (even deadly) for humans.
