Animal testing.?

Question

What are the cons of animal testing?

Answer 1

I don't believe testing on animals is right.

Medical testing on animals is an outdated practice that is flawed. If animal test were reliable than there would not be so many recalled drugs.

Animals systems are far different than humans. Human diseases do not happen in animals, they are artificially created, therefore not the actual disease. Saying that animals are similar is not enough. If you were in a room and were told the air outside was similar to oxygen, but not quite, would you risk you life and go out? Or if I told you my lottery numbers were similar to the winning ones, would you start congradulating me?

Animals are different in many ways, arsenic can be ingested in great amounts by sheep, but would kill any human.

Animals testing lies, Animals and humans differ in medically important ways, and often animal experiments can produce misleading results. For example, repeated animal studies failed to demonstrate a correlation between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. As a result, public warnings about the dangers of cigarette use were delayed, despite a wealth of compelling human data. Likewise, animal experiments in stroke research led to false conclusions, misleading researchers and wasting time and research funds. Of the 25 drugs which appeared to reduce the effects of stroke in rodents, not a single one worked in human patients.

Species are different and result differ among humans and animals. For example, liver tumors can be induced via chemicals in mice, but the same chemicals do not induce cancer in rats or hamsters. Benzedrine causes bladder tumors in humans, liver tumors in hamsters and middle ear tumors in rats

Animal experimentation has not helped people nearly as much as it has thwarted progress in the life sciences. Because animal research often gives false or misleading results, it wastes valuable time, often delaying life-saving treatments while rushing questionable and possibly harmful therapies to the marketplace. Some of our most significant breakthroughs in medicine have been made without animals. These include x-rays, MRIs and CT scans.

What needs to be done is focus on the people that have developed the disease. Computer technology has come a long way. There are models, programs, etc. The choice here is not between babies and dogs, it's about real science and fake science

Answer 2

Animal testing is wrong in soooo many ways! People purposely harm and test deadly chemicals on poor helpless animals! Animals get killed because of it! Search up animal testing and go look for yourself. You'll see all the cons. Animal testing itself is a con. Do you seriously not know the cons of animal testing?its animal abuse!!

Answer 3

It's unreliable. Human bodies are different to animal bodies. And of course its morally wrong. We should be ashamed that society allows such a thing.

Answer 4

Are you kidding? Everything! Unless you like to see animals in pain and helpless....

Answer 5

Every creature was created out of some reasonable reasons,so nobody has the right to tell them out of the justified way of living..
