Is animal testing a bad idea?

Question

I mean.... what if they give the wrong answers?

Answer 1

Animals can do quite well on select questions. For example:
I asked my dog how sandpaper feels...response ..Ruff

I asked my duck what the defect in the sidewalk was....answer... Quack

I asked my cat what it was doing on the table and it gave me an F. you look. Sufficient anwser and par for cats.

I asked my horse how to vote on proposition 13 and he told me ..... nay.

Tell a joke to a hyena...if it laughs you know it's funny.

Ask an elephant what his favorite musical insturment is and he'll trumphet. If it's silent then it's not musically inclined.

You see they know stuff, you just have to ask the right questions.

Answer 2

Well, of course that it's an unfair thing to animals, but if we don't do that, how are we gonna test the products and know if they will be good to us or not? We could test those products in sick people that are almost dying, but since they are sick (and their cells are changing), they would have a different reaction and we would never know if those products would be good or bad to us, so I guess that it's not a bad idea...even though I feel sorry for those poor animals.

Answer 3

as an animal activist i am totally against animal testing!do you know that they test cosmetics on rabbits' eyes?..and they scream in pain?cosmetics should be made from natural ingredients!cosmetic testing should be banned!that's why always buy products that haven't been tested on animals!
on the other hand,if they test on a rat sth that will save the lives of people and animals,then i would have to agree...but even then they do so many futile tests,so many unnecessary tests,and that is just torturing those poor animals..rabbits,cats,dogs,guinea pigs.....and even rats..rats are very intelligent...i feel so sorry for them!just do the tests that are absolutely necessary..i say!

Answer 4

What if it provided the right answer for saving your child's life?

You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs. I don't believe for a second that animal testing is done just for fun.

Answer 5

its all about opportunity cost!!...as in are we gaining more or losing more... !! are we able to save more lives cause of it or are we hurting, abusing animals more so.. as a animal activist i would be completely against it but i kinda do like people too and if we can save some maybe its worth it* .. the real question i guess comes down to is....is testing a rat and turning its skin green worse then losing a patient maybe even a mother of lets see 3 kids young ones..from ummm cancer....so is it worth it ??

Answer 6

If they give too many wrong answers, they simply get a failing grade. Remedial classes are not out of the question, though.

Answer 7

Of course it is a bad idea. Harming the animals for no good reason.

Answer 8

I keep my cat from being tested because he is a mondo retard. Instead I'm all "hey where's the cheese?" and then I drop it on the ground and he eats it and then I'm like "yay you won the cheese test!" He doesn't, you know, speak English but I can tell he's happy. Yeah.

Answer 9

LoL. Depends on the test.

Though I am not against testing on animals.

Answer 10

animal sorting out, in a attitude of scientific bias, does not be a undesirable theory as we detect new and a great form of issues from such experiments that could desire to be utilized to our species. even regardless of the undeniable fact that, while appearing animal sorting out, we could desire to strictly abide to the guidelines advertising and preserving the welfare of the animals. have a advantageous day! (make it 9 stars..) ^_^
