do u oppose or support animal testing?

Question

and why?

Answer 1

I oppose it for the most part. I wouldn't be so harsh on it if the labs would keep better care of their animals. Many of the animals are just locked in small cages. I wish they would give the animals more room to walk around and I wish they would let them interact with each other. I think it would be better if they only animal tested on things that are necessary like medicine and not on trivial things like cosmetics and candy.

Answer 2

Oppose

Would You Like To Be Tortured && Hurt For Make Up Or Whatever Else They Test On Animals

ii Dont Really Think So

So Dont Do It On Animals Just Because There Smaller && Less Capable Of Looking After Themselves

=D

Answer 3

Both...I oppose it for cosmetics and toiletries because it's completely unnecessary to make animals suffer like that. I do believe that animals have rights to and shouldn't be put through dangerous/unnecessary testing. However, when it comes to drugs I think that at times testing a drug that doctors are pretty confident is safe on a small number of animals can make so much difference to the lives of many people. Sufferers of cystic fibrosis, for example, are able to take drugs after animal testing that greatly improve their quality of life and for that reason I can't say that I oppose it completely.

Answer 4

As many as 300 000 animals are experimented on and killed in New Zealand laboratories every year. Animal testing is morally wrong. Should we really be allowing innocent creatures to suffer all through their lives only to die in vain? Often animal experiments can be misleading and wrong conclusions can be drawn, reasons why animals are used for testing contradict themselves and there are successful alternatives that could be used. Thousands of animals suffer from pain each year and many also endure stress. The stress that they undergo can easily affect experiments, which produces unfair results making them meaningless. On top of this an animal’s response to a drug can be different to a humans. This is a potential danger to humans when the drug is used. Animal experiments are misleading and wrong, meaningless conclusions can be drawn. This makes the whole experiment a waste of time and all that has been achieved is hurt, stressed and even dead animals. Animal experimentation rests on large contradiction. When experimenters were asked why they experiment on animals they answered, “Because animals are like us.” When they were asked why it is morally right to test on animals the answer was, “Because they are not like us.” If animals are like us, and most believe this is true, then they suffer from pain, anxiety and have just as much right to life as us. If they are not like us then wrong conclusions can be drawn endangering humans as well as the animals. There is no reason why we should have to test on animals and why it is morally right. Animals should not be used for testing on when there are other options. Animal testing is morally wrong and animals should not suffer from that sort of abuse just as humans shouldn’t. Therefore animal testing should be put to a stop and instead alternatives should be used. Technology is growing and today there are many other alternatives. Successful alternatives include test tube studies on human tissue cultures, statistics and computer models. Using human tissue culture would not only mean that animals would be able to live undisturbed and safely but much more reliable conclusions and results could be drawn making products and medications better and safer for human use. Animal testing is morally wrong and unfair. What reasons are there for animals to suffer such horrible conditions and treatment when wrong conclusions can be drawn and there are alternative methods? Animal testing needs be put to an end and action should begin now.

Answer 5

I oppose it. There are ways around most of it and sometimes the testing they claim "requires" animal testing is "required" to test a medical hypothesis that will not benefit anyone!!! Toxicity varies, so sooner or later you need to test all pharmaceuticals on people. I also went to a Junior Science Symposium and a child of 14 was giving his paper on how he was testing resuscitation on dogs from a eithanasia center - he was stopping their hearts and restarting them - and he had to put leads into their brian to check the results and monitor them - every dog in the test was being killed. Could that have been nastier? This was a kid!!!! Gross, Psycho.

Answer 6

Oppose of course! What sick person will want to hurt a poor dumb animal? I do not understand how those scientists can sleep at night and live with themselves. I would rather give a human an injection than a poor animal...... but the nightmare is that they doing it to those animals right now. . . and the worst part is that I can do nothing about it.

Answer 7

Oppose.

Answer 8

Oppose. There are other ways of testing for the information required, besides torturing animals.

Answer 9

Oppose! Animal testing is cruel and inhumane

Answer 10

Stongly Oppose!!!
Animal testing is wrong and should'nt be done! No product is worth hurting a little animal! How would people feel if we were used for testing? We would be pissd!

Great question! :)
