Animal testing is useless, more than 80 percent of tests carried out from animal testing do not actually provide results that are any use to scientists.
Animal testing is useless
A. 1. More than 80 percent of tests carried out from animal testing do not actually provide results that are any use to scientists.
2. Examples are chimpanzees do not develop AIDS when they are infected with HIV positive.
B. 1. The use of animal models will never provide results that are perfectly relevant to man.
2. We can find out all we need to know from careful observation of patients and the identification computers and cell culture test.
C. 1. Animal research gives misleading information making medicines when they are not, that?s why medicine have unexpected side effects.
2. Once a popular diet drug, fenphen, in animals it showed no serious side effects, however, in humans, this drug causes several high profile cases of heart-valve defects prompting its withdrawal from the market.
Animals are tortured.
A. Researchers had proven that most of the lab animals get frightened when there?re people coming near them.
B. Usually, when animals are frightened of people that means they must have faced many bad memories with scientists.
C. 1. Some cruel things many scientists do are punching dogs in the head and cutting off mice heads. These terrible acts are being done in front of other caged animals which cause stress to the animals and therefore, the testing becomes meaningless.
2. Researchers had researched that during the night when after the animals were being tested (finding medicine on cancer), these animals act like what lunatics do.
Animal testing is cheaper, and results are faster.
A. In cancer studies, animal test of a single substance may take four to eight years and cost four hundred thousand dollars or more, whereas short-term non-animal studies cost as little as two hundred to four thousand dollars and can be completed in just days.
B. 1. When the research progress is expensive, the products are also expensive.
2. Slower results lead to slower development.
C. In 1985, the EPA determined that three animal tests had not shown sufficient degree of danger in the pesticide Alar, and it is called on the manufacturer to conduct still more cancer studies on animals. Until now, the results are still incomplete.
Sometimes these little mice, dogs, or other animals have no use with the society. Therefore we should make a use on them. I don?t think scientists put some experimental substance into animal throats, some substances injected into skin, rectum and vagina, or forcibly inhaled through a gas mask is a good thing. I know that we must not always believe in what computer says, but think about animals we are actually testing in animals not humans.
Companies should stop animal testing, because that is torturing animals and besides, we are not actually researching about humans but we are researching about animals. I am not saying that we must test on humans, but we can research with the use of technologies like rational drug design, which can analyze the chemical compositions of drugs to predict how they will react when given to people.
