Animal Experimentation

Animals have been used to test a wide variety of products from household products to dangerous medical treatments. Although treatments like this have been helpful to humans and kept us safe; many people believe animals have the same rights as humans. People also say that animals should not be allowed to be used in such way that will not be beneficial to them. In some cases it has also been said that animals are being mistreated in the labs while going through the experiments.

Animals deserve to have the same rights as humans do. They do not deserve to be tested with all of these chemicals and household products, as well as medical treatments. None of this benefits the animals themselves. How do we know that animal is going to have the same reaction to a product as a human, realistically this can harm us in a way as well. In my eyes animal experimentation is cruelty to all of the animals that are used in a lab.

Why should these animals be used in such way that is not beneficial to them? One product that is used on animals is make-up. A product that is not needed by humans, but is used because we want it. There is no reason what so ever to have to test make up on animals in the lab, it is not a product that is needed to survive, it’s a want, not a need. Half of these products that are used on animals are not important to humans.

The pain and suffering that animals are put through is disgusting. Some being abused, others with very little food and water. They live their life in a cage every day. The way they are treated would never be tolerated if it were to be just a regular person with them, but because of the degree these people have it automatically make it okay for them to suffer. No animal deserves to be treated like that, whether it be in a home or a lab. It is a form of abuse and in my eyes should have an end put to it.

In conclusion some tests are useful such as medical treatment, but to bring in household products such as cleaning products is ridiculous. Has it been proved that an animal is going to have the same reaction to a product as a human? If medical products are being used and they get a certain reaction for an animal, what happens when they come across the situation of a human dying because the animal didn’t have the same reaction to the medicine as the human did. People don’t realize it but it is putting people in danger also. Many people find this to be animal abuse and I can see why, and it needs to be stopped.
