Imagine yourself strapped to a table while a person attaches two metal hooks to hold your eye open. Then he uses an eyedropper to put a substance in your eye to estimate the ability of a test substance to irritate or damage the eye. This kind of needless torture happens hundreds of times every day as scientists don’t even care if the animal is suffering. Animal testing should be banned because we don’t need the next eyeliner and we have a different body system than animals.

Claim: My claim is that we should not do animal testing. First Argument:
The first reason why is that they kill animals just to have the next medicine,soap, and food ingredient.

My first piece of evidence: Right now there are millions of animals such as dogs, cats, rats, mice, and primates getting tortured just to get the next product of eyeliner. In a recent article by PETA they said that “More than 100 million animals every year suffer and die in cruel chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics tests”(PETA), just to see if the products work. There are some countries such as Europe are getting away from buying products that were animal tested. China is different, they are continuing to sell animal cosmetics. What are cosmetics? A product applied to the body, especially the face, to improve its appearance. In 2014 “China spent 26.3 billion dollars, just on cosmetics”(Jeanne Kim). This proves that people should not kill animals just to get the next resource.

The second piece of evidence: Animals are suffering mentally and physically in the facilities where they are getting treated. In the “United States there are over 1,100 facilities” where dogs, cats, rats, mice, and primates are suffering from all of the chemicals that are getting put in there body(NHES). At the facilities they to procedures like putting a tube in a animals eye, or forcing animals to take deadly chemicals usually to the point of death. When the animals are waiting for the next painful test they are shaking, spinning in circles and even biting their own skin(PETA). That is why animals are suffering mentally and physically at the facilities where they are getting treated.

Second Argument
The next reason why is that animals and humans have different body systems.

My first piece of evidence to prove this is that the products can cause problems to humans. The Food and Drug Administration reports that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in humans. Many side effects of taking animal tested products could be a skin irritation, cancer, extreme headaches and even death(EPA). Every year there are 200,000 thousand cases of side effects that happened in the US. That is why products that were animal tested causes problems to people.
My second piece of evidence to prove my argument is that we are wasting our own money on bad drugs. There are four main countries that do animal testing. Those countries together spend OVER 40 billion dollars on animal testing. If we didn’t have animal testing their governments could of spent it on kids that need food or places where there is poverty. That is why we don’t need to waste our money on tests that the finishing product won’t even work on us. Now my opponent is going to say _that animal testing can give us new resources but I have evidence to counter this argument. My first piece of evidence to prove this is that most of the medications are lethal to humans. Many people trust the scientists that make the medication, but people should be careful what they take. In a recent study by the leader of the EPA, he said that the medications work on animals but when they are given to humans they are lethal to the human body system. That is why most medications are lethal to humans.My second piece of evidence is it wastes money to do animal testing. The U.S is currently $16.394 Trillion dollars in debt. The U.S is using 16 billion dollars or you could say our tax money to torture animals for the next medicine that causes problems to the human body system. 600 hundred animals costs 8 milion dollars to animal test(PETA). That is why animal testing comes with a price tag.
In conclusion scientists should stop animal testing. My first piece of evidence is that we don’t need to kill animals just to get the next product of handsoap. My evidence to support that is that we are killing millions of dogs, cats and ect. just to get a simple resource. My second piece argument is that humans and animals have different body systems. My evidence to prove this is that the medication will work on a animal system but it will be different for a human body system. That is we don’t need to do animal testing.
