When people hear the words "Animal testing", they think of different animals being used to test different products before tested on a human. That is correct but it's more than that. Different procedures are used to study how a product effects the health or enviroment. The animals that are being tested are mice, dogs, cats, rabbits, mini-pig, and a lot of other.
Animal testing started in ancient greek. Physician- scientists proformed different surgeries on animals to learn about the different functions of living organisms. Before using animals, they would disent criminals. One of the Physicain-scientists believed that the animals didn't matter because they weren't as intellegant as humans. But his coworker believed differently and that the animals could feel pain, and that bringing pain to animals was an insult to the gods. A Roman philosopher and physician had theories of medicine. His theories were very influential that he began to preform public disections of animals, including an elephant. The people enjoyed it and became a form of entertainment. He used the animals to develop theories on human anatomy.
Many people agree that animal testing is cruel and it needs to stop. It harms and kills many animals. There are many different procedure in animal testing. Such as forced chemical exposure, oral force-feeding, food and water deprivation, purposfull injurys to study the healing, and being killed many different ways. Animal tests take time, which causes the animals to suffer for very long periods of time.
People argue that animal testing is good for medical reasons because of it being used for so long, many medical practices are now used. There's also scientific research saying that animal testing can help develop different medications, antibiotics and immunizations. But otherwise, people believe that animal testing is bad.
My opinion is with everyone elses. Animal testing should be stopped because it's very harmful to the enviroment. They take the animals out of nature, so that reduces that animal's population, and put them under so much stress that they'd rather die. It's just cruel because nobody wants that to happen to them.
Do you think animal testing should be stopped?
Do you think it will be stopped?
Do you think animal testing goes against animal rights?

I think animal testing should be stopped, but I do think it will be stopped. We have many people willing to make good changes in our generation. But we also have to be careful not to change things that are going well in our country. I think animal testing does go against animal rights.
Animal testing will not stop unless we find a better way to test products. Animal testing has got us very far when it comes to medicinal progress. I do not like that animal testing is used, however, we wouldn't be where we are if animal testing was not implemented.
I think that animale testing should be banned because its foreced and its not good for the animals. Its not right if your main task is being usefull for humans they should test on other things than animals. it should be considered a crime
I think animal testing is horrible and should be stoped now. It is so unneccesary and harsh. There are so many other was companys and people can test products to make sure they are safe. I dont think animal testing will be stoped completly but I hope a good chunk of it will be.
I agree that it's cruel and it needs to be stopped.
Yes, animal testing is inhumane, and overall just harsh. There are so many other ways we can test products to make sure they're safe. I don't think it will be stopped completely, but I hope it is for the most part. It should be banned.
