Should we use animals for scientific tests?
Specialised Information
Animal Testing is the practice of using animals for scientific testings
Animal Testing Practices
exposing animals to radiation
removing organs or parts of the body
injecting harmful chemicals into the body
subjecting animals to frighting situations that lead to severe trauma
Doing this to an animal can lead to death, severe trauma, lots of pain and suffering, and deformations of the animal
History and Background
In the 17th century, many philosophers believed that animals could not feel pain, and did live vivisection's (when they explore the body with the animal being awake and reactive)
Early Greek-physicians/scientists wanted to use animals so they could test things without hurting human kind
Over the years, the scientific tests got a lot worse, and scientists were using many different species
People have been using animals for scientific test for CENTURIES
When these things started to happen, many people still did not think this was right and were against it
In 1874, Queen Victoria mentioned that she is against this
There are tons of organisations working to help end this
Thesis
It is extremely cruel, and hurts animals in unimaginable ways
Animals should NOT be used for animal testing
Animals deserve rights, and do not deserve to be used or treated as objects in a lab. They deserve freedom just as much as we do
Hook
“We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves.”
― Cesar Chavez
Why do we do this, when Animals are just like us? They have feelings, they have a life that they should be able to live in freedom, not in a lab.
Arguments
1
It causes lots of pain a suffering to the animals used
These animals are forced to undergo sever trauma that can scar them for their entire life
2
Animals do not have the same body system as us
Animals aren't able to contract certain diseases as humans
3
90% of the drugs used in animal testing fail when used on humans
Unreliable chemicals are injected into the animals when they don't even work
Most of the drugs injected can be illegal and also are very harmful to not only animals, but also humans
Animals are forced to take in these drugs
