Should we use animals for scientific tests?
Specialized info
Animals are used to test the safety of cosmetics, vaccines for diseases, house cleaners, etc.
Some tests on animals can be minimal pain or excruciating pain
Some animals after or during experiments are euthanized
History & Background
Early Greek physician-scientists, such as Aristotle, and Erasistratus, were the first to perform experiments on living animals.
An Arab physician introduced animal testing as a method to testing surgical procedures before applying them to human patients.
Scientists have been doing tests, and experiments have been raging since the seventeenth century.
They started to do tests on animals near the 4th and 3rd century.
They started to do animal tests in the US in 1938
Hook
Did you know that over 100 million animals die every year from being tested on?
Have you ever asked yourself, "Should we use animals for scientific tests?"
Thesis Statement
They should stop doing scientific tests on animals because whenever we do animal testing it causes pain and suffering to the animal.
People should stop doing animal tests because when we cause pain for that animal, and they make it through that experiment it could traumatize the animal.
Argument #3 - Animals could eventually get mad and or hurt/harm scientists doing the experiment or others
Could harm someone and their family
Could permanently scar that human that has been harmed
A dangerous animal could get out and risk other lives
Argument #1 - Stopping animal testing can save over a 50 million animals a year.
Saving animals from being killed
Saving animals from being in pain
Possibly could save humans because humans and animals aren't always the same
Argument #2 - If we continue animal testing on species that species could go endangered
Food from some animals
Trees that are cared for by that animal
Animals going endangered could starve other animals
