being an animal lover, moreover, I am interested in the ethics of product testing on animals. What I discovered was both shocking and cruel.

Although Libby was not an old dog when she was rescued, she had severe tooth decay and was terribly emaciated. Her body was desperately trying to fend of the parasitic hookworms and tapeworms that lived
Animals have contributed to the pursuit of scientific knowledge for centuries, but what is left out of this glorification of their use is that most of them died or suffered for that pursuit. One of the earliest documentations of animal testing took place in a place where human dissection was unacceptable, Ancient Greece. It is stated in Stephane Liou’s “The Ethics of Animal Experimentation” that from that time, the use of animals increased exponentially after humans continued the benefits of it (Liou)
Millions of animals are used in experimental researches and laboratories each year. Thousands of millions of dollars are spent yearly on such experiments that mostly fail on humans, which makes it a huge waste of money and a waste of animal lives. Some researchers claim that humane animal research does not exist and is not possible to achieve but the truth is that there are in fact new non animal research methods that are a lot cheaper and are definitely more effective and accurate. If these methods
innovations. Animal research, in particular, has played a key role in many medical advances in the recent past and continues to assist in the understanding of various illnesses. Organizations that support the use of animals in the field of medicine, such as the British Royal Society. It argues that almost every medical achievement made in the 20th century was due to the use of animals in one way or another. The Institute for Laboratory Animal Research of the United States also shows that animal testing is
Rachael Fryer 12 C Is animal testing in the beauty industry ethically justifiable? Introduction: Animal Testing is defined as the use of non-human animals in research and development projects, especially for purposes of determining the safety of substances such as food or drugs for human consumption. The hypothesis is that animal testing cannot be justified. Justifiable is defined as able to be shown to be right or reasonable. Based on this definition one is able to gather what constitutes
this to animals, animals feel pain the same ways humans do? Animals feel like they're being abducted by another life form, and being experimented on. Animals feel pain like humans do physically, and mentally. But, it's fine it's not humans being taken from their families and injected with harmful chemicals.

Animal testing is a methodology implemented to identify the effectiveness of a drug on any animal before issuing it to humans. Animal testing was commonly practiced from the age of Greeks themselves. Some historical figureheads who made use of animal testing are Aristotle, Erasistratus and Galen (Hajar,R., 2011). Without animal testing there can be severe consequences, for example, in 1937 a pharmaceutical establishment in the USA manufactured a medicine. The manufacturer did not know that one of
ANIMAL RIGHTS VERSUS MEDICAL RESEARCH Animal experimentation is the use of animals in scientific research and animal rights is the idea that some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings. The 'modern' era of animal research started about 150 years ago with the rise of physiology as a science. Every year in the world, millions of animals are used in testing for medical research. Animal
