What is Animal Testing?
Animal testing is the use of animals in scientific experiments.
Most animal testing is done by universities, pharmaceutical
companies, and medical schools.
Most animals used for research are breed for the specific purpose
of testing and few animals used for testing are captured from the
wild.
Some animal testing is done for basic research such as behavior
studies and genetics while other animal testing is done for the
benefit of humans.
This research includes drug testing, surgical procedures,
medical equipment, and somewhat inconsequential
applications like; cosmetics, and other household products.
Most animals that are used for researched are euthanized
once the experiment is finished.
Animal testing is the most
accurate way to learn the effects
of substances in a living body.
Using cell cultures can only
reveal side effects on a molecular
level and cannot unfortunately,
reveal side effects like organ
failure, rashes, tumors, or cardiac
arrest like animal testing can.
Using computer models cannot
always predict unknown variables
that can be discovered with
animal testing.
Animals may not have the exact
same philology as humans but
animal testing is accurate enough
to test whether a substance is
even safe enough for human
trials.
•Many regulations and laws
are put into place to insure
that animals are treated as
humanly as possible.
•Animal abuse is rare in
animal testing facilities.
• Researchers are looking for
the best possible solutions to
medical problems.
Those who argue for animal testing point
out all the amazing breakthroughs that
have already come from animal testing
research such as organ transplant and
open-heart surgery techniques; life saving
drugs; effective insulin and cancer
treatments; and vaccines for deadly
diseases like polio, rabies, rubella, and
tuberculosis.
Animal testing
also benefits the
lives of animals
such as the
heartworm
medicine that has
saved many dogs
lives.
