arguments

=__**Arguments**__= =Evidence for the fact that medical testing on animals is not acceptable is hard to come by, but a study proved that it has been largely unproductive. Some of the cures that they're trying to find by testing on animals won't work, because some of the diseases we have the animals can't get.=

 * = Evolutionary theory and scientific evidence tell us that animals-from mice to monkeys- possessall the same characteristics that make it repungnant to to experiment on humans without their consent. Animals who are locked in laboritories just like dogs and cats with whom we share our homes, have their own lives and preferences and experiences pain, suffering and pleasure. They express empathy whenother animals are in distress, and they exhibit altruism putting themselves in harms rather than allow a friend or relative to suffer. they are sons daughters mothers fathers sister and brothers.

 * = Claims that animal testing has or will lead to cures for every human ailment are powerful but there is little scientific evidence to back them up. One review of 76 animal research papers concluded that “patients and physicians should remain cautious about extrapolating the findings of prominent animal research to the care of human disease”. ||= Pruce David can the use of animals in medical research ever be justified? the independent 21 June 2011 8.

 * = We are still using animal methods developed in the 1940s to test the safety of ever more sophisticated biologically targeted drugs. Switching to modern, humane research will improve the quality and humanity of our science. ||= Pruce David can the use of animals in medical research ever be justified? the independent 21 June 2011 8.

 * = Animals don't get a choice, whereas humans do. Humans can get paid to do it if they want to as well. Animals go blind, some go through severe pain and it would be torture for them. A lot of experiments are tested on animals like rats and mice, rats and mice are nothing like humans! So how do we know that it will have the same effect on people? I think this is not acceptable and it should be stopped. ||= "A Debate on Animal Testing." knowledgeSutra.com, 09-13-2008 . Web. 1 Nov 2011. . ||= Lyndesey ||  ||=   ||=   ||
 * = In practice, as everyone knows, animals are not routinely treated well by animal experimenters. Apart from the fact that millions of animals die each year in experiments, others are often not adequately anaesthetised and are abused by handlers and experimenters. It is idealistic to suppose that this will ever stop as long as society endorses vivisection. ||= Dixon, Thomas. "Animal Experimentation Arguments." 06-28-2000. Web. 1 Nov. 2011. . ||= Lyndesey ||
 * = Each year, more than 100 million animals—including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds—are killed in U.S. laboratories for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing; biology lessons; medical training; and curiosity-driven experimentation. Before their deaths, some are forced to inhale toxic fumes, others are immobilized in restraint devices for hours, some have holes drilled into their skulls, and others have their skin burned off or their spinal cords crushed. In addition to the torment of the actual experiments, animals in laboratories are deprived of everything that is natural and important to them—they are confined to barren cages, socially isolated, and psychologically traumatized. The thinking, feeling animals who are used in experiments are treated like nothing more than disposable laboratory equipment. ||= Collins, Francis.

 * = Besides saving countless animal lives, alternatives to animal tests are efficient and reliable. Unlike crude, archaic animal tests, non-animal methods usually take less time to complete, cost only a fraction of what the animal experiments that they replace cost, and are not plagued with species differences that make extrapolation difficult or impossible. Effective, affordable, and humane research methods include studies of human populations, volunteers, and patients as well as sophisticated //in vitro//, genomic, and computer-modeling techniques. ||= "Alternatives: Testing Without Torture." //Animals Used For Experminentation//. n. page.

 * = It is said that an estimated 50,000 animals die due to the testing on them that Proctor and Gamble performs on them every year. “Secretly-filmed video evidence of P&G sponsored experiments at Huntingdon Life Sciences (a major multi-national contract animal testing company) shows the brutal treatment and killing of 48 monkeys.” (Murray-West, R, 2005) One other business that performed testing on animals was IAMS. I know, you wouldn’t think that a company that made food for your pet to keep them healthy would test on animals much like your pets. Some of the tests that IAMS performed were:
 * 28 female cats had their abdomens cut open and solution injected repeatedly into their bowels.
 * 24 young dogs were given kidney failure by the removal of one kidney and the damaging of the other. All the dogs were killed after being fed an experimental diet and their kidneys analyzed.
 * 18 young Great Danes were fed on differing diets and at eighteen months of age. Their bones from their front and back right legs were cut out and then stressed until they broke. Pigs were also used in similar experiments. ||= "Animal Testing." //Animals should not be used for medical experimentation//. n. page.
