7 Reasons to Stop Animal Testing

Animals are living beings who have feelings, thoughts, and emotions just like humans. They want to live, they want to be happy, and they want to enjoy their lives just as much as we do. But when it comes to testing cosmetics or personal care products on animals, the companies that produce them think only about what’s best for business. If you believe that animals should never suffer because of human greed.
If you are agree that It's time to stop testing on animals, then please read on!

1. Pain and Suffering

Pain and Suffering that experimental animals are subject to is not worth any possible benefits to humans.The pharmaceutical industry uses approximately 2,500 different types of animals in testing their drugs. These tests involve everything from mice to monkeys to dogs to pigs to cows to sheep to goats to horses to chickens to rats to rabbits to guinea pigs to hamsters to gerbils to zebrafish to goldfish to turtles to frogs to fish to snakes to lizards to birds to insects...and the list goes on. There are many ethical reasons to end animal testing. One of the biggest is the fact that many of these animals suffer immensely before they die. Many of them undergo painful procedures such as blood draws and biopsies, often without anesthesia. Others spend years in cages, unable to touch or play with other animals. And some are even forced to live out their lives in tiny spaces while scientists conduct invasive studies on their bodies.

2. Impregnated Or Castrated

Another big problem with animal testing is that many of the animals are bred specifically for experimentation. Female animals are impregnated via artificial insemination or surgically implanted with embryos. Male animals may be castrated or chemically castrated.

3. Outdated

Animal testing is outdated. We already know how to effectively test drugs on humans. More than 80 percent of prescription medications are tested on human subjects first. If they fail, then they are tested on animals. But, there are still plenty of drugs that have never been tested on people, so there is always room for improvement.

4. Unnecessary

Animal testing is unnecessary. Over the past few decades, scientists have developed alternative methods for studying drugs. These alternatives include computer models, cell cultures, and clinical trials.

5. Cruelty

Animal testing is cruel. When we force animals to endure pain for our own benefit, we are actually causing them harm. Animal testing is unethical. Most countries have banned animal testing due to its cruelty and ineffectiveness.

6. Ineffective

Animal testing is ineffective. Scientists often use animals to test the toxicity of substances that could potentially harm humans. Unfortunately, these animals do not accurately predict.

7. Expensive

Animal testing is expensive, not only it does take time and money to raise and kill these animals, but the facilities where the test occur need constant maintanance and repair. studies estimate that the total cost of running animal labs is around $1 billion per anum.
