 Human products tested on animals to see if they are
safe for humans to use.
 All animal testing is done for the benefits of humans.
 People want to make sure that if the product is
unsafe for the humans, then it wont be put on
market
 So we humans take animals, and put them in labs
 Animal experiments can be misleading. An animal's
response to a drug can be different to a human's
 Successful alternatives include test tube studies on
human tissue cultures, statistics and computer
models
 The stress that animals endure in labs can affect
experiments, making the results meaningless
 Basically, no it doesn’t work to what we expect it to,
so its useless to continue
 Yes some people may agree that animal testing would
be great for MEDICAL RESEARCH
 Sure it sounds great, by looking for new cures on
horrible diseases
 Not wasting another human life
 But in the long run, its not worth it.
 The animals are treated to poorly to fully understand
what drug would work, or what doesn’t work
 Not to mention the cost of it all!
 It cost an enormous amount of money to test on
animals, they have a huge list of things they have to
do.
 Also some scientist are coming up with ways to test
without using the animals
 It would probably be Human testing
 Every single day more than 38,000 animals are used
to test cosmetics, toiletries like toothpaste and
shampoo, and household detergents and cleaners.
 The FDA and Consumer Product Safety Commission
DOES NOT require them to be tested on animals.
 Well sometimes they will hold the animals for a
couple of weeks
 Like if they were testing for make up
 They would let the animal set for about a week, to see
what side effects the animal would have
 And if it does hurt them, then they are tossed into
bags and actually thrown away
 Belgium, Netherlands, U.K. are countries that banned
animal testing
 Europe is slowly banning products that use animals
to test them
 And also, Europe has decided not to take any kind of
make up product or perfume that has been tested on
animals
 So mainly, testing is only here in the USa
 Mice
 Rabbits
 Dogs
 Guinea pigs
 Cats
 Monkey’s
 Other animals are also used
 Well most of the time companies would pay breeders
to send them some of there dogs, cats. Etc
 Other times they are taken from the pound, or off the
streets
 Even some would go to extreme levels and take
monkeys from their habitats because we share
 Mainly the same molecular structure.
 Well in short terms, they mainly take the animals into a
room
 Lock them up so they basically cant move, or either
sedate them long enough
 Then they will apply or inject what ever they need tested
 Its cruel and immoral what some of the scientist would
do to some of these animals.
 If they needed to they would pull back the fur and skin
of it and apply make up, or put a little perfume on the
area
 It's impossible to know exactly how many animals are
being used in research because U.S. laws do not
require scientists to report how many mice, rats, or
birds they use.
 The animals that scientists do have to report using in
experiments include dogs, cats, sheep, hamsters,
guinea pigs, and primates.
 That means, that scientist can take any number of
animal (besides endangered species) to “practice on”
 People need to understand that what we are doing to
these animals is cruel and not fair
 Nobody would want to be taken from their homes and
taken to a lab just to get tested on
 Just like people feel pain, animals feel it too.
 Sure we need to know what could harm us or not,
but why would we need such harsh chemicals?
 To make us look good?
 Smell better?
 If we need harsh chemicals to make us look better, or
feel better about ourselves, then we need to test
humans.
 Human testing would be much more efficient because
then we would know exactly what would be alright to
use
 And what we couldn’t use
 Time to give the animals a BREAK.
 Do you like to get hurt? Neither do they.
