MY FINAL THOUGHTS ON ANIMAL TESTING

Well where do I start.... I suppose everyone has their own thoughts on a topic like this. I myself think it is a horrible cruel thing to do.

These innocent animals get tortured and chemicals put into their bodies all for the purpose of us humans. We are the ones wanting these products so why not test it on us?. I saw images of a rabbit with eyeliner on, it doesn't need to wear eyeliner everyday like some women, but instead it goes through the testing procedure and pain of the chemicals reacting in order for women to be able to wear it. I'm sure there can be some other solution to get away from testing on animals like say someone dies they donate their organs right; Well why can't we use some of their parts for testing? It's just the same as donating your organs, they don't need them anymore. Does anyone else agree? or have another method of testing products, NOT including animals?

On a happier note I must say though animal testing has cut down a lot over the years, but I would like to see each and every product with the label on the back saying "Not Tested On Animals"

PROS AND CONS OF ANIMAL TESTING

Below is a interesting link that is worth reading. It's about people's thoughts on the Pros and Cons of animal testing. I found it interesting because it has two different points of view..

I found a lot of interesting information.

INFORMATION ON ANIMAL TESTING THAT MAY CHANGE YOUR MIND.

FACTS ON ANIMAL TESTING.....

I have found many interesting facts on animal testing to support my argument againist it. Below is just some of many interesting facts I came across.


1) A scientist said that there is no actual figure, but he thinks roughly 10 million animals are used in toxicity testing each year, mainly mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and then lesser numbers of dogs, monkeys and other species. Roughly 10 million animals are used?? that is a very large number of animals going through hell for us to have "safe" make up and cleaning products!.

2) It is unethical- animals are gassed, poisoned, given diseases, crowded, beaten, starved, injured and so forth in labs, often for reasons of mere interest. Animals are often taken from their wild habitats and forced into small cages where they will spend their lives being tested on until they are killed. Which I think is horrible because they are being taken out of their habitats and they have no voice to stand up for themselves so we who are against animal testing need to speak up and speak for these animals.

3) Tests of cosmetic products on rabbits and mice will soon be banned after European scientists announced that most experiments can now be carried out using non-animal alternatives.
The switch will spare almost 20,000 rabbits a year and 240,000 mice from a life of misery in the laboratory. Scientists say the new tests will actually provide a more reliable way of checking the safety of chemicals in everyday products such as makeup and washing-up liquid.

4) STATISTICS

There are approximately 56 to 100 million cats and 54 million dogs in the US.

It is estimated that every hour 2,000 cats and 3,500 dogs are born.

Between 10.1 and 16. 7 million dogs and cats are put to death in pounds and shelters annually.

Approximately 17-22 million animals are used in research each year.

Approximately 5 billion are consumed for food annually.

Approximately 1.1% of dogs and cats from pounds and shelters, that would otherwise be
euthanized, are used in research.

Fewer than one dog or cat is used for research for every 50 destroyed by animal pounds.

Rats, mice and other rodents make up 85-90% of all research animals.

Only 1 to 1.5% of research animals are dogs and cats.

There has been a 40% decrease in the numbers of animals used in biomedical research and
testing in the US since 1968

Approximately:
61% of animals used suffer no pain

31% have pain relieved with anesthesia

6% experience pain, as alleviation would compromise the validity of the data. Much of this work is directed at an understanding of pain. All above is
(statistics,animal testing,1998-2005)

These statistics pretty much sum it all up.

COMPANIES THAT TEST THIER PRODUCTS ON ANIMALS.......

Animal testing is a cruel way for us humans to have the products that WE use tested on animals to make sure that we don't react to the chemicals used in the products. This link below is a site that tells you what companies are still performing cruel testing.. www.thevegetariansite.com/ethics_test.htm


So when you are next out shopping maybe think of this lists and not buy the brands that still test on animals.
