How does animal testing
benefit people? Does it affect the animals in a bad way? Should we stop testing
on animals completely? Should we only test on animals if it is going to help
cure a disease or any medical help? Animal testing can be very cruel and effect
animals in more ways than one. When testing on animals, should we only test on
them if it will help solve a medical problem for humans? If people are testing
makeup on animals just to see if it Is compatible, then should we rethink all
of animal testing? I have seen many cruel images of animals being used for
makeup and antibiotic testing and it does show how bad the test affects them.
What if some medicines affect animals but not people? Or just any testing is
completely different when we use it on animals instead of humans, should we
leave the animals alone or keep testing on them? I believe we should only test
on animals for medical reasons and to help find cures not just to enhance our
beauty. If people are testing animals to help them see if their makeup products
are good, then I could understand why we should not test on animals. Having
tests that are not necessarily needed in the world then I believe we should end
animal testing. Many animals get sick, injured, or even die by just being tested
on with cosmetic products. They suffer when any testing is being used on them. So,
should they even be tested on even if it does help in the medical field? If thousands
and millions of animals are dying should all of animal testing be finished with?
Or should we only test on animals that do not benefit with the earth or on animals
that will no longer be extinct and never run out, like rats for example. Rats
are one of the main animals that are being tested on. Should we continue to
breed animals for testing just like rabbits? Should we only test on rats knowing
they have such a huge population? Or do we continue to do research on monkeys
since they are more like human beings? The question one needs to ask one’s self
is what really are the benefits to animal testing? And can we continue to do
the testing’s if no actual harm comes to the animal?
The image that I have shown
is a rabbit that was being tested on with cosmetics and it shows how the skin
got irritated and what can happen if the product does not work for them. So,
does animal testing really need to happen or is there a way we can make animal
testing nonexistent?
ReplyDeleteI thought your first blog post was fairly intriguing. I believe the questions you are asking are very important. One question that is humanity related; why are we doing this? I'm sure neither party likes it. It pains the animal and puts the human in a very uncomfortable situation. I also find the moral dilemma that we humans have put ourselves into very interesting. I want to further follow your research to figure out if we have found any solutions to this. I think this was a very good topic to pick. It asks a lot of questions that I feel should be discussed. However, if you do end up looking into solutions, I feel like it'll be difficult to find any.
I found your whole blog very interesting but, the most interesting part about it was when you shared your opinion that we should only test animals for medical reasons since this actually can benefit people. A big question that I would like to see brought to attention would be, what would we do instead of animal testing? I would say that I agree with your entire post since I am against causing harm to animals, though I would wonder what alternatives we would be able to use instead of testing animals.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog very interesting and intriguing. I think everyone always questions on animal cruelty and like to see on what are the benefits in animal testing. Like how do we benefit in see the animal in pain benefit us? I found so interesting how you mentioned that testing on animals would be differently if we tested on them for medical reason to find cures and not because of our beauty. Some questions you can add to your research are what are other options we can do instead of doing animal testing? And what are products that involve animal testing? I agree that we should only be able to do animal testing if it’s for medical reasons and not just to look better.
ReplyDeleteIn Post One, I like that you begin with how cruel animal testing is, and then mention that the practice be done only if medically necessary. I would like to know more about breeding for testing, or some statistics on results of animal testing. Is there an alternative to testing products on animals?
