Animal Testing

Animals get tested on varieties of products such as makeup products, household products

like dish soap, and they also get tested on vaccinations. The products don’t get applied on the

animals being tested, the products get injected into the animals. It is unsafe to the animals and

cause harm to them. Healthy animals get tested on majority of popular products that humans use

every day. Animals shouldn’t be used for scientific or commercial testing, it is unsafe and can

cause harm towards them, animal drug tests have failed the human clinic trial, and products that

are testing on animals have fewer natural ingredients and have more chemicals.

Animals are sent to a laboratory and are locked in a small cage, that can cause the animal

to be stressed and scared. Animals are very fragile compared to humans, a small amount of stress

from being isolated, harmed, and being trapped can kill them. The products that get injected into

the animals harm them; animals have suffered a lot from getting a large portion of products

injected into them. All the animals that are tested can threaten them from living, “These tests can

be painful and dangerous and typically, once the experiment is complete animals are killed.”

(Henderson 4). Animal testing has a lot of negative side affects towards the animals and can lead

to their death, it is also inhumane and selfish to put animals at risks for humans’ sakes.

Some animals have similar DNA to humans. Animals have been tested on drugs and it

failed the trials, which means it is also unsafe for human’s health. Although, a drug test can pass

on animals, but it could be different for humans, “As a result, treatments for depression,
 Lara 2

schizophrenia, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, and other disorders may be very helpful in mice but would

fail to treat the diseases in humans.” (Zimmerman 3). Every human has a different side effect on

diseases and different genetics, it wouldn’t matter on testing on animals. Animals lose their lives

for nothing, and the trials fail to keep humans safe.

Products that are animal cruelty free have more plant-based ingredient and less chemicals

in the products. Animal cruelty free products are beneficial for both animals and humans, and

that also means that animals won’t get harmed and giving money to a good company that cares

for animals. It also has a lot of benefits for keeping the animals safe, the earth and environment

clean. Wasting money on companies that abuse animals would motivate them more on abusing

animals and making more products, while companies that don’t abuse animals can also put their

money for the good, “We’ve put together this guide to cruelty-free choices because every

purchase you make, and every meal you cook, is another opportunity to make this world kinder

for the animals we all love and to put an end to businesses relying on a cruelty to make a profit.”

(Animal cruelty free guide 15). The more people use animal cruelty free products, the more

businesses that abuse animals will lose their profit and run out of business and can decrease

animal endangerment.

It should be noted that animals shouldn’t be used for scientific or commercial testing, it is

not safe and can cause harm towards them, animal drug tests have failed the human clinic trial,

and products that are testing on animals have fewer natural ingredients and have more chemicals.

There is no good outcome for using products that abuse animals’ safeties, the products are also

very unhealthy for humans. Their product has cheap quality and can cause breakouts, dry scalp,

unhealthy hair, etc. Animal cruelty free products send out a good message and awareness to take

care of animals and to keep them safe. It will have a positive outcome if everyone separates

themselves from products that abuse animals.
