Help the innocent, stop animal testing

Animals should not be tested on. There are lots of health effects, inaccurate results, and sadness. What is animal testing? Animal testing is when scientists bring animals into laboratories. They test unnecessary products onto animals to make sure the products are safe. Sometimes, the testing does not go that well... Animals should not be tested on because sometimes the testing results are inaccurate. For example, if some animals are tested and it turns out that the product is safe, it does not mean it is safe on humans. Humans have a different body. Also, if the products are dangerous on animals it may be safe on humans. Did you know that scientists know how to cure cancer in mice but not humans or other animals, (This shows that animal testing is not always reliable for humans. According to Cruelty-Free International, “It is not surprising to find that treatments showing ‘promise’ in animals rarely work in humans. Not only are time, money and animals’ lives being wasted (with a huge amount of suffering), but effective treatments are being mistakenly discarded and harmful treatments are getting through.” This shows that sometimes the testing is false	Another devastating effect of animal testing is death. When tested on some animals, they can get major types of heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, etc. Sometimes if the product is extremely dangerous to animals it can cause them to die! According to a reporter from PETA“Each year, more than 100 million animals—including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds—are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing.” Isn’t that so many animals that died from the terrible act of animal testing. Imagine getting taken out of your home to be tested on different products. Then the products may cause you to die. Isn’t that terrible? Well, that's exactly what happens to animals when they get dragged into Laboratories. Also, if the animals are suffering they put a gas-filled with anesthesia in a chamber and put the animals in there after animal testing. From anesthesia, the animals sadly die. Also, scientists don’t want animals to suffer. Lastly, animals should have freedom. Animals are like humans, they should be able to have the rights that humans have. For example, people would never drag other people into their laboratories. But people do drag animals into the laboratory! People also care about animals. Some people may get really upset thinking about innocent animals getting supplied with dangerous products. Some people may say“ People have different feelings for animals; many look upon animals as companions while others view animals as a means for advancing medical techniques or furthering experimental research.” But everyone should love animals because animals are an important part of our lives. Without animals, we would not have the protein we need in our foods. Life and history would be so different without animals. In conclusion, animals should not be tested on. Some of the tests are false and animals are important to our lives. Also, animals do not want to die. To help stop animal testing, you can adopt an animal from an animal shelter. When some animals get adopted from the animal shelter, some people may not want them. If the animals are sitting there too long, they end up using the animals for animal testing. Let's help stop animal testing!
