Animal Testing

As I know that this topic is a sensitive one and one which many hold close to their hearts I would like to state arguyments both for and against this and finish with a clear evaluation with the aim of educating people further on this topic and aiding them in making their own decision. 1) Every day, thousands of people are saved from painful diseases and death by powerful medical drugs and treatments. This incredible gift of medicine would not be possible without animal testing. However, in response to this you could argue that despite the overwhelming benefits of animal testing, some people are calling for animal testing to be banned because of alleged ...  Read the complete review

Some my friends hate me, they think i do not have right to test medicines on animal( I am studying pharmacy) and i should feel quilty. Indeed, I feel guilty because I have no choice and I sometimes i want to cry when I meet the same animals in my uni lab and at home ( I have two guinea pigs). I am deeply concerned about the stress that animals endure in labs and animals right to life as human beings. In my opinion human life has greater value than animal life. I do not respect using animals to test items such as cosmetics or cleaning products. Succesful alternatices can be and should be used like test tube studies on human tissues or computer ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever felt deceived? I had watched videos of animals tortured in laboratories, but had never imagined that I was encouraging these atrocities. My concept of a company that test on animals was a small laboratory in a rural place; this however is not the case! Covergirl? Pantene? Colgate? Kotex? I used these products day by day and was never aware of the dark and bloody stories behind them. I could not sleep after I discovered that most of my cosmetics are cruelly tested on animals. I disposed all of them but still felt guilty. In one of my newly acquired nights of insomnia, I came up with an excellent plan to ease my conscience. I created a petition on ...  Read the complete review

I too am appalled at the thought of the suffering that defenceless creatures go through, for often inane reasons. Picking up a leaflet from a group of activists and seeing the terror that animals suffer, often for unnecessary cosmetic products, I cannot understand how anyone could not be moved. There is always the argument about testing medicines, which will benefit mankind, but I still feel uncomfortable about that. After all why should we be all supreme and creatures so invalid? What I often find shocking about the general ill treatment of animals is that it is often carried out by God fearing people. Working in such laborartories must be one of the most ...  Read the complete review
