The Down Side of Animal Testing
Animal Testing has quite a few downsides. Some of the negative information about animal testing is that the animals that are used are in some cases not taken care for, and if they are, not as well as they should be. In conclusion to that the testers would lock the animals in cages for severals days up to weeks. There is not a lot of food provided for the animals during the testing because it could effect the results at the end. In occasions, the animals that are taken into testing can develop allergic reactions to the product that they are being tested for, along with burns and rashes. 17-22 million animals each year are used in reaserch. That majority is made up of animals from shelters that are taken out for reaserch, and also made from animals that are bred for only the purpous of research. The companies that reaserch not using animals are more acurate than the companies that do use animals. This is a con because they pay less for not using animals. The animals that are used never really get a chance at real life unless they were taken from a shelter. When animals are taken from shelters it is a down side because they could have gotten adopted sooner or later. The majority of cosmetic companies continue to rely their reaserch on the animals exept for most natural products. Also most companies don't actually have a label on the back that tells if the specific product is tested on animals. So that doesn't help us find out what companies protesters want to buy from.When animals are tested, sometimes it doesn't bring the same results as it would on a human, which would minimize the purpose of the animal testing. In cosmetic testing, a little more than 50 percent of animals used in testing die in two to three weeks of the testing, this is a con because a majority of animal testing is used for cosmetics. Some times the testing fails and harms humans, which would defeat the purpose of testing the animals in the first place. Some of the time the sickness includes cancers and HIV. There are many cons, as you can see, to animal testing but its your desicion what point of view you stand for.
