Animal Testing :: Animal Testing

The Problem with Testing Drugs on Animals Every year is that tight 100 million animals die in research laboratories at the hands of curious scientists who perform outdated and inexact tests that prove no well-being to humans or animals. Before these animals die, they are routinely burned, scalded, poisoned, starved, given(p) galvanising shocks, addicted to drugs, subjected to near freezing temperatures, dosed with radioactive elements, driven insane, deliberately inflicted with diseases such as genus Cancer, diabetes, oral infections, stomach ulcers, syphilis, herpes, and AIDS. Their eyes are surgically removed, their brains and spinal cords damaged, and their bones broken. Law does non mandate the manipulation of anesthesia consequently, this is rarely administered. Despite all of this cruelty, not a mavin disease has been cured through vivisection in this century. The overall adult cancer rate has risen in the past 40 years, and a inglorious heart attack strikes a pers on every 45 seconds. The Centers for unsoundness Control estimate that 70-80% of the common diseases killing Americans are preventable given a responsible diet and lifestyle. Drug test on animals is inaccurate and does not benefit humans or animals at all. Animals including, but not limited to, dogs, cats, mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rhesus monkeys, imported primates, owls, deer, sheep, llama, and cattle are commonly used for vivisection. Vivisection is the medical term for the practice of experimenting on animals. Charles River Breeding Laboratories, a company possessed by Bausch and Lomb, provides 40-50% of the animals used in experiments of laboratories. The other be misfortunate animals happen from places a little closer to you and me. Some of them come from animal shelters, some come from the "free to good home" ads in the classified section of the newspaper, and some from unsuspecting people who allow their ally animals to become pregnant. What i s even worse is that some have been stolen directly from their own front yard. Imagine your pet one day being crammed into a cage with ten other animals waiting to die like more(prenominal) or less 20-100 million other animals do each year in many unreliable tests. More than 205,000 new drugs are marketed worldwide every year. around of these animals die after undergoing the most common unreliable test order still in use, animal vivisection. The current system of drug testing puts consumers in a dangerous predicament. According to the General Accounting Office, more than half of the prescription drugs approved by the Food and Drug system between 1976 and 1985 caused serious side effects that later caused the drugs to be all re-labeled or removed from the market.
