Animal Experimentation!!!!

I think that it is okay to a point. I think that for medical reasons yes. As much as we all love our animals, the fact is, is that if there was a harmful side effect to like for instance eye drops making you go blind we would want to know that on an animal before we put it into our kid's eyes. But for cosmetics and that. No I do not believe in that. Animals should not be put threw un human experiments, but ones that help keep us safe I do agree with. And yes I am an animal lover. Please don't get the wrong idea. I just value my kids and their well being over an animals.

well i just like to sayone thing " GLAD I M NOT A ANIMAL" lol

I am pro animal experimentation. There is no other way to create safe products, even animal experimentation does not give always safe products, but the chance of problems is a minor one. So, until an alternative that is viable economically and really works, and that can really substitute animal experimentation I am pro it. I find it morally acceptable. But I do not support excessive suffering (a sadistic one, for instance) of animals.

Animal testing, or animal research, refers to the use of animals in experiments. It is estimated that 50 to 100 million animals worldwide from fruit flies and mice to non-human primates — are used annually and either killed during the experiments or subsequently euthanised. The research is carried out inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defense-research establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry.Most laboratory animals are bred for research purposes, while a smaller number are caught in the wild or supplied by pounds.

This is a diffcult and sensitive issue that you are addressing. Many of the medical procedures and pharmaceutical products that we have today, and which have resulted in the saving of many many human lives, were tested first on animals. I believe that if it needs to be done, then it has to be done in the most ethical way possible, under strict control and regulation, so that animals are not being abused unnecessarily.

biblically speaking we're allowed to do it on animals but not on another human being... becaue we're not allowed to kill another human being...

Stop the experimente on animals. can we do . i think make a not make a rule but inplement that also.

Of all the posters who were against experiments on animals for medical research (I too am against it for cosmetics) not one of them volunteered to take the animals place..wonder why????

I hope I never meet anyone that tortures animals for any reason because I want hold back. We are a people with the technology to test without torture. We have come a long way with technology and there is no reason for this to still be happening. If you know any products that are being sold that use animal testing I would like to know because I will not buy them anymore and I will tell everyone I know about it as well.

I think its really cruel to the animal to use them for your experiments and subject them to pain and torture. PETA is the organisation that is working against it and some countries have even banned animal testing. There are some products which come with the tag "No animal testing"

well.. it is necessary in certain cases..but it should be ensured that the animal is not harmed in any way

Animal testing, or animal research, refers to the use of non-human animals in experiments. It is estimated that 50–100 million animals worldwide are used annually and subsequently killed in scientific procedures — conducted as part of pure research, applied research, or toxicology testing — mostly inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. Testing is also carried out on farms, in defense-research establishments, and by public-health authorities, on a variety of species from fruit flies and mice to non-human primates. Most laboratory animals are purpose bred, while a smaller number are caught in the wild or supplied by pounds. The topic is controversial, with supporters and opponents arguing about ethical issues and the scientific necessity of using animal models. The Foundation for Biomedical Research, an American organization that "promot[es] public understanding and support for humane and responsible animal research," writes that "[a]nimal research has played a vital role in virtually every major medical advance of the last century — for both human and animal health," and that many major developments that led to Nobel Prizes involved animal research, including the development of penicillin (mice), organ transplant (dogs), and work on poliomyelitis that led to a vaccine (mice, monkeys. Whether animal research was necessary to achieve these results has been questioned by animal rights groups and other critics of the animal model.

U r right in ur own way but why don't u suggest alternative methods to develop new medicines and techniques??!!! Should they be done on humans or simply shud be given to patients without testing!!! Would that be ethical, moral??? Somebody has to bear the burden of these new discoveries. I suggest animal lovers spend more energies on protecting wild life, preventing non-veggies from eating animals!!! Isn't eating animals unethical or cruel to them when we can do with vegetarian food??!?!?

I don't think it's right at all. Some will say it's ok to test on animals for medical research, but where has that really gotten us? They come out with new medications all the time to make us well, but then 10-15 yrs down the road they tell us that the medications may have fixed our original problem but now we're gonna die because of the side affects. So what have we accomplished by killing the animals, if we just made our health worse?

hm

You make me remember a joke where the mother told the son who loves animal to take out his leather shoes and use rubber instead. Morally acceptable? Would you rather, that your relative get sick and go untreated to let the animals be. Or would you prefer that the medicine be experimented on the sick relative because it has been developed but not tested on any one yet, not even to animals? I would not also immagine products and medicines being tested on human being for the benefit of animals. Lol, we are all creatures here, but I beleive man have dominion over animals.

I don't really like they should be allowed to experiment on animals. I just feel so bad for the animals. I usually try to buy stuff that says: Not Tested on Animals.

Animal testing saves Lives, or animal research, refers to the use of animals in experiments. It is estimated that 50 to 100 million animals worldwide [4][5][6] — from fruit flies and mice to non-human primates — are used annually and either killed during the experiments or subsequently euthanised. The research is carried out inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defense-research establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry.

The topic is controversial. Opponents argue that animal testing is unnecessary, poor scientific practice, poorly regulated, that the costs outweigh the benefits, or that animals have an intrinsic right not to be used for experimentation.

animal experimentation is in all items of this world

we should stop doing this because they are also livings beings like us so we should not hurt them
