Animal testing is abuse to many different kinds of innocent animals and should not be used, this type of cruelty should be stopped immediately.
ThesisSlide3
What is Animal Testing?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRBcHIIsXcSlide4
“Some [research animals] are burned with blow torches or submerged in scalding water, some are beaten with mallets until they die of shock or internal injuries, some are inoculated with cancer cells and die a lingering and agonized death, hundreds of thousands undergo major surgery and are cruelly neglected while they recover or die” (Shaffer).
What animals go throughSlide5
Medical
Testing (cancer, vaccines, burns, transplants, etc.)
Cosmetics
Testing (makeup, lotions, anti-aging, etc.)
Actress Kristin Bauer of the television show True Blood said ''It's so simple for me: we shouldn't be torturing another living being for mascara when we don't have to…It seems so odd when you think of shaving cream and a bunny, or mascara and a guinea pig. We're not saving a life’’ (
Ellin
).
Product Testing (cleaning, car, and food products)
Behavioral
Testing (how the animal reacts, thinks, and how it makes conclusions)
What kinds of testing?
Slide6
Calm and easy to handle animals including:
Dogs
Mice and Rats
Cats
Farm Animals
Rabbits
Primates

Stats
http://speakingofresearch.com/tag/animal-welfare/Slide8
They are the most used animals because:
Can be kept in smaller units
Researchers don’t need to give them pain killers by law
They have a similar nervous system to humans
Mice and rats are used in toxicology tests in which they are slowly put to death
They are used in behavioral testing because they run through mazes to see what parts of the brain causes movement
Why Mice and Rats?Slide9
Dogs are used for:
Neurological research
Medical testing (given diseases and vaccinations)
Beagles are the most common breed used
Cats are used for:
Classroom
dissections Vision tests (eyes are sewn shut or removed)
Why Dogs & Cats?

Rabbits are used for:
Cosmetics and product testing (put in the eyes or freshly shaved skin)
Medical testing
Other kinds of farm animals are used for:
Trauma
training
courses (for the military)Medical testing (organs are removed)
Why Rabbits and Other Farm Animals?

They are caught in the wild and raised in laboratories
Used for:
Vaccine tests (given diseases and are then given vaccines to see if they help
)
Behavioral tests (primates are very similar to
humans)
Primates become lonely, bored, and suffer from insanity while in laboratories
Why Primates?

Laws Passed

This is a long video but it is very informative about what types of laws protect animals from testing.Slide13
It usually doesn’t help find important research, “From
time to time, animal experimenters “have stumbled on something useful,” but current experiments “aren't coming up with anything of actual value” for health”(
Clemmitt
10).
Innocent animals die
from cruelty and mistreatment.
Why this needs to end
http://www.veganpeace.com/animal_cruelty/animal_testing.htmSlide14
On the Speak Out For Species education website it stated that “An estimated 90 percent of all animals used in research are rats and mice, though many other species are also used, including guinea pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, nonhuman primates, and farm animals” (Problems). This goes to show that there are so many animals out there in laboratories getting hurt and abused. Hopefully this will change many people’s views on animal testing and will make the reader more aware of why animal testing is a horrible thing to do to innocent animals that are also
pets and shouldn’t be treated this way.
