Each day many people are saved from medications that are a result of animal testing. However, the problem remains of how necessary it really is to continue the use of innocent animals for these tests. Should the people develop another way of testing new medicine and products? What would the new test be and how accurate would the results be? Animal testing does not need to be the only way to solve medical problems but it is the best way to do it at this time.
Nearly every major medical advancement involves animal testing. Included in those evolutions are antibiotics, vaccines, and others treatments for asthma, and cancer. We could not save lives without these medicines and they have to be tested before they are released to the people.
The numbers of animals that are used for testing each year are between 17-22 million. Some of the animals are used for testing feel no pain. Animals used for research have their pain relieved by anesthesia. Others of them experience pain as part of the research in the understanding of medication.
Many people believe the testing of animals should be stopped. Because, it seems to be cruel and unfair. People that are fighting for the animals rights want to stop all the research. Does it seem fair to kill a dog just to create a new longer lasting hair dye.
I really have mixed feelings on this issue. If a person with a serious disease could be saved then I say continue the testing. On the other hand, if an animal must die to create a mascara or hair dye I am totally against the issue. But not all testing done is to save a life, I feel the scientists should put equal effort into inventing a new testing method and save the innocent animals.
