Animal Testing: Cruel, Unreliable, and Unnecessary
A Call to End Animal Experimentation
Nonpredictive Experiments Cause Human Suffering
The use of nonpredictive animal experiments can cause human suffering in at least two ways:
- Producing misleading safety and efficacy data
- Causing potential abandonment of treatments
Support Animal Protection
By supporting organizations working to end animal testing, you can help countless animals languishing in laboratories. Animal testing claims the lives of over 25 million animals annually worldwide.
The Cruelty and Ineffectiveness of Animal Testing
Animal experiments are cruel, unreliable, and even dangerous. Animals do not naturally get many of the diseases that humans suffer from, and their reactions to drugs and chemicals can be very different.
The Debate Continues
Proponents of animal testing argue that it contributes to life-saving cures and treatments. Opponents contend that it is cruel and inhumane and that there are better alternatives available.
Conclusion
The debate over animal testing is a complex one with no easy answers. However, the evidence clearly shows that animal testing is often unreliable and can cause human suffering. It is time to end this cruel and outdated practice and invest in more humane and effective methods of research.
