Animals are burned, poisoned, and crippled in laboratories. 2) Animal testing results in inaccurate findings for humans. There are major anatomical differences between humans and animals, and animal tests are only accurate 5-25% of the time.

ANIMALS SHOULDN’T BE USED FOR PRODUCT
TESTING (FULL SPEECH)
Persuasive speech: animals shouldn’t be used for product testing

Animal testing has always been a source of debate among humans. Animals are still used for
testing safety items, makeup, chemicals, and medicines all across the world, despite the fact that
Europe (the world's largest cosmetic market) and India have already banned animal testing for
cosmetics. Every year in the United States, about 100 million animals, including dogs, cats, monkeys,
mice, and rats, are burned, poisoned, tortured, and crippled in laboratories. They are intentionally
poisoned with harmful chemicals, infected with diseases, and kept in barren cages until they die.
Today, I would like to persuade you that animals shouldn't be used for product testing with my
point, which is, a violation of animal rights. Then inaccurate test results and Animal testing is
wasteful and costly. let’s have a look at my first main point which violation of animal rights.

Although cruelty-free cosmetics are becoming increasingly common, several brands still use
rabbits in brutal tests. The most popular of these are eye and skin irritation tests, which require the
rabbit to be immobilized and the goods to be applied to their eyes and exposed skin. Bleeding,
blindness and ulceration are all possible outcomes of the product's reaction. Next, Animals are
frequently used in scientific studies, away from cosmetics labs. Researchers cut holes in the skulls of
animals to monitor their brains, which is a common technique. Rhesus monkeys' brains are
implanted with electrodes, and fixation rods are attached to their skulls with cement. Not only is this
a painful and unpleasant procedure in and of itself, but the monkeys are also starved to get them to
cooperate. Institutions like the Royal Veterinary College in Hertfordshire and Texas A&M University
have started breeding animals with disorders, mainly dogs with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in
their cases. It's harsh enough to breed dogs with fatal conditions. They live in cold, metal cages, with
their sole contact being lab researchers who subject them to intrusive tests. You are now aware of
the violence that humans have committed toward animals. Let’s move on to the following point,
inaccurate test results.

The fact that humans and animals are so dissimilar is one of the reasons why animal
experimentation is so inaccurate. Humans and animal test subjects have distinct bone structures and
organ sizes and thus react differently to medications that have been tested on animals, although
having comparable DNA. There is just a 5% to 25% probability that human and animal test results
will agree. Ninety percent of the time, a medication that passes animal tests fails horribly in human
trials. Furthermore, animals experience significant adverse effects after eating various medications
and chemicals, with 75% of them never occurring in humans. Because humans and animals have far
too many anatomical differences, scientists who continue to substitute animals for humans will
always produce inaccurate results. There were no cases of congenital impairments reported when
thalidomide, a sleeping drug, was tested on pregnant cats, guinea pigs, or mice, except when
extremely high doses were given. When given to pregnant women, however, this was not the case.
As a result, around 10,000 kids were born with serious abnormalities. move on to the final major
point, which is that animal testing is wasteful and costly

Some animal experiments take months or years to conduct and evaluate (e.g., 4-5 years for rodent
cancer studies), and they cost hundreds of thousands—and occasionally millions—of dollars per
chemical investigated (e.g., $2 to $4 million for a two-species lifetime cancer research). Nearly 115
million animals are used in vivo testing, while only 59 new drugs were approved by regulators in
2018. The drug business in the United States invests $50 billion in research each year, and the
approval rate for new medications is the same as it was 50 years ago. Animal testing is terrible
science that wastes life—both animal and human—and precious resources by attempting to infect
animals with diseases that they would never normally contract, according to studies published in
respected medical journals. Fortunately, a variety of cutting-edge non-animal research approaches
promises a more promising future for animal and human health. That is to say, the three main points
about animals shouldn’t be used in product testing.

We've studied three important aspects of animal testing today. First and foremost, violation
of animal rights. Then inaccurate test results and Animal testing is wasteful and costly. We, humans,
are drawn to animals as pets because they remind us of our own children or family members.
Animals, in my opinion, are entitled to a healthy and happy life. Because of the sacrifices made by
certain animal species, their lifespans have been extended as well as ours; and because of the new
developments in medicine that animal testing has provided us with, this sacrifice will eventually no
longer be necessary, and we will be able to use non-animal test subjects.
