“Animal testing.

It is estimated that more than 115 million animals worldwide are used in
laboratory experiments every year.

• History of animal testing.
The first ever known use of
animals scientific
experimentation date from
500 B.C in the ancient
Greece. Fun fact Aristotle and
Erasistratus were among the
first to perform experiments
on the living animals.
Animals that get tested
on.

Many different species


are used around the
world, but the most
common include mice,
fish, rats, rabbits, guinea
pigs, hamsters, farm
animals, birds, cats, dogs,
mini-pigs, and non-
human primates
(monkeys, and in some
countries, chimpanzees).
How they’re tested on.
Here is a selection of common
animal procedures:
Forced chemical exposure in
toxicity testing, which can include
oral force-feeding, forced
inhalation, skin or injection into the
abdomen, muscle, etc. Exposure to
drugs, chemicals or infectious
disease at levels that cause illness,
pain and distress, or death. animals

experiments based on their species.

Conclusion
• According to an article 65% of the public accept the use of animals in research as
long as its for medical research purposes and theres no alternative way. 71% can
accept animal testing in a scientific research if theres no unnecessary suffering.
• In general 60% of people have accepted animal testing because it is essential for
enabling researchers to develop new drugs and treatments.
• The other 40% believe that it’s way too cruel and inhumane to experiment on
animals, that alternative methods available to researchers can replace animal
testing, and that animals are so different from human beings that research on
animals often yields irrelevant results. The alternative to animal testing include
sophisticated tests using human cells and tissues (the vitro method), advanced
computer modeling techniques (silico models), and studies with human volunteers.
• Taking everything into consideration, personally I believe animal testing should be
banned.
