Reasons Why Animal Testing Should Be Forbidden

“Opinion and Evidence for the Need to Move Away from Animal Testing” was an article published by The Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) on 2nd Nov, 2017. An article stated that how the author clearly convinces people that animal testing is harmful for both human and animals. There are many facts that support banning animal testing. The chemicals contain contaminated chemicals, which can burn the skin of the animals or harm in other ways. So the researchers or scientists now do not have enough information in animal testing. The cost of an animal’s life, which is the same as the life of a person since every being has a meaning to survive or live. Animal testing have been used since the ancient times because people cannot take the risk in sacrificing other people’s life. However, animal experiments are not research enough or properly researched and this experiment cost a lot. Therefore, animal testing should be forbidden and I’m truly convinced by this article.

The dispute of this article is how the chemicals affect the subject or animals. The authors stated the claim about the facts and opinion-based on the author, which in the article, some of the paragraphs are facts and some paragraphs are supported by policies or legalized policies. However, the policies are based from the European region. The authors’ purpose is to convince the readers to accept the claims that animal testing should be banned since the chemicals might harm the animals. The worst case is some animals end up death. For some reason, if some people or lawyers disagree with this claim then there are many policies backed up these claims since all of the author stated with his opinion and supported by a policy and proof. Also, there is no gain in publishing this article since it is theoretically true that animal testing harms animals up until in modern days. It may have some gain in letting researchers or people to know more about animal testing.

This essay should be published to local places such as the supermarket, local parks, etc. This article or essay might affect people who truly love and care about animals emotionally since these chemicals that are tested on animals are hazard or dangerous to them. The article stated some strong evidence that supports to the fact that animal testing should be banned. Animal testing can lead to ethical and economical concerns. Economical concerns are the cost of the chemicals, duration that has spent hours on researching and experimenting, and other utilities that are needed. For the ethical concerns are responsibility, not enough information or researched, statistical under-powering, lack of predictivity, and of real-life situation. “Only 59% of the studies stated the hypothesis or objective of the study and the number and characteristics of the animals used. Most of the papers surveyed or researched are not use randomisation (87%), to reduce bias in animal selection and outcome assessment. Only 70% of the publications that used statistical methods described their methods and presented the results with a measure of error or variability”. The evidence that are research by researchers or professors are either not controlled or standardized to an extent that results are no longer relevant.

In conclusion, I’m convinced to the fact that animal testing should be further study and research rather than just to test on animals since animals have many species and types that are not the same. Some species and types may not result the same because each animals are not the same. There are the economical and ethical concerns that needs to be cleared before doing animal testing. The economical concerns are the cost of the experiment, the duration of the experiment, and other utilities that are needed. The ethical concerns are responsibility, not enough information or researched, statistical under-powering, lack of predictivity, and of real-life situation.
