Should experiments on animals be illegal?

(*As the question asks an opinion, there are several responses listed. ) It is definitely something that should not be legal, I don't think any way you look at it it's an okay thing to do, most animals die, or become sick and very ill, deformed, or loose hearing, site, voice, and fur. They think it's okay to test on animals because they are merely animals and have no say.

They don't choose to be test objects, they breathe, eat and sleep just like normal people. They feel, they have feelings. Things hurt them - you wouldn't want to be going through strange, painful testings, so why would you let some innocent animal do it?

It's unfair and cruel. It should most definitely be illegal because they never did anything to us. Killing animals and abusing them, testing on them, is just as bad as anything else.

They don't do anything to deserve this cruel, cruel thing. So I definitely agree that it is something that should have never even started in the first place. And below were it says facts about animal testing, they're referring to medicine testing, and like physical/mental testing.

Animals involved in cosmetic, beauty product testing are usually hurt or become ill in some way I think that sometimes it can be cruel, but without testing on animals it could be a bad thing! What if one of your favorite pets, lets say your dog for instance, breaks a leg or gets sick, and it needs some kind of medicine to help him/her. Or if you wanna get something for him/her, like a dog treat or some thing like that.

I don't necessarily like animal labs but they help at the same time Testing on animals and whether or not it should be illegal is more of a personal opinion. Many people have different opinions on the subject and all of them are valid What people have to remember is that very little is tested on animals now, for cosmetics or other uses. What individuals who wish to make it illegal tend to forget is that the tests are for treatments doctors use to save lives.

Cancer treatments tested on animals have cured fatal illnesses, and given people many more years with their families. Tests on polio and other neurological conditions have given so many sufferers new hope. Almost no cosmetics are tested on animals anymore.

Almost all testing on animals is done in the name of medical research. It would be difficult to ban it altogether because of the significance of the cures it provides Most life saving medications, surgeries and techniques were tested on animals before being tested on people. Researchers now use computers to test the outcome, but in some cases still require a live creature.

Very few are hurt Animal testing is a very careful process now, and include life-saving drugs and procedures. Animals are no longer treated cruelly. They receive physical and mental stimulation, human interaction, plenty of room and the best health care, as is now required by law.

Some animals are able to be adopted such as dogs and cats and some lab rats once the experiments are finished Animals that have given their lives to perfecting medical treatments and that have helped save and improve lives, should be honored and respected for saving our loved ones. Experiments with animals shouldn't be illegal. While cosmetics experiments on animals aren't necessary, many of the experiments for medical research are beneficial to your daily life.(Insulin for diabetics is one example.

) There is a perfectly good reason why experiments on animals are done. And why many of the tests are legal, if inhumane. Yet, it should not be acceptable to hurt or kill animals for cosmetic reasons Tests on animals provide direct information on how chemicals, drugs, and procedures affect living tissue.

Laboratory rats have died by the untold millions to tell us what is safe for people. The extreme injuries and potential fatalities are justified by their value in medical research. These must be tested before use on an ailing human being I think it should be illegal because the animals don't like it and we wouldn't like it if it were us.

I definitely think its cruel and mean! I think it should be illegal because many of the animals die. OK some animals live, but some don't, so it should be!

There are many experimental procedures that are not justified by the scant information gained, and should be outlawed because they inflict needless suffering. As advances are made in computer analysis and modeling, many tests will be obsolete Yes it should be illegal. Animals have feelings.

Just because they stand on four legs doesn't mean they don't feel what humans feel. They feel what we feel; it would be like doing experiments on humans. Some people even treat an animal as their own child, so it would be like abusing your own child.

Just because they hold back the urge to cry out in pain, that doesn't mean they aren't suffering Animals have five freedoms : The freedom from discomfort, the freedom to shelter, the freedom to food and water, the freedom to proper hygiene, and most importantly the freedom to be loved. Experiments on animals should be illegal because they can feel things too. How would you like to be tested on?

No, because by doing experiments on animals, people can come up with medications and other things which could also save the lives of more animals My opinion is (no testing) because I sort of think it's inhumane- Animals NEED to be free... not in a cage. Like the person above said "How would you like to be tested on?". I certainly wouldn't like it... would you like it if YOU were put in a cage or be tested on?

No matter how much they reproduce, it will never be the same for them --- Some lucky chimps will be able to retire from being used in research to the Chimp Haven sanctuary, built in Shreveport, Louisiana, thanks to a law signed by President Clinton in 2000.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
