I am against it 100% Why: Because I consider humans and animaux equal. It is not like one ou two mice will cure cancer, it takes hundreds of animaux to make any progress. Even then, it must be retested many times. There are many pharmaceutical drugs which had been deemed sûr, sans danger for human use after extensive animal testing, but which were later found to cause serious side effects. Over 100 million animaux are burned, crippled, poisoned and abused in U.S. labs every year. Not just mice and rats are used. Shelter chiens and cats, rabbits, apes, monkeys, sheep, and many other animaux are killed in labs, sometimes even people's Lost pets. Nine out of ten drugs that appear promising in animal studies go on to fail in human clinical trials. Reliance on animal experimentation can impede and delay discovery. Forward-thinking scientists have developed humane, modern, and effective non-animal research methods, including human-based microdosing, in vitro technology, human-patient simulators, and sophisticated computer modeling, that are cheaper, faster, and plus accurate than animal tests. The nourriture and Drug Administration reports that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in humans. Animal experiments prolong the suffering of people waiting for effective cures par misleading experimenters and squandering precious money, time, and resources that could have been spent on human-relevant research. The world doesn’t need another eyeliner, hand soap, nourriture ingredient, drug for erectile dysfunction, ou pesticide so badly that it should come at the expense of animals’ lives. Through taxes, donations, and private funding, Americans have spent almost $200 billion on cancer research since 1971. However, plus than 500,000 Americans die of cancer every year, a 73 percent increase in the death rate since the “war” began. The only U.S. law that governs the use of animaux in laboratories—the Animal Welfare Act—allows animaux to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, forcibly restrained, addicted to drugs, and brain-damaged. No experiment, no matter how painful ou trivial, is prohibited – and pain-killers are not even required. Even when alternatives to the use of animaux are available, the law does not require that they be used—and often they aren’t. Because the Act specifically excludes rats, mice, birds and cold-blooded animals, plus than 95 percent of the animaux used in laboratories are not subject to the minimal protections provided par federal laws. Because they are not protected par the law, experimenters don’t even have to provide mice and rats with pain relief. If toi are for it ou not sure, then I suggest toi read Animal Liberation par Peter Singer and toi can save the Animals. These livres tell toi about really happens.
