Do you think that animal testing should be banned?

Employing animals in scientific and commercial testing is a subject of an ongoing debate


on a global scale. They have been employed for a variety of purposes, including cosmetics,
medicinal therapies, the evaluation of products, and many more. Animals lack rights, torture of
animals, and the different reviews about animal testing shown why animals should be banned.

Since animal lack rights, it is legal to experiment on them. From the beginning of recorded
human history, almost all societies have regarded animals differently than people due to their
inferior moral and cognitive development. Giving animals rights will make everyone a vegetarian
and outlaw hunting.

Animal testing can torture them by forcing rabbits to remain immobile in restraint stocks
to open their eyelids with clips for many days. So, cosmetic companies are able to test the
displeasure that shampoos and other products make. by preventing the rabbits from blinking when
testing products, the clip must be used. According to the United States Department of Agriculture
(2016), a total of 71,370 animals felt agony during these trials because they weren't provided any
anesthetic to ease their discomfort.

Although, there are some reviews that prove that testing can lead to more downsides.
However, many companies still used animals for their product testing. According to the Humane
Society, registration of a single pesticide requires more than 50 experiments and the use of as many
as 12,000 animals.

Conclusively, Animals lack rights, torture of animals, and the different reviews about
animal testing shown why animals should be banned.
