Scientists perform tests on animals every day, Some people think the tests are cruel and painful. What do you think?
Have you ever wondered how a company knows that its shampoo won't burn your eyes? Or make your scalp break out in a rash? Companies test their products before they sell them. And a lot of these products are tested on animals first. Shampoo isn't the only thing tested on animals. Many medicines are also tested on animals. Each year, American researchers use more than 20 million mice, monkeys, rabbits, and other animals in scientific tests. These tests help make sure that products are safe. They also help researchers find cures for diseases. But many animals suffer or die during the tests. Animal-rights advocates say this is wrong. One group, called PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), says that animals have feelings-just like people. They get hungry and thirsty. They feel fear and pain. PETA thinks that all testing on animals should stop. Others feel that it's the only way to fight disease and make safe products. What do you think? Should animals be used to test new products?
Yes Opinion
Hardly anyone dies of smallpox, polio, or rabies anymore. Why? Vaccines helped wipe them out. And without animal testing, we wouldn't have vaccines. We need animal testing to find vaccines and to let scientists try out new medical techniques, such as heart transplants. Yes, it does hurt some animals, but it saves thousands of human lives. And that's really important.
No Opinion
Animals have feelings, just like humans. It's wrong when they die to test our products-especially those that have no real medical purpose. Companies like The Body Shop are developing new products without animal testing. Doctors and researchers should stop all animal testing now. It's not fair to put animals' lives at risk for humans.
