    Animal testing involves experiments that cause pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm to animals. It is used to develop medical treatments, check product safety, and for other research purposes. While it contributes to human and animal health, it is considered cruel by some as the animals experience harm and are often killed. There are several large animal advocacy organizations that work to reduce animal testing and promote alternative research methods, through fundraising, lobbying, education and sometimes illegal direct action. The practice continues to be controversial as it benefits human health but harms animals.

    “ANIMAL TESTING AND HELP ORGANIZATIONS”

    Lot of people don't know what an animal test is, or how it’s made. When I was a kid I used
    to think that animal testing meant putting makeup on a rabbit. Obviously I was wrong like a
    lot of people, animal experiments are not the same as taking your dog to the vet.

    According to “cruelty free international” An animal test is any scientific experiment or test in
    which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them pain,
    suffering, distress or lasting harm, animals used in laboratories are deliberately harmed, not
    for their own good, and are usually killed at the end of the experiment.

    Animal experiments include:

    - injecting or force feeding animals with potentially harmful substances


    - surgically removing animals’ organs or tissues to deliberately cause damage
    - forcing animals to inhale toxic gasses
    - subjecting animals to frightening situations to create anxiety and depression.
    - Some experiments require the animal to die as part of the test.

    Sounds really inhuman, but why do they keep doing it? and why do we keep “supporting it”

    1. Animal testing is used to develop medical treatments, determine the toxicity of


    medications, check the safety of products destined for human use, and other
    biomedical, commercial, and health care uses.
    2. Even if this could be considered “animal abuse” it’s not, Shockingly, in the USA rats,
    mice, fish, amphibians and birds are not defined as animals under animal experiment
    regulations. That means no legal permission to experiment on them is needed and
    they are not included in any statistics.

    Sounds very selfish, the fact of using defenseless animals for our own, and the only reason
    they keep doing it is because there are cons for us.
    Pros and cons of animal testing

    Pros Cons

    Animal testing contributes to life-saving Animal testing is cruel and inhumane.


    cures and treatments for humans and
    animals alike.

    Animals are appropriate research subjects Animal tests do not reliably predict results
    because they are similar to human beings in human beings.
    in many ways.

    Animal research is highly regulated, with Alternative testing methods now exist that
    laws in place to protect animals from can replace the need for animals.
    mistreatment.

    Okay, buy why there are no people helping or doing something? There are!

    There's a lot of Animal Help Organizations, mostly NGO (non governmental organizations,
    obviously) that were created to: Donate and help for the animals, i going to mention just 3
    or the most known:

    - PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals): this one is the most known,
    committed to ending abusive treatment of animals in business and society and
    promoting consideration of animal interests in everyday decision making and
    general policies and practices, in their page you can inform yourself about the topic
    or even donate to help

    - Humane Society International (HSI): HSI is a leading force for animal protection,
    with active campaigns to enhance legislation and enforcement, reduce the number
    of animals suffering on farms and respond to animals in need in the aftermath of
    disasters. mostly recognized for producing the short film “Save Ralph” a short film
    to spotlight the realities of animal testing.

    - ALF (Animal liberation front): is a loosely organized extremist movement


    committed to ending the abuse and exploitation of animals. The American branch of
    the ALF began its operations in the late 1970s, and by operations I mean "direct
    action" meaning criminal activity designed to cause economic loss or to destroy the
    victims' company operations or property.
    What we can see here is that animal testing is just bad for the animals and not for us,
    sounds bad but if you can do something that is going to help or even save your life but an
    animal is gonna get harm, would you do it? Humans are selfish “by nature” all animals are
    gonna do something to save their lives, even if that includes harming someone, sadly is the
    law of nature.
