10 good reasons animal testing is goos?

Answer 1

1. There is now a cure for certain types of lymphoma. The drugs, protocols and treatment modalities were all tested thoroughly on animals (both animals with and animals without lymphoma) prior to starting human trials. In addition, similar protocols and drugs are now used to treat animals with lymphoma, successfully in many cases.

2. There are multiple classes of antibiotics that can be used to treat bacterial infections. Every antibiotic currently available was initially thoroughly tested on animals prior to entering human trials. A good number of these antibiotics are also used in veterinary medicine.

3. There is a vacciation for rabies, which now consists of 3 shots prior to exposure or 5 shots after exposure. Rabies used to be universally fatal if you were bit by a rabid animal; now you receive a series of 5 shots plus a high level of pre-formed antibodies and the prevention rate is above 90%. Also, canine rabies is now eradicated from the US due to using preventive vaccines in the domestic dog population - there are only the bat, raccoon and skunk varieties left.

4. Humans with coronary artery disease can now be treated via implantation of an expanding tube called a stent into the blocked artery to open the artery and maintain blood flow. These devices were first tested on animals and research medical doctors practiced the technique on animals prior to attempting the procedure in humans.

5. HIV/AIDS is now a manageable chronic disease in the United States rather than a rapidly progressive and fatal infection. All the drugs used to treat the symptoms of HIV/AIDS were thoroughly tested on animals prior to being given to humans.

6. The biochemical cascade of clotting is now relatively well understood, to the point that hemophilia can be controlled via medication. The clotting cascade was investigated in multiple animal models over decades to identify and clarify the various chemicals and molecules that interact to cause and prevent blood clots.

7. Studies of purebred animals have led to the identification of genes associated with major diseases present in both animals and humans, which has helped researchers identify genes associated with diseases in humans.

8. Behavorial studies of animals have led researchers to further understanding how early humans may have interacted and what could have given early humans the evolutionary advantage over other closely related hominid species.

9. Genetic testing of animals and complete genome sequencing has led to discoveries of how certain animals are related to each other and have furthered the understanding of recent and ongoing evolution.

10. Some animals are much more sensitive to certain chemical contaminants than humans, so testing these animals and observing their reactions to chemicals allows scientists to determine acceptable limits for human exposure to the chemical.

Answer 2

ANIMAL TESTING NOT ALLOWED!!!!!

Firstly, animal tests is a selfish thing to do.

Secondly, scientists can make new ways to test cosmetics that doesn't involve animals.

Answer 3

1. it can kill the animal

2. the animals don't like it

3. it has chemicals it not good for animals

Answer 4

i would say the only 1 good thing is that we dont get harmed or scarred or something but the pain that the animals go through is devastating

Answer 5

Did you know that 100 million animals die form animal testing every year? How is it fair that we waist millions of animals lives for our own benefit?
