Animal Testing

Validation of research instruments is necessary even after testing its reliability because it is the only way to ensure that the results of the study are accurate and meaningful. Validation involves collecting data from research participants examining it and analyzing it to determine if the instrument is measuring what it was designed to measure. Validation is also the only way to ensure that the instrument is reliable and that the results are trustworthy and valid.

Here are a few reasons why it is still necessary to validate research instruments even after testing its reliability:

• Validation helps to ensure that the results of the study are accurate and meaningful.
• Validation helps to determine if the instrument is measuring what it was designed to measure.
• Validation ensures that the instrument is reliable and that the results are trustworthy and valid.
• Validation helps to identify potential sources of bias in the instrument or the data.
• Validation helps to identify any gaps or weaknesses in the instrument or the data.

Validation is an important step in the research process as it helps to ensure that the results of the study are valid and can be trusted. Without validation it is impossible to know if the research instrument is measuring what it was designed to measure and whether the results are reliable and trustworthy.

Animal testing occurs in New Zealand. Here are some paragraphs from other web pages that provide the scope of such testing.

In 2008, there were 341,520 animals used for research, testing and teaching - a 38.5% increase of animal testing from the previous year and the highest number used in the last ten years. The majority of animal experiments conducted in New Zealand are aimed to increase the profits and productivity of the agricultural industries. The rest is for commercial and medical purposes.

In New Zealand, as in many countries, laboratory animals (mainly rodents) and farm animals (mainly cattle and sheep) are used in research, testing and teaching - commonly referred to as RTT.

Excedrin, a pain relief medication, does not typically conduct animal testing for its products today, as many companies have shifted to alternative testing methods. However, historical practices may have included animal testing to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ingredients used in their formulations. Current regulations and ethical standards often guide pharmaceutical companies to minimize or replace animal testing whenever possible. Always check with the specific manufacturer for their current practices regarding testing.

BTW: ANIMAL TESTING IS HORRIBLE AND SICK DONT USE AS MANY OF THESE PRODUCTS AS U CAN.

Many animals are dieing and that is were animal testing the animals comes in for good purpose. The purpose of improving human life instead of sacrificing a human you give up an animal. There are so many animals in the world and animals are still producing more. Think about it "It's you or the animal."

Many of them come from dealers, who may get the animals from auctions, newspaper ads ("Free to a good home!"), etc . Class B dealers are licensed to buy animals from "random sources". According to the ASPCA, publicly funded shelters in Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Utah are required to surrender animals to any Class B dealer who asks for them.

It's considered exploitation, worse than abuse.

Kicking a dog is abuse.

Using the dog as a noncommittal experimental subject in radiation poisoning, head-on collisions, or vivisection is exploitation.

The earliest references to animal testing are found in the writings of the Greeks in the 2nd and 4th centuries BCE. Aristotle (Αριστοτέλης) (384-322 BCE) and Erasistratus (304-258 BCE) were among the first to perform experiments on living animals.[14] Galen, a physician in 2nd-century Rome, dissected pigs and goats, and is known as the "father of vivisection."[15] Avenzoar, an Arabic physician in 12th-century Moorish Spain who also practiced dissection, introduced animal testing as an experimental method of testing surgical procedures before applying them to human patients.[16][17]

Animals have been used repeatedly through the history of biomedical research. The founders, in 1831, of the Dublin Zoo-the fourth oldest zoo in Europe, after Vienna, Paris, and London-were members of the medical profession, interested in studying the animals both while they were alive and when they were dead.[18] In the 1880s, Louis Pasteur convincingly demonstrated the germ theory of medicine by inducing anthrax in sheep.[19] In the 1890s, Ivan Pavlov famously used dogs to describe classical conditioning.[20] Insulin was first isolated from dogs in 1922, and revolutionized the treatment of diabetes.[21] On November 3, 1957, a Russian dog, Laika, became the first of many animals to orbit the earth. In the 1970s, antibiotic treatments and vaccines for leprosy were developed using armadillos,[22] then given to humans.[23] The ability of humans to change the genetics of animals took a large step forwards in 1974 when Rudolf Jaenisch was able to produce the first transgenic mammal, by integrating DNA from the SV40 virus into the genome of mice.[24] This genetic research progressed rapidly and, in 1996, Dolly the sheep was born, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell.[25]

Toxicology testing became important in the 20th century. In the 19th century, laws regulating drugs were more relaxed. For example, in the U.S., the government could only ban a drug after a company had been prosecuted for selling products that harmed customers. However, in response to the Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster of 1937 in which the eponymous drug killed more than 100 users, the U.S. congress passed laws that required safety testing of drugs on animals before they could be marketed. Other countries enacted similar legislation.[26] In the 1960s, in reaction to the Thalidomide tragedy, further laws were passed requiring safety testing on pregnant animals before a drug can be sold.[27]

I think it was Frederick Banting? He tested a dog with his shot to avoid diabetes.

Of coarse not. Expecaily with all the other options.

The living conditions are very horrible. Mice may be kept in a small cage with many other mice. Puppies, bunnies, cats and other domestic animals are kept squished together constantly and they are treated terribly.-Animal Rights Activist

Vivisection is a type of surgery used for experimental reason particularly on living organisms and animals. This is conducted in order to view the animals' living internal structure. A streamline version of this is known as Animal Testing.

YES they do because as of 2006, they are sold in China where teting is required by law. Any brand selling in China as of now, is not cruelty free. Ehitcal brands refuse to sell there until that law is changed.

Animal Testing : Monkey Testing There are no test cases defined. The testers/users are given the application/product to test on. The users just get into the system and take different path. The idea here is to break the application. To discover loopholes which a developer might have overlooked. For several reasons: 1. To make sure the product is safe. 2. The company might want to see the long term and short term affects on the product. 3. The company might want to see if the animals like that product better then other products.
