Animal Testing

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.

Phinix diagnostic testing strips can be used to find out ones pH-Level by testing urine or saliva. They can be purchased at various places throughout the internet like Amazon for example.

Animals are tested because they are healthy and no disease they could possibly have or any meds they are on will effect what they are doing with the testing.

Painkillers would affect the tested chemical's actions, and would also have unpredictable interactive effects, and therefore cannot be used.

Shrinkage templates directly measure shrinkage without any markings and calculation errors. Shrinkage testing machine of Amith Garments comes with calibration certificate along with the user manual.

NO, Blue Buffalo does NOT test on animals!

"Blue Buffalo does not do any invasive animal testing. Our company was founded on the basis of providing the best possible nutrition for dogs and cats, and we treat our pets like family members. We do conduct trials in which our products are fed to pets, but only under conditions that are healthy and comfortable for the animals."

They'll get injured and will face many difficulties . :(

Animal testing can have many different effects on an animal depending on the species, but these are the most common:

1. Loss of life

2. Impared hearing or other senses or complete loss of them

3. Impared movement

4. May cause the animal not able to reproduce which may lead to extinction if the animal is already endangered

5. disfigurement of body or parts of the body.

All around not a good idea.

The reason we should get rid of animal testing is because it is torture to the animals and animals dont have the same reactions to things like humans do. they react a whole lot differently. So please stop animal testing & animal cruelty!

Well simply because sometimes it has worked and treatments have been created and vaccines have been made to cure people, and scientists believe that because this method has worked for some cures, it can work again, of course they are not going to be able get it easily and quickly each time. So they will keep trying until they get it right. but they feel because it has created good from doing it before it will most definitely be able to do it again.
