Putting an End to Animal Suffering

 

            Animal mistreatment in the pharmaceutical industry has gone too far, causing the deaths of many animals. Animals in every way are mistreated and Americans should put a stop to it. Animals to an extent are just like humans; they have feelings and families. People should fight to change how animals are used in the name of science. Every day animals are fighting for their lives, having no power or any sort of communication. Many animals are enslaved, beaten, and used for research. Researchers that want to advance in medicine and science believe that killing an animal is more important than ethics and morals but they are wrong, because animals are living creatures like humans, and killing an animal is like killing a human. Putting human life over animals is unethical because animals are living beings. Killing and experimenting on animals is immoral and it should stop. Animal life is not above human life but they should be treated equally. Animals are genetically different than humans; however, they have emotions and families like humans, therefore it is unethical to abuse animals through animal testing by the pharmaceutical industry.
             Animals are genetically different than humans, therefore animals do not serve as great subjects to be tested on. Many animals have different cells than humans, which causes backtracks in the search for cures. The use of animals is unethical because we put ourselves above a breathing creature that feels pain. We think we are better because we use technology and we do not have to kill to survive. Animals in research give inaccurate results and technology now a day has advanced that we can replicate human tissue to use for testing. Human tissue can now be used to substitute the use of animals to find accurate cures. In Peggy Carlson's article, "Why We Don't Need Animal Experimentation,"" Dr. Bross, the former Director of Biostatistics at the Roswell Institute for Cancer Research points out, that the use of animals to find the cure for cancer hindered the progress of discovering the antidote.
