Animal Testing

The more I hear about animal testing the more that I don't like it. What they do to these animals is cruel. One example is the beagle that was mentioned in the article,"Reasons We Should Protect Our Animals." This animal's lungs were infected with a mold in order to test new human drugs in it.this is just one of the horrible things that they have done to animals at these labs. Not only was was it cruel, it was also costly. one example for that is the minks that were mentioned in the article. They were $10 a piece and they need a large amount for there testing and for students.

There are alternatives to animal testing. One of these is cadavers which can be reused and would save a lot of money. Another alternative is corrositex. This is a type of artificial skin that measures corrosiveness of an applied product. Computer modeling is an other option. This software would cut costs "substantially" and it is infinitely reusable. These alternatives are far less cruel and way cheaper than using animals.

These are just a couple of examples of the things done to animals in these labs and the alternatives to it. It is horrible what they do to these animals and we shouldn't stand for it.
