The Horrible Epidemic That Is Animal Experimentation

This article really enraged me. It angered me very severely and hurt my mood for the rest of the day. I feel very strongly about being con towards animal harm in any way. This article brought out severe “hateful” emotions towards animal experimentation and anyone that harms animals purposefully. This article also strengthened this feeling because there are other things that can be done besides testing on animals. Like in this article it said that there were many things that could be used besides animal testing, like fake corrosive skin which scientists could test on besides animals. 

Another argument that was made in the article said that instead of animal experimentation they could just use computer imaging to find out if something is harmful to humans or not. Sure some may say that computer imaging is not always accurate, but isn't that an extreme? These computer imaging are fairly accurate, and scientists use more than one computer to get an accurate example of their products safety or toxins. 

Lastly, this reason does not matter to me, animal experimentation is very costly. To keep animals well fed and groomed in there laboratories it costs over half a million dollars for a small group of animals over a 1-2 year period. One reason that the article gave us was that in colleges minks are commonly tested on, which is very costly, because even though they are dead they are ten dollars each, and can only be used once. So please save these animals, they do not have a voice to stand up against horrible and cruel human beings and the human beings that can talk for these helpless creatures should help stop the cruelty.
