Animal testing was first introduced around 300 BCE when the Greek Philosopher Aristotle performed tests on them. This practice became widely known in the 17th century when Charles Darwins theory of evolution was put forth. Approximately 26 million animals are tested each year in the United States. Animal experimentation has been used to create treatments…

Animal testing has long been a social issue among the masses. It is a method of medical and biological research that investigates the reaction of drugging living animals on behalf of humans. These experiments greatly contributed to the functional explanation of life, but on the other hand, the cruelty of the experiments raised the question…

The beginning stages of testing involve a process called Vitro (Read). When you think of the common everyday products such as cosmetic companies, medical research, and even new forms of technology people are quick to assume it involves abusive animal testing. In many cases, people choose not to support these types of companies. They assume…

Over the past few years, animals have been exploited for testing purposes, experiments for medicinal safety, and other scientific methods have been conducted on these animals to confirm that these methods are safe for mankind. In 2017 statistics show that over 3 million animals were tested in England (Understanding animal research,2018, Para. 3). Animal testing…

All medical products and drugs require preliminary testing to prove their effectiveness and safety for public use. This testing is conducted primarily on animals to prove their safety, then transferred to human subjects. Animal testing is not only safer than using human subjects, however, it is also more cost-effective. Businesses forced to undertake this animal…

Animal Testing Imagine that you are an animal housed in a laboratory, and from the day you were born, you have been stamped with a number and used as a research subject. Could you fathom having your body tested for the next cure of cancer? Could you envision having your body slaughtered? Throughout history animals…

Animals are used in scientific research, help us to gain significant knowledge about human physiology and pathological mechanism because of their similarities to human in many ways and are being tested as human models since 500 BC. They contribute a lot to the invention and development of newer types of drugs, vaccines, diagnostic investigations, antigen…

Animal experimentation is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables which affect the behaviour or biological system through vigorous study. In 2018, 3.52 million procedures which involved living animals were carried out in the United Kingdom(1). 1.8 million of them were for experimental purposes. These procedures included using non-human…

Animal research has had a crucial job in numerous logical and restorative advances of the previous century, and keeps on supporting our comprehension of different illnesses. All through the world, individuals appreciate a superior personal satisfaction in view of these advances, and the resulting improvement of new medications and medicinesall made conceivable by animal testing.…

In Korea, 41.4 million animals have reportedly been mobilized and victimized in animal experiments in 2019 according to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency. Animal experimentation has been a controversy for decades. While Korean public awareness of animal rights has heightened so far compared to the past, still under the circumstances, it needs to be…
