Animal Testing - Let it carry on? [Closes 06/03/07]

[---MAD---]

Do you think animal testing should carry on? It is a major factor it a lot of experiments that lead to big successes that help humans in lots of areas in science.

What do you think?

It may help humans but IMO its wrong & cruel to test products on living creatures of this world.

[Rich.Boy]

I think it is wrong for testing things like hairsprays/cosmetic stuff etc.

HOWEVER... I think it is perfectly acceptable to test regarding cures to diseases such as cancer and also to use animals to grow human body parts such as ears etc.

i agree with that,

in my opinion, it is unacceptable to test cosmetics on animals, as its not them that will be using the final product - its us!

human testing should be used for cosmetics testing, afterall, animals do not show the same allergic reactions to humans, so a product that had no effect on animals could well end up with humans having an allergic reaction to it.

as for animal testing in medical science, to some extent this is reasonably safe, because the animals being tested on can be genetically modified to give them maybe human genes, meaning that the results of animal and human testing ought to be similar, as long as theres no lasting harm done to the animals during the tests, then i do not have a problem with testing new drugs/medicines on animals

Yes but alot of the time there is harm done to them which i find wrong.

I think its bad, but is better than using humans, adding to that they should test it on peadophiles n stuff (sp).

[Titch]

the poeple who like animal testing i think should get tested on themeselves and see how they like it

[OMGitsaROSS]

for drugs, it should
for cosmetics. no.

Also

DJ they do it on animals that have been bred inside these labs so they can be used on them. Ar you volunteering to get drugged?

Remember what happened to those men a few months ago?

they almost DIED. You nub.

How is it right, animals are being killed for you make- up, there is areas like shoe box sized, min food and water, should be doing exercises, the argument of, the medicines thing, n oway, if we cared that much we wouldnt abuse them, people dont care so no one gives a dam, the majority of you say they dissage but I bet they dont actually LOOK at what there buying to see if it non animal tested, well I do, and also, if you CARE about animals so much, Im sure your a vegy? If yes then thats ok, but if not, your just a hippocrit, as they die in the same way.

i think its totally ok. if we did not carry out tests on animals we would have not discovered how to cure illnesses. As for make up i think thats on 2. its only an animal get over it. think how many youve eaten away in the past.
