The biggest refute to animal testing is the pain and suffering that it causes. Lyrical said "Just because animals can't talk or do some of the thing we can do, people shouldn't treat them as if they are nothing" ("Animals" par.1). Some of the animals that are tested are nothing like humans. Animals are drugged to test new cosmetics and medications as required by the FDA animal testing harms or kills humans 61% of the time (Animal testing-Facts par.4). Another thing animals might be injured from is testing of cosmetics and household products. Animals are not treated well by the experimenters. Testing cosmetics on animals is highly controversial because the animal can experience pain or discomfort, or even die. All which is over-looked in the name of aesthetics and 'looking good’ (Animal Testing on Cosmetics, About Animal Testing). Another example of the harm projected on the animals is how they burn the animals alive with a flame-thrower to measure severe burns on live tissue (Shandilya par. 4). Animal testing is bad in many ways but the worst issue is the harm it causes. There isn't any counts of how many errors and faliures in animal testing. “The HSUS considers animal-based toxicity studies to be an ethically and scientifically questionable means of evaluating potential hazards to humans beings, wildlife, or the environment we share.” (Animal Testing, HSUS par.2). We should end animal experimentation before things get worse.
