Cons-+Introduction

The number of animals that are blinded, scalded, maimed, genetically manipulated, force-fed chemicals and otherwise harmed or killed each year is an estimated 70 million (__Against Animal Testing Par 1__). Those animals are harmed or killed because of animal testing. It is a very controversial topic that is debated all over. Those who support animal testing include many doctors, cancer researchers and beauticians. Those who are against animal testing believe that it is wrong to create pain or suffering of the animals in the name of science or beauty. It’s not just mice and rats they test on, “Approximately 1,600 chimpanzees are housed in US research facilities.” (Fast Facts: Animal Testing par. 6). Other animals that are involved in testing include mice, rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs, cats and monkeys. (Beattie par. 2).Though it provides critical medical treatments, animal testing is cruel because it is unnecessary, it isn’t accurate, and it harms and kills animals.
