Cons-+Conclusion

Animal testing, not only harms animals, but it also harms humans too. Because animals differ from humans, the tests are not accurate. Animals have different skin types, different DNA, and different life- styles, which makes the test unreliable. Instead of using animals to test things like drugs and household products, new methods such as cell cultures can be used to test these things. The new methods are more accurate, less expensive and animal free. The old methods included pumping chemicals into the animals, rubbing products onto their skin, squirting them into their eyes and forcing them to inhale aerosol sprays (Animal Testing, Peta, par. 3). “To measure severe burns on live tissue, a pet is burned alive with a flame-thrower…” (Aniaml Testing-Facts par1). Although it expands medical knowledge, animal testing is a bad thing because it unnecessary, inaccurate and harmful to the animals.
