Why we shouldn't do animal testing

Did you know that 115 million animals are used every year for cosmetic testing in the United States. Today I'm going to tell you why we should stop animal testing. If you listen, you will find out the process of animal testing, what is tested on animals and last but not least the conditions that the animals are in.

Firstly I'm going to tell you about one process of testing on animals, drug testing. Step 1, someone comes up with an idea of a drug. Step 2, they identify the group of people that they are going to help. Step 3, they use lots of computers to design the drug. Step 4, next they do in vitro research that is testing the ingredients on different animal cells. Step 5, then they will start testing the drug on mice and rats to see what the effect is on people. Step 6, next they do full animal testing. Step 7, this is the last and final step now they move on to human testing. So now you know process of drug testing.

Next I'm going to tell you what is tested on the animals. The most common tests are makeup, shampoo, drugs, toothpaste and hair colouring. Did you know that 315068 animals are tested every day? According to the Humane Society, 50 experiments can use up to 12,000 animals. Did you know that a famous sientest forced dogs to run on a tredmill untill the poor dogs floped and died of a harte atack!

Now that you know a bit more about animal testing I will tell you about the conditions that the animals are kept in. The animals are kept in small cages, but before I tell you the rest, I will tell you what animals are used, the most common animals are mice, fish, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, farm animals, birds, cats, dogs, mini pigs and monkeys! And those are only the common animals. The animals spend thier lives in cages,unable to make choices or express natural behaviors. Most never get fresh air or sunshine,only bars and concrete.

Now that you know how bad animal testing is I urge you to buy products that are not tested on animals so that animals don't have to go through this painful process. We must save all those innocent animals and make the world a safer place for them.
