Animal research has been a controversial topic for so long
already that it’s difficult to support either side of the controversy, as they
both have well thought of points that help to reason their claims
On one side, we have abolitionists who are against animal
research as they believe that animals should have rights just like we do. They
have a perspective whereby animals are no longer regarded as things to be owned
and used. On the other side, we have the
scientists who are doing all these tests and research to improve our lives. They
aren’t harming animals for fun or just because they want to, no they are doing
this to help human beings by finding cures or improving our daily supplies like
beauty products or medication. Yeah, they are harming innocent creatures that can’t
talk or do something to make them stop, but they are the closest things we have
to test on besides humans.
I have to say that I support this idea to some degrees
because I do believe in gaining knowledge to figure things out for treatments
and for other things but at the same time it’s not right to treat animals
with such cruelty when they do not
deserve it. Yes we are fighting to survive and we are harming others in the
process, but that's the only way that we can help others, it’s just how we are
improving in life.
Like I said, this topic has it pros and cons but at the end it’s
something that has been going on for many years and it will still probably go
on for many more...We really won’t ever be able to stop this, but we however
can slow things down by figuring other ways in which we can gain the
information and knowledge that we are obtaining from doing this experiments. We
are evolving and just like technology is taking over many things, we may as
well figure out how to use this in our advantage and stop animal cruelty once
and for all.
It seem to me you have a more minimalistic view on the idea of animal cruelty. I do too. I am not for the harming that comes to the animals but if it means for the better of our health then in some sick way it's okay. You also brought up a good point in advance technology. Yes, technology is growing maybe soon we will have the advance technology to figure out cures or prevent diseases without harming the animals!
ReplyDeleteYeah i guess i do I am not in favor of people harming animals, however if that means that they will find cures for diseases and such things I'll rater have an animal go through that then see a human being suffer...we all have to die one day anyways. Although technology is advancing its still a slow process a slow process that will hopefully end this once and for all in the years to come!
DeleteI think animals should be used for medical research not for things such as makeup or creams and such because that is all cosmetic things. Who else would we do the research on? Im sure the animal protestors wouldnt do it.
