Is it correct to do animal testing?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
Cosmetics testing on animals, I believe is absolutely ridiculous ,useless and downright cruel at times. For medical reasons, I find it more acceptable, as long as it tried to be done in a much more humane and safe way where possible. I would obviously prefer there to be no forms of animal testing, unless there is no other alternative. If it is the only alternative and it causes incredibly horrendous pain/suffering, then I would definitely be strongly against it, unless it has a worthwhile result and actually helps other individuals whether people or other animals.

So reasons mainly:

1.Ethics: We should try prevent suffering as much as we can, an animal suffers and feels pain just like humans can.

2. Unnecessary: Sometimes animal testing is not needed. Like in cosmetics, it is absolutely stupid.

3. There are other alternatives: Not really too educated on it, but I know there are. Look it up.

- the animals can't say no

- the fact they are doing animal testing is because they don't want negative effects on humans

- not necessary

-Because it would be so much better if we had millions of helpless babies dying every year instead.

-Coffin makers' business would increase until they were all fabulously wealthy.

-If a person gets a disease, that's just God's way of telling us he doesn't want them here any more, so we should just go ahead and let them die.

In class I have to right an argument on weather animal testing is right or wrong. I personally think it's wrong but I need to write about as much as possible. So if anyone could give me as many reasons as possible.
