How would you feel if you were locked in a cage, with people coming and going, experimenting on you? Would you feel good? This is what actually happens to animals. I believe that animal testing is horrible and should not be continued. Why this is important is because of my reasons, that are: first it is expensive; second that it is inaccurate; and my third and most important reason is because animal testing abuses an animal rights.

My first reason why I think animal testing is bad is because it is really expensive. According to Vittana “... the total cost of caring for a dog could be over $9000 per year.”. That is only a possibility, and only that, but the cost could still be well over $500, which is the least amount required, and even though …show more content…
Now, to house two or three mice or some birds isn’t too costly, even though those costs are still pretty high, but if you multiply that amount by an entire laboratory of mice and other animals and insects, it is very costly indeed. Adding to that, animal tests take months and/or years to conduct, in that time, hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on all of the animals. On top of that, if the money that is spent for the animals is little enough that it is not hardly costly, then that would mean the animals are being mistreated. So, if that happens, then that means people are still wasting money on animals that are being mistreated, and however small that amount of money, it can still be used to help somebody else. This means that some people might get some food for the night, instead of money being spent on useless tests. As well as the fact that a research facility in the U.S. spent $71,000 to feed primates, like monkeys, cocaine. …show more content…
Sometimes products can be very harmful to animals, such as aspirin, but some of these types of drugs can help improve and save people’s lives. That goes both ways, as more than a hundred vaccines have been made for HIV and could have helped chimpanzees but failed to help any humans at all. This is a result of structural differences in the bodies of humans and animals, so a lot of drugs will fail. In fact, in 2004, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) estimated that more than 90% of drugs that have passed animal testing don’t reach the market. How accurate the results of a test are mostly depends on the type of animal that is tested. The thing is that you wouldn’t know which species to pick until you know the effects a drug has on a human. This will hinder progress by a lot. In a case like this, it is like saying people die, and then you know which animal to test, and then later people find out it later that the drug is confirmed to be bad, which is now a virtually useless confirmation. In addition to the fact that animals are different from humans, but the diseases put in them are artificial not natural. Another part of that is fact that mostly male animals are used for animal tests. This was because of a belief that says that hormone cycles in females can affect the outcome of a test. This is wrong because the female species of animals could be a closer match to a female human. Even after all this,
