Many companies and scientists are nowadays testing their products and experiments on animals which can be very painful to those innocent creatures. Experimenting with animals is always unacceptable. It causes suffering and pain to animals just for human benefits.
Animals are subjected to bear agonizing pain, suffer emotional trauma and often die when they are used in laboratories. Every day in countries around the world animals is fighting for their lives. These animals are mutilated and confined to tiny cages so they can't escape. And later they are killed in outdated products tests for cosmetic care, personal care products, medicines, etc. These animals are burned, blinded, poisoned, electrocuted, strangled, and tortured while tests are carried on them. Animals are abused and mistreated on a daily basis. Animals should not go through such tests that hurt and harm them. The way those animals are treated is inhuman. Scientific experiments are abusing animals in many aspects, even though animals feel pain in the same way as humans do. Tests cause frequent and deadly pain on targeted animals. Animal rights are violated when they are used in researches. This inherent value is not respected when animals are reduced to being more like a tool in scientific experiments. Animal rights are violated when they are used in research because they don't have a second choice. Animal testing is not cruel and abusive but also inapplicable to humans. Even though animals are way different in the way they react to different diseases. It's unethical to sentence emotional animals to live in a laboratory cage and intentionally cause them to feel pain, loneliness, and fear. The national institutes of health report that 10 out of every 95 drugs that animals are tested upon failing in humans. The harmful use of animals in experiments is not cruel but also often ineffective. Animals do not get many of the human diseases that people do.
Hence, animals are suffering the consequences of scientific experiments and every second is precious for us to save animals from being harmed. Humans cannot justify making life better for themselves by randomly torturing and executing thousands of animals per year to perform laboratory experiments or to test products. Animals should be treated with respect and dignity. Animals cannot talk in our language does not mean they don't feel pain. Someone needs to be the voice of voiceless creatures. We need to stop cruelty and save animals.
