I believe…
animal testing should not be allowed
because it’s cruel to the animals and they
should not have to go through it.
What is Animal Testing?
The use of non-human animals in research
and development projects, especially for
purposes of determining the safety of
substances such as foods or drugs.

don’t talk, doesn’t
mean that they do not
feel pain or get hurt

Reasons For Animal Testing
•Helps figure out ways for new things
•Could come in handy when finding out
new vaccinates
Similarities: Humans & Lab
Animals
•Behavior can be just as complex
•Cellular structures, proteins, and
genes of humans and animals are
similar
Difference: Humans are not Lab
Animals
•Reaction to environment
•Also the conditions the animals are kept
•Respond differently to substances then
humans
•Effects on animals can be differ from each
laboratory
Alternatives to Animal Testing
•Episkin-a reconstructed human in vitro epidermis for evaluation of
cosmetics, pharmaceutical and chemical compounds.
•Epiocular-a reproducible, multi-layered human cell-derived tissue
for testing ocular irritancy of chemicals and other materials.
•Epiderm-is a reproducible, three-dimensional, human cell-derived
skin tissue for studies of corrosives and irritants.

be

cruelty
