Exposition+Topic+-+Animal+Testing

__ A practice that shouldn’t happen __ At the moment in our country, a large number of products are tested on animals. I think this is cruel and unnecessary. Some people say this doesn’t hurt animals. Well, if it doesn’t hurt animals then it probably wouldn’t hurt humans either. So what is stopping them from testing these products on humans which they could get paid for and earn a little bit of extra money?

Animals are also used to test medicine and medical chemicals. I think this is an abomination. With today’s technology, you would think they would be able to come up with a machine that could test these medicines and injections, instead of testing them on living creatures.

To my disgust, I once read an article in a Melbourne newspaper, where unknown universities were using dogs for vetinary and medical students to practise operations on, then killing them.

Animal testing is an all-round horrid practice and should be ruled out, not just in Australia, but all over the world. Every product should have the sentence ‘No Animal Testing’ printed on their label.
