Animal Testing
By Cathy
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.
How Would You Feel?
• What if this was your pet dog?
• Or your cat, or one of your pets?
• Just because they 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.

Does any animal testing count for cruelty?
• People will go undercover and see if they are treating the animals right in laboratories.
• In some cases they will find animals being locked up and not treated as they should be
Animal Cruelty
• There is many different types of animal cruelty
• Animals for Entertainment • Animal Experiments• Factory Farming• Fur Farms• Hunting
