At the moment, millions of animals call cold laboratory cages their home, but why? Some of these animals are subjects for medical research purposes, while others are used out of pure curiosity and to test different products. Most of these animals are used in painful experiments and are left in agony. While many of them die, some animals survive, but even these unfortunates wish they could put an end to their misery. Although scientists have resources they could use to reduce the pain endured by each animal and even alternatives for test subjects, millions of innocent creatures are still suffering. The fact that animals are still used when animal testing is avoidable and unnecessary makes animal testing unethical. According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (2013) over one hundred million animals suffer and sometimes die as a result of experiments to test chemicals, drugs, etc. foods and cosmetics (paragraph 3). While it's good that companies care that their products don't harm consumers, the law doesn't require most of these tests to be done on animals. Furthermore, these tests do not have accurate results, so animals may suffer but the product is still sold to people. While the products that burned rabbits' eyes are marketed to consumers, government agencies use taxpayers' hard-earned money to fund these horrific and unnecessary experiments. Millions of animals are used to test consumer products, but they also become victims of medical experiments. research. In The Ethics of Animal Research (2007) both authors state that there have been many medical advances with the development of medicines and treatments as a result of research conducted on animals (para. 1).
