Animal testing

Animal testing is when heartless scientists torture helpless animals to find out if their latest shampoo/ make up product will work. The animals are taken against their will, to laboratories. Where they are locked in tiny cages and mistreated, until it is they're turn to be tormented and eventually, after a lot of pain, killed. To do that to an animal is extremely cruel.

But its not just cosmetics that scientists use on the animals, they try to find cures for diseases by putting the diseased cells in their bodies and watching the growths and progress. The most common one to use is cancer; doctors place a cancerous lump in the animal's body and try to find a cure by using different chemical solutions (this is all done whilst the animal is conscious).

The pictures in the library about animal testing are horrendous, there were pictures of dogs that had just had a major operation on its brain and it had just been left on a cold stone floor to heal.

The testing wouldn't be so bad if the animals couldn't feel it and were put back to normal and then released again, or even the scientists could leave their bodies to scientific medical research, but its not like that.

The scientists have secret laboratories where they test on animals and then dispose of them when their finished. Reporters ...
