At the same time, animal research industry is necessary in cosmetic testing, because that would protect humans from any type of side effects of the pharmaceutical companies products such as; Shampoo, Make up, Hair dye ….etc. And finally the amount of jobs loses due to any type of animals research industry banning.
On the other hand, the opponents of using animals in research insist that there is no need to use animals. The animals are routinely cut-open, poisoned and forced to live in cages for years. There is unnecessary use of animals in some type of research such as; the cosmetic testing.
For example, the cruelty uses of animals corneas to test pharmaceutical products. The outer layer of the eye, the cornea is one of the most sensitive tissues in the body. So, you can imagine how painful that is. Also, half of the animals are very sick and at the end of each test all animals are killed.
However, the results are inaccurate. Many studies have shown that there are major differences between the skin and eyes of animals and humans. The results of many studies end up with changing to the animal shape or behaviour which is very risky.
Add to that, there are some alternatives which could be used instead of animals such as; vegetable proteins which have a similar organisation to those in corneas. Also, they can use humans’ corneas from eyes banks, computer modelling or even human volunteers which are the most reliable test of all. Some of the most effective advances in human health and safety research have been achieved through these methods.
In conclusion,The use of animals in medical research is a complex scientific and ethical issue. It is easy to point at the medical and scientific achievements which has been gained due to the use of animals in research. But at the same time, laboratory research which involves animals is cruel and merciless treatment of helpless creatures. No law requires that cosmetics and household products be tested on animals. There is no need to use animals in research or testing products when we can find another alternative resources. By doing that we could reduce the use of animals in research and protect the environment from any type of corruptions.
