Animal Testing: Ethical Concerns

Allison Kanenaga presents on why animal product testing is cruel. Each year, over 100 million animals are tortured in testing. Animals are sentient beings who feel pain, yet they are forced to endure painful tests without painkillers. While scientists argue testing on animals is necessary, it is not with today's alternatives like animal-free cell and tissue models. Some efforts to reduce testing include state laws banning cosmetics testing, community rallies raising awareness, and lifestyle changes like buying cruelty-free products. However, more support is still needed to fully replace animal testing.

“No experiment, no matter how painful or


trivial, is prohibited – and pain-killers are not
required. Even when alternatives to the use
of animals are available, the law does not
require that they be used—and often they
aren’t.”
• They are forced to
endure pain from birth
to death
PROBLEM #2:
The Necessity
(or lack thereof)
• Scientists believe
testing on animals is the
only option
