For years, scientists have used animals to test beauty products, ointments, medications, and other products that people use in their daily lives. This is, from an argumentative point of view, a very delicate topic that gives rise to many debates. There are two sides to this argument, one is the scientist and people who see no harm in using animals when testing products. The other side is animal activists or people who see animal testing as animal cruelty. Personally, I'm the kind of person who sees animal testing as animal cruelty. There is a lot of information that supports my belief that animal testing is animal cruelty. According to procon.org, there are many ways animals experience animal cruelty by undergoing testing. One of these According to Paul Furlong, a scientist professor at the University of Aston, states "It is very difficult to create an animal model that even closely matches what we are trying to achieve in humans" (Animals should be used for scientific use or commercial, Procon.org). Animals simply do not match humans anatomically, metabolically, or cellularly. Not to mention that if humans were used in the tests instead of animals, this would be strictly voluntary. People would sign up to experiment of their own free will so that rights are not violated. Conversely, some argue that the animals make better guinea pigs because they have a very short lifespan. For example, mice only live up to two or three years. Because their lifespan is so short, it allows researchers to see the effects of treatment over an entire lifetime (Whether the animals should be used for scientific or commercial testing, Procon.org). Personally, I don't think this is an effective method because the test results are only seen after two or three years. What if the product encounters problems along the way and causes some life-corrupting disorder? I don't completely trust 's tests
