Animal Testing The use of animals in laboratory testing is unethical and is strongly against animal rights. The abuse that animals are forced into cannot be justified when an animal is unable to sign away its life to be tested. Millions of animals are killed or left debilitated by something against their will. The experiments are extremely graphic and painful, even for the smallest of tests. “Huntingdon Life Sciences is one of the largest animal testers in Europe. They kill approximately 75,000 animals each year, of which 87% are rodents” (Murnaghan 1). Over 30 million mice are used in research facilities around the world, making up the majority of animals used in experimentation. They are used in tests for Botox in many laboratories. After being paralyzed by the Botox injection, their body goes into shock and they can't breathe. If it appears that the mouse will not survive, a researcher will carry it into the hallway with a pen. The researcher will roll the pen across the mouse's upper body trying to break its neck and end its pain. In most cases, however, the back is broken rather than the neck, and the mouse lies on the floor in pain as its nerves contract. The mouse must then suffer worse pain than Botox would ever cause as it awaits death. Rabbits, like mice, are also used in Botox. Botox is injected into the main vein of the rabbit's ear. Many times the rabbit will jump or the searcher will miss the grain. The researcher will continue to try to put the rabbit in the ear until he succeeds or until the vein breaks, rendering it useless. If the vein becomes unusable, the rabbit is killed and thrown into a garbage bag and left to die in the garbage. Since the passage of the Animal Welfare Act, many aspects of animal testing have become much more humane. Organizations like PETA have no interest in compromising with animal testing. They will only be satisfied when animal testing has been completely abolished. Protest signs are posted on benches near the laboratories and activists stand outside to protest against scientists going to and from work. Because of the animals not listed in the Animal Welfare Act, there is no way to even estimate the number used, abused and killed in animal testing. Rodents are the most commonly used as test subjects because they are not subjected to any type of protection. Many tests performed on these types of animals are not legally required tests for projects and cause unnecessary suffering to the animal. There was an artist named Jacqueline Traide who was so dedicated to ending animal testing that she decided to undergo a day-long role-play of what an animal goes through. She sat in the window of a building for everyone in London to see. Abused to the point of blood and tears, she was treated like an animal. His goal was to force himself to endure all the pain just to show people who know very little about animal testing what an animal goes through in
