2. What is animal experimenting
Animal experimenting is where people experiment on animals such
as: rats, mice, guinea pigs. These animals which get tested on the
most. Other animals get tested on as well, such as: dogs, cats,
monkeys, gorillas, hamsters ect... Experimenting on these animals
causes excruciating pain and unusual side effects that occur
while experimenting on them, for example abnormality such as
this picture shows here this picture was taken in 1997, Dr Jay
Vacanti and his team grew an ear at the back of the mouse.
Scientist do animal experimenting so us humans don’t get harmful
Effects from it and so its safe for humans to
Use such as: cosmetics, hygiene products and
Medication ect...

3. Benefits of animal experimenting
The benefits of animal experimenting is that thousands of
people are saved from diseases such as: swine flu, malaria also
cancer treatment. Powerful medical drugs and treatments are
all tested on animals before given to humans. All the
medication that are sold in chemists and in our cupboards all
have been tested on many times on animals and even the dose
of medication has been tested that’s why on the package or in
the package there’s a folded piece of paper saying how much
dose for a particular age and that's all tested on animal
experimenting. If we didn’t have animal testing people would
suffer greatly from cancer especially and diseases the world
would end very quickly and population of the world will
decrease rapidly. Also rodents have a short life span and
testing on a human will be too risky.

4. Detriments of animal experimenting
The detriments of animal experimenting is that experimenting don’t
always work because the living organism can be unpredictable on
the other hand it can harm animals greatly also animals have no
rights at all they can’t make the choice if they don’t or do want
to be experimented on. The people who experiment on them think
that animals have no feelings like us humans do. They don’t
realise animals are quite the same as humans but with different
features ,characteristics, personality and habitat every animal
has a feelings if they didn’t they wouldn't have a heart. These
animals have no way out they try to escape and fight but humans
are on the top of the food chain we are the main predator.

5. How many animals die
• A total of 2,714,800 animals are experimented on in 2000.
• More than 100 million animals are poisoned, burned, crippled, and
abused in other ways in U.S. labs each year.
According to the USDA, approximately:
 61% of animals used suffer no pain
 31% have pain relieved with anesthesia
 6% experience pain, as alleviation would compromise the validity
of the data. Much of this work is directed at an understanding of
pain.

6. Types of tests
 The Draize test- This test is where a substance is tested on a rabbit’s
eye this is because rabbits produce low amount much tears and the
rabbit’s eye doesn’t get washed out so it makes a yellow circle round the
rabbit’s eye, this test is for cosmetics.
 Dermal Toxicity test- This test is unpleasant skin reaction of essential
oils and other substances and this causes irritation, inflammation,
itching and sensitization this is used on rabbits and guinea pigs and
other animals they test the substance on shaved skin which is raw.
 Lethal dose test- The lethal dose (or LD) test measures the amount of a
toxic substance that will, in a single dose, kill a certain percentage of
animals in a test group. About five million dogs, rabbits, rats, monkeys,
and other animals die in lethal dose tests performed in the United
States.

10. Muslim beliefs on animal testing
Islam does allow testing and experiments on animals if it is for
improving human health or human safety. However Islam believes
that you should not be cruel to animals and these experiments
should only been done if absolutely necessary and are for the
benefit of humans. These experiments or testing should not
cause pain to the animal as the Qur'an says that animals have
feelings (all animals should be slaughtered in a painless way) This
is because the Qur'an says that animals are created by Allah
(God).
It is God who provided for you all manner of livestock, that you may
ride on some of them and from some you may derive your food.
And other uses in them for you to satisfy your heart's desires.
It is on them, as on ships, that you make your journeys.
--Qur'an 40:79-80

11. Modern Christians views on animal
testing
Modern Christian thinking is largely compassionate to animals and
less willing to accept that there is an unbridgeable gap between
animals and human beings.
Although most theologians(people who study nature of God and
religion belief) don't accept that animals have rights, they do
acknowledge that some animals display sufficient consciousness
and self-awareness to deserve ethical consideration.
The growth of the environmental movement has also radically
changed Christian ideas about the role human beings play in
relation to nature.
Few Christians nowadays think that nature exists to serve the
human race, and there is a general acceptance that human
authority over nature should be seen as stewardship and
partnership rather than power and abuse.
This has significantly softened Christian attitudes to animals.

12. Hinduism views on animal testing
Hindu quotes:
 "How can he practice true compassion who eats the flesh of an
animal to fatten his own flesh?"
 "Do not kill any animal for pleasure, see harmony in nature,
and lend a helping hand to all
living creatures.“
Hindu’s believe the cow is a sacred animal and shouldn’t be harmed
in anyway and not to be eaten.
"If someone were to ask me what the most important outward
manifestation of Hinduism was, I would suggest that it was the
idea of cow protection," --Mahatma Gandhi.

13. Judaism views on animal testing
 Judaism teaches that we are forbidden to be cruel to animals
and that we must treat them with care. Since animals are part of
God's creation, people have special responsibilities to them.
These concepts are short in the Hebrew phrase tsa'ar ba'alei
chayim, the biblical order not to cause "pain to any living
creature." While the Torah clearly indicates that people are to
have “power over the fish of the sea, and over the rooster of the
air, and over every living thing that creeps upon the earth" (Gen.
1:28), there was to be a basic relatedness, and people were to
consider the rights of animals. Animals are also God's
creatures, possessing sympathy and the capacity for feeling pain;
therefore they must be protected and treated with compassion
and honestly.
