Animal Testing

         Dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies and rats are pets that are love, respected and treated as best friends to their owner’s .Animals are a big part of our society and a big part of our planet. Animals such as dogs and cats comfort and make their owners happy .Some dogs are even brought to hospitals to cheer patients up. Animals have a huge impact on our emotions, when were sad they make us happy, when we need to talk to someone they’re always there to listen. Animals also keep the food chain in our planet alive and healthy. Extinct and endangered animals can have a big impact on our planet. Without all the animals our food chain will collapse, that would make a terrible impact on the environment and even on us. Unfortunately about thirty three animals die world wide because of animal testing. In 1990-1997 research labs registered with the USDA reported killing at least 12,895,885 dogs, cats, primates, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, bears, armadillos, squirrels and wild rodents ,the number of deaths increase each year. Animal testing is like murder, animals are trapped in cages, tested on by many harmful chemicals and then once the result is recorded they are killed .Most of the time, the results of animal testing is wrong to humans and can affect us massively. There are many other alternatives than to kill animals slowly by testing things on them .Animal testing is torture, its murder, it’s not right.
          Just because animals don’t look like humans doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be treated unequally .Animals are like us and should not be tortured through animal testing because of this. Many animals are murdered and killed for all the harmful solutions and chemicals that are put in there body .Many animals suffer the cause of the reactions of some chemicals. They are just put back in their cages even though you can physically see there sorrow and suffering in their eyes. Millions of animals are killed from this torture every day, this just isn’t right. These animals suffer, all the consequences of animal testing when they did nothing to deserve this kind of pain .This is cruel, painful and a horrible way to die.
          Animal testing is cruel, treacherous and pointless. Human bodies and animals are different in how they work. Scientists who tests harmful chemicals on animals think they can solve a problem by doing so, well their wrong. Because of our different body structure the results of animal testing isn’t 100%accurate.Research reveals that only 5 to 25% of the animal tests and human results are agreeable! Most of the drugs passed by animal tests are now discarded as useless to humans – then why test in the first place? 88% of still-births on record are caused by drugs that are passed as ‘safe’ in animal tests. The fear and stress that the animals encounter in the labs can affect experiments, making the results meaningless.40%of humans show side effects that are supposed to be safe through animal testing. Animals are no different from us, they have a life and they should live every minute to the fullest rather than being stuck in a cage, suffering from the tests they have to go through.
          Why do animals have to be the one who suffers the pain of animal testing? There is no point anyway since not all of the results of animal testing are accurate, so why bother? The world of science has on record more than 400 methods that can effectively replace animal experiments, so why can’t we do that instead of animal testing? These methods include studies on human tissue culture, statistics and computer models. These methods would set the animals that were locked up in cages for research free and to let them go on with their lives.
          Cruelty torture, pain, suffering, sorrow, this is what all the animals are experiencing when they undergo animal testing. So many animals are killed by harmful chemicals for research that isn’t even 100%accurate.Animals doesn’t deserve this kind of torture. Animals are just like people and should not be treated this way. These animals have lives, that shouldn’t be spent in cages. Animals should be respected and treated the way you want them to treat you. Death is the only thing that the animals get for being researched on.

Anti - Abortion

          Abortion is a huge controversy throughout the world. Debates, arguments go back and forth about whether abortion should be legal or not. In my opinion I do not support abortion. This is like a murder, taking away an innocent life and that life is from a baby. In religious purposes it a sin. It can also kill the mother. Abortion is taking away an unborn baby out of a mother’s womb before it can experience life here on earth; I think this is just not right.
          Cutting up the baby and taking away its decapitated parts out from its mothers womb is basically what abortion is. Babies who have been aborted haven’t even seen there parents yet , they haven’t experienced the love and care from people around them, these babies had their life taken away before experiencing these beautiful things about life. They have not lived life to the fullest. These babies are innocent, they have not done anything wrong ,they did not do anything that will make them deserve this kind of torture.
          Abortion in religious purposes is a sin. The sixth commandment states " thou shall not kill" and abortion is when you kill an unborn child. Just because babies in their mothers womb are not born yet, doesn’t mean they are not human. These babies are like me and you, we were at that stage in the present when we were in our mothers womb. An unborn baby is a human and shouldn’t be taken for granted, that just because they are not born yet it is okay to kill them through abortion.
          Abortion does not only harm unborn babies, it can also harm and potentially kill the mother of the baby .Abortion is a very cruel and dangerous procedure done to take the life away of unwanted babies. Abortion can cause many health issues that are very dangerous to the woman’s body and can lead to death .This includes pelvic inflammatory disease which can damage the pelvis .Late in life abortion can even cause cervical cancer. It is estimated that three thousand women die from cervical cancer each year. This can also lead to complications of future pregnancies if you regret having an abortion and want another child. These complications include a high chance of miscarriage and premature births. In some cases it can also lead to infertility. Worldwide approximately 13% fo 600 00 pregnancies related death result from unsafe abortion ,example: unsanitary utensils.
          There is something else that mothers that have had an abortion goes through and that’s the emotional pain. Of course there is pain in having an abortion because you are basically letting a doctor kill your child that is part of you, that has grown inside of you, that is your very own baby. Emotional pain from having an abortion includes pain, guilt, anger and sadness. These emotions can follow you, mock you, and haunt you for a very long time.

 

          Some people may have said that they have been raped ,in an abusive relationship or can’t afford having to take care of a baby ,that’s why they want an abortion. But think about it ,just because of those reasons you would let these doctors you have never seen before rip you baby out of your womb. You’d rather see the baby lifeless ,suffering, with its decapitated parts everywhere rather than seeing you baby in two years running everywhere ,laughing, smiling ,having fun with their life ahead of them. What would you chose ?If you have been raped or in an abusive relationship and don’t want to keep the baby just because you were in this situation isn’t right. Just because you did not like the babies father doesn’t mean that you would kill your own baby. Think about it your baby would never become your baby without you. Just because of an unjust father, the baby is also yours. Your baby has been growing in your womb ,its your baby and belongs to you as well. Your baby is part of you .Imagine your child after two years when you refuse to have an abortion ,you’d be together all the time ,playing, laughing ,and having fun with life. Wouldn’t you want to have a life like that? If you cannot afford to take care of your baby you can go to the sisters of life, they will take you in with open arms and help you raise your child. No matter how old you are there are people who will love and care for you and your baby. Don’t give up .There are many choices you can choose to save your babies life other than abortion, don’t give up ,save a life.
