It's just wrong

All over the world, millions of helpless animals are being slaughtered for research by animal testers. TThe question I ask is 'why?'. There's no use for it. Some people may say that it speeds up research, but the truth to that is it may slow it down. Protesters account for some of the slowing down process but another reason, not looked at often, is that the product may take a different effect on the animals than it would on humans. Other then that, I think it's morally wrong. Killing and torturing other living creatures to test hair products and toothpaste is a sin against the animals. Okay, so there are some medical atvantages, sometimes, but if the medicine works on the animals then they can't be too far off from humans and the persons killing and messing with the animals lives should think about it. If the product works on the animals then it's just like killing or torturing another human being. We (the human race) think it's great, we're getting research done by using and destroying a 'lower being', but we unneccesarilly murder other creatures to do research that helps us out. We torture helpless animals to have nice hair and we entrap them for nice teeth or a nice fragrence. We use them for cures to diseaeses we created, it's not right. They live, not to destroy our race, but to keep theirs alive, mainly by staying away from us. They cause no harm to us yet we kill them and cage them for our benifit. Ask yourself this question. If killing
and inflicting suffering on others makes you cool, then I'm wrong, but it doesn't make you cool when you cause death and suffering, so really, who is the 'lower being' animals or humans???
Over all, it's just wrong.


I'm 13 years old and a vegitarian, I'm not against the human race, I'm adopting a child in a foreign country. I just think that animal testing is wrong... and nobody cares.
