Hi,guy. Im Vui. Im fifth speaker in group three
Becide the benefit of animal testing , it also has dowside
And I and HẰNG will present the cons of animal testing
LET ME START
+ Cruel and inhumane treatment.
Protocols applied in animal experiments are typically painful for the test
subject: Animals are restrained physically for extended periods, forced fed,
deprived of water and food, inflicted with painful wounds and burns to a
certain healing process, and even killed through neck-breaking.
Example: when testing to determine the irritation caused by cosmetics,
rabbit eyes are kept open using clips to prevent it from blinking away the
cosmetic being evaluated. These clips usually stay on for days so that the
rabbit stays in place; the clips are incapacitated.

+ Limitation of Animal Tests
Animal tests often miss the most important signs of toxicity ( /tɒk
ˈsɪs.ɪ.ti/) in humans
When examining a chemical ( /ˈkem.ɪ.kəl/), scientists frequently try to
determine whether sustained, very low-level exposure to it is safe for humans.
You spit away the toothpaste you've used after using just a dab; you don't
swallow a tube of it every morning and evening. Similar to how you don't
consume the chemicals used to create plastic food containers, you are
concerned about their safety because tiny amounts may end up in your
leftovers. In other words, researchers usually seek to find answers to queries
regarding the security of prolonged exposure to low concentrations of a
chemical, but it’s impossible to study these long-term effects in animals, since
most of them don’t live that long, and toxic effects are usually rare.
Animal tests are time-consuming limiting the number of chemicals that
can be tested
Animal experiments take a long time. For example, it takes around a decade
and $3,000,000 to perform all of the animal experiments required by the US
Environmental Protection Agency to register a single pesticide. And the
pesticide ingredient testing will kill up to 10,000 animals, including mice, rats,
rabbits, guinea pigs, and even dogs. Consider that tens of thousands of
chemicals are being tested for safety in countries all over the world - and that
new legislation in some countries will mandate more extensive testing of both
old and new chemicals. For example, the European Union's Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) legislation will
require animal testing on all new and current chemicals manufactured or
imported into the Europe Union.
Objections to animal testing
Even as many industries continue to rely on faulty animal tests, others are
confronting new laws that bans certain types of products from being tested on
animals. Animal testing and/or sales limitations on cosmetics have been
implemented in the European Union, India, Israel, Sao Paulo, Brazil, South
Korea, New Zealand, and Turkey. The United Kingdom went one step further
and prohibited animal testing of home chemicals (e.g., cleaning and laundry
products, air fresheners). As more people oppose to chemical testing on
animals, other governments are likely to follow suit.
that's all my part
