Nowadays, thanks to technology, we are living in a rather comfortable world where all sorts of services, such as health facilities are available. However, there are some complications related to the development of those facilities. For example, the vivisection of animals is one of the greatest problems for the progress of medical research as many persons and organization such as the IDA: In Defense of Animal, and the BUAV: British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, are against the experiments that are carried out on those creatures. Vivisection is not only carried out for medical purpose, but also for testing cosmetics.
The main reason for which people are not in favour of vivisection is compassion. Being aware that animals like rabbits and rats and other creatures have to suffer make people feel concerned. Vivisection is a cruel practice as some animals suffer from spasmic response to certain products and get seriously ill and eventually die. Furthermore, most scientists do not respect the rights of these animals; they put the animals in small cages and do not care for them. These experimental animals are often not well nourished and are treated badly.
Another reason for which vivisection is a curse for animals is that some animals, unlike rabbits or rats, need time to reproduce and when they do; they give birth to only one or two babies. Practicing vivisection on these kinds of animals may lead them to extinction. Vivisection is disrespect to any kind of life, whether it is man or animal. In order to experiment on animals, scientists shave the animals’ skin and expose it to destructive substances. They place powerful chemicals in animal’s eyes. All of this is done just for a ‘new and improved’ cologne, dishwashing detergent or toothpaste.
Also, since animals do not always react similarly as man in all aspects, these experiments that are being done are no more informative than ‘tossing a coin’. Research works shows that in the past, drugs were tested without there being any adverse reaction, caused human to become critically ill and to die.
But despite all the inconvenience that vivisection causes, this method also has many benefits as we, as humans, we would care mostly for human beings. Vivisection is a very convenient way of doing experiments as some animals are available on a large scale and they multiply rapidly. These kinds of animals are unlimited and are unlikely to become extinct.
