FREE ESSAY ON ANIMAL TESTING

ANIMAL TESTING

Speaking Outline: Animal Testing
Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience about the three major ways of how scientific
experiments on animal is inhumane.
Introduction
I. Put yourself into an animal's position. Imagine that you are being poked and probed by
needles for the benefits of humans.
II. Animals are being abuse more and more everyday in scientific experiments.
III. I have pets and I'm against animal testing, so knowing that animals are used in
research is appalling.
IV. Some research and scientific experiments are impractical and immoral. Animals are
being overly abuse.
V. Today, I am going to discuss to you about the three major ways of how scientific
experiments on animal is inhumane: there is unnecessary abuse, it is unethical, and most
of the experiments are unneeded.
Body
I. The first major way of how scientific experiments on animals are inhumane is the
unnecessary abuse.
A. Animals are in an unnatural environment.
1. They are constantly being locked up, so they can't grow normally like others in their
species.
B. Animals are injected with unnatural, man-made chemicals.
1. The Environmental Protection Agency plan to do a test to evaluate the effects of
industrial chemicals on the human hormonal system by looking at animals reproductive
system.
a. Between 600,000 and 1.2 million animals will be killed for every 1,000 chemical
tested.
b. They estimated that between 5,000 and 87,000 chemicals would be tested.
c. There's a non-animal screening procedure called HTPS that could screen out many
chemicals from the need for further testing, thereby saving many animals' lives, but the
EPA still intends to use animal testing.
C. Radioactive materials are being used on animals.
1. Such radioactive materials are microwaves.
a. In India, they would put bunnies in microwaves just to observe what would happen.
2. Animals are trained using electrical materials.
a. Scientists train dogs using electrical shock.
II. The second major way of how scientific experiments on animals are inhumane is
unethical.
A. Animals are living organisms and should be treated like humans. 
B. They don't have a choice of whether they want to be tested or not.
C. We wouldn't want to be injected with chemicals and be physically abused, so why should
they?
III. The third major way of how scientific experiments on animals are inhumane is
unnecessary.
A. Animals are being killed by useless experiments that don't even benefit humans. 
1. One example is at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. They
are doing useless lug experiments on dogs.
a. They would remove 68% of those foxhound's lungs and forced them to run on treadmills
with masks placed over their faces.
b. To fit the mask, the dog canine teeth are cut down.
c. After exercises are completed, the dogs are killed and their lugs are examined.
B. According to R. Hamlin, D.V.M. said, "The only conclusion I can reach is that
tremendous pain and suffering are being inflicted upon helpless dogs under the guise of
research, and the results being attained are admittedly of no benefits to mankind."
Conclusion
I. In conclusion, animal testing should not be allowed, if not then at least limit it.
It's better saving some, than none at all.
II. The abuse on animals are not necessary, it's unethical, and most of the time useless
to humans.
III. Animal testing is cruel and merciless.
IV. Treat animals as if they are humans since they are living souls too. Try to put
yourself "in their shoes."
