DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANIMAL TESTING;







Rabbits are commonly used in the testing of make-up. It works like this:

- First they put make up on the eyeball of the rabbit.

-Then they will just leave it there to see what happens.

If they were to do this to a human, our eyes would atomatically start watering to get the make up out. However a rabbits eyes dont work in the same way and so they are left in intense pain untill the make up starts to eat away the eyeball. I think this is extremely cruel as the rabbit has no way of getting the make up out of its eye and most of the time they will actually end up killing themselves in an effort to stop the pain.

Monkeys are used in experiments to find cures for dieases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons. Scientists say they are the best animal to use as their brains are the most like ours, and that they cant use anything else because nothing is as accurate as testing a real brain. However sources say that scientists have been known to saw open monkeys heads and inject toxins directly into the brain.I think this is also very cruel because the monkeys are usually dragged away from their families, transported for long lengths of time in cramped conditions and misstreated.
