good afternoon ladies and gentlemen my
name is Helena and today I am going to
tell you why animal testing is certainly
a disgrace and should be bad well before
I begin I would like to talk a little
bit about myself I am a you’re a student
from dollish College Beijing I am 13
years old and I have two cats
I am totally obsessed with them because
they’re cute really cute another fact is
that I am passionate in saving animals
and when someone is passionate about
something they will try their best to
make it even better so this is why I am
here to talk about why we should ban the
use of animal testing
what is animal testing animal testing
also known as liver section animal
experiment is basically the use of
non-human animals in experiments that
try to seek the control of their
behavior or biological system this can
cause the animals to be unhealthy or
even die now let me ask you all a
question when you pick up a beauty
product do you really know where I
really come from and do you know how
many lives could be sacrificed just for
that
today I am going to tell you why animal
testing is unreliable a barbaric way of
research and certainly why it should be
banned now on to my first point just
dr. Barry has stated mice are mice and
people are people two different things
testing on them is just a waste of time
yes animals do not have the same body
system as us and what might be good for
them may not have the same great effect
on us animals have been proven that nine
out of ten experimental drugs that work
on animals fail in humans either because
it is just too dangerous for our body
system or it just don’t work animal
testing can even delay research because
of its unreliability beauty products
drugs and other animal test products can
also cause health problems secondly it
is a barbaric way of research well I
mean is isn’t it just basically trial
and error on animals animal lives are
treated like dirt and although they
cannot speak they still have rights
approximately nineteen point five
percent of the animals used in testing
are killed every year and this is a
disgrace we should stop this also cures
for diseases such as stroke or asthma
had only made a few a little progress
through the few through the last few
centuries but how many animals did they
use hundreds thousands and millions a
lot of animal lives are just thrown away
and this must stop
consequently there are kind of
alternatives to an experiment and animal
testing isn’t necessary anymore it isn’t
necessary because of the advanced
technology that we have doctors now can
explore the root causes of disease so
more action could be taken well of
course
without the use of animal testing
finally I would like to say animal
testing just isn’t right and should
definitely be banned not only because it
is unreliable a barbaric way of research
but also we just shouldn’t throw lives
away for something that don’t even make
sense or can’t email work finally I will
like you all to do one thing only one
thing I will like you all to think of a
few questions when you get back home why
why does this have an effect on me and
what could I do about this thank you
