"Come and help our animals by donating money to this organisation". That is what I hear on commercials almost everyday talking about animals in general getting hurt. Even if its Cruelty, abandonment, or abusement. However there is one topic animal testing that I thinks should be talked about. Animal testing should be illegal for three reasons, //**-The reactions of a drug in an animals body is quite different from the reaction in a human. -Animals are in an unnatural to the drugs in the same way compared to their potential reaction in a natural environment. -It cost a lot of money to maintain the testing experiment.**//

The first reason to oppose animal testing is because the reaction of a drug in an animal's body is quite different from the reaction in a human. The few animal's as possible and to ensure their right and proper care. Two or more species are typically tested because a drug may affect one differently from another. //**61% of animals used suffer no pain, 31% have pain relived with anesthesia, 6% experience pain**//. The reaction of a drug in animal's body can and is different from humans. The stress that animal's endure in labs can affect experiments, making the results meaningless. Animal experiments can be misleading because of the data collected. The second reason to oppose animal testing is because animals are in unnatural environment they will be under stress. Meaning they won't read the drugs in the same. Since the animals are kept in artificial conditions and not their normal conditions or consistent results. All animals do not have the same results as the others and that is also time progressing, that takes a longer time with really good data. Animal testing result might not be right because of the conditions and stress that the animals are under. The third reason to oppose animal testing is because it's cost a lot of money to maintain the testing experiment. Animal testing generally costs an enormous amount of money, as the animal's must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. Animal testing may go over the days to months and cost more incurred. Just the animal's themselves also costed. Every year the [price goes higher because of taking the experiments. Animal testing should be illegal because the cost of animal testing is a lot of money by caring for the experiment. Some may argue that the people there might have to do more test and use monkeys. Since they are the closes to being human. But those test can still be wrong because of there data that the machine gets. Monkeys might have a different reaction or part to the experiment. The animals, and machines cannot be counted on. Others might say animal's don't matter if they have stress it's not like they get gray hair from it. Animals can adopt from the environment. It does matter because animal's show feelings mad, happy, and many more like us and stress is one. Some cant not adapt because they can tell when it's home and not home is there only way to adapt and be normal. They were put into were they was born and to be put somewhere else is abnormal. They also may say if you do less money like cut back on certain things that the animal's need like food, water and etc. With collecting data and experiment fast will not be or may not be right. Even if you cut back if you do it will not be the same result as it would if you didnt cut back. The data thats collected if it's collected to fasdt then it might be wrong. The animal's will not adopt because of that at all. These are explains of what certain people do with animal testing. //**- And this might not be all. Other reports have stated that the lipton brand uses animal products in thier teas— like blood. To dye it the right color. Seven endangered green sea turtles in a University of British Col **////** umbia research lab will be killed in order to determine why turtles die when they get caught in trawl nets. **//  Some of the products that commonly involve animal testing are:
 * Rats, mice, and other rodents make up 85-90% of all research animals.
 * Only 0.5% are non-human primates.
 * 1 to 1.5% of research animals are dogs and cat.
 * Approximately 17-22 million animal's are used in research each year.
 * Cosmetics
 * Drugs
 * Food additives
 * Supplements
 * Household products
 * Pesticides
 * Industrial chemicals

In conclusion, I believe that animal testing should be abolished in the United States and all over the world. The animal's count planet to with everything to. Animal testing might have some good things with medicines and etc. However I don't want to live with having that cure or product on me or in me if it costed a life. Animals have been here since the beginning of time. So to wipe them off the planert earth for our needs or sometimes worthless needs it stupid and does not count.
