Thesis Statement
The thesis statement of the essay is “animals should not be used in research or to test the safety
of products.”
Draft Outline
The introductory part of the research paper wills animal rights are severely violated while they
undergo any research procedures.
The main argument of the paper will focus on the amount of pain which experimental animals
are subjective to only to benefit the interests of humans. Furthermore, the paper will highlight the
way Draize LD50 test cause severe harm and often death to animals.
The paper will further shed light on a contradictory statement noting that animals are sacrificed
to amplify the safety level of products made for human use and consumption purposes.
Lastly, it will conclude by noting that animal testing should be eliminated as it violates animal
rights and further results to cause massive pain and suffering to the experimental animals
Introduction
Several people demonstrate various types of emotions towards animals, while many
individuals consider animals as key companions, whereas some perceive animals as mere means
of advancing medical techniques or progressing experimental research. Nevertheless individuals
view animals and the fact remains that animals are being highly exploited by research facilities
and other research organisations across the world. Using animals for research purposes and to
test the safety of products have been a subject of heated argument for decades. According to

Akhtar (2015) although humans typically advantage from successful animal research, the amount
of pain and suffer as well as death of animals do not show parity with the possible human
benefits produced through animal testing.
Discussion
Animal Testing Violates Animals’ Moral Right
Firstly, animal rights have been severely violated when they are used in research
procedures. According to Singh et al. (2016), animals have a fundamental moral right of
receiving respectful treatment. Such an inherent value is often disregarded when animals are
reduced to being near tools of mechanism in a scientific experiment. Carbone and Austin (2016)
have observed several similarities between animals and human beings particularly the way they
develop emotions perceived their surroundings, show specific behavioral patterns and experience
sufferings and pain. As a result, animals should be treated with similar level of dignity and
respect similar to the treatment which human beings tend to receive.
However Ziesche and Yampolskiy (2019) have claimed that regardless of the
fundamental ethical right, animal rights and authorities are highly violated and exploited by
engaging them into research activities. At this juncture, Singh et al. (2016) have shed light to be
events where animals are subjected to experimental tests which are severely painful and are
likely to cause permanent damage or death and most importantly they are never given the option
of not participating in the experiment. Drawing relevance to these facts, Carbone and Austin
(2016) have noted that animal experimentation is morally immoral regardless to the degree to
which human beings are likely to achieve from the experiments as the animals elementary right
has been infringed. Animals do not willingly sacrifice themselves for the advancement of human
