So you basicaly need arguments against testing human products on animals, right?

One could be that putting the poor animals through such a traumatic experience is completely unnecesary, the animals don't know what is going on, they don't understand it, they only know it hurts and they are scared

Their lives are as valuable as ours and there's no reason for us humans to ve keeping them captive for such experiments, there's double bar of morality set when it comes to what life is worth More and that says a Lot about human integrity, specially in this modern era where there Must be alternative options to not test on animals

well im putting keypoints to a powerpoint presentation bc the documents that i made have too much info and i cant put all of it in the ppt so i need “keypoints” to put and is also summarized

and pls no chatgpt or ai

like i think an example of a keypoint is “there are better alternatives to make medicines and makeup instead of using animals” and then i will be explaining what are the alternatives or how accurate is the alternative product and is it suitable to use alternatives instead of using animals

@subtle wharf here's smt, from my very brain (no for real, I came up with these by myself, had some classes about that

Animal cruelty in clinical essays

• using another living being only for human benefits (if the product is only used by humans at the end)
• as another living being, we should respect them as much as us, hence not harming them
• it's usually a question of emotions or intelligence, but again, shouldn't we value the fact that's it's living
• they aren't able to defend themselves (well there are ppl representing them, but it's not the same)
• for such as cosmetics, do we actually need such products? Isn't the pain caused useless, futile, compared to our goal?
• we're kinda hypocrite, we value some animals (cats, dogs), and agree we can use others ("fish", mice)

I think main points are justice, respect, balancing pros and cons

I would like to note that animal tests are necessary, especially for meds, and there's alrdy the 3R rules that aims to reduce the use of animals and respect them during essays

some points are converging, but u can still split them if u explain well
