Using animals in experiments
It is estimated that more than 50 million animals are used in experiments each year in the United States. Unfortunately, no accurate figures are available to determine precisely how many animals are used in experiments in the U.S. or worldwide. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) does compile annual statistics on some animals used in ...
Animal testing
Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research, and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals, such as model organisms, in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study. This approach can be contrasted with field studies in which animals are observed in their natural environments or habitats.
Animal Testing: Animals Used in Experiments
Animal Experiments Throughout History: A Century of Suffering. PETA created an interactive timeline, "Without Consent," featuring almost 200 stories of animal experiments from the past century to open people's eyes to the long history of suffering inflicted on nonconsenting animals in laboratories and to challenge them to rethink this exploitation.
What Is Animal Testing & Which Animals Are Used For Testing?
Animal testing is the process of experimenting on live, non-human animals to assess the effectiveness or safety of cosmetics, household products, or medicines. These experiments often cause tremendous suffering for innocent subjects. Most animals used for testing are killed after the experiment is complete.
Introduction. Animal model-based research has been performed for a very long time. Ever since the 5 th century B.C., reports of experiments involving animals have been documented, but an increase in the frequency of their utilization has been observed since the 19 th century [].Most institutions for medical research around the world use non-human animals as experimental subjects [].
Animal Testing
Con 1 Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding, food and water deprivation, the infliction of burns and other wounds to study the healing process, the infliction of pain to study its effects and remedies, and "killing by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck-breaking, decapitation, or other means," according to Humane Society ...
Why Animal Research Is Necessary
For some types of research, animals must be engineered to have or lack certain genes (or the proteins made by these genes) in order to determine what role a gene and its protein might play in disease development. This is not possible to do in humans for legal, ethical, and scientific reasons. Researchers often recreate many serious diseases ...
Animal experimentation
Animal experimentation. Nonhuman animals are used in laboratories for a number of purposes. Examples of animal experimentation include product testing, use of animals as research models and as educational tools. ... The ways in which these animals can be harmed in experimental procedures, also known as vivisection, 3 vary. In almost all cases ...
Animal experimentation: the continuing debate
The use of animals in research and development has remained a subject of public debate for over a century. Although there is good evidence from opinion surveys that the public accepts the use of ...
On the past, present, and future of in vivo science
Instead, systematic heterogenization of experimental conditions might help to improve robustness of findings and hence the reproducibility of animal studies. Across all of science, we need a ...

Use of Laboratory Animals in Biomedical and Behavioral Research
1 Introduction. Animal experimentation has been a part of biomedical and behavioral research for several millennia; experiments with animals were conducted in Greece over 2,000 years ago. Many advances in medicine and in the understanding of how organisms function have been the direct result of animal experimentation.
Why Animal Research?
There are several reasons why the use of animals is critical for biomedical research: • Animals are biologically very similar to humans. In fact, mice share more than 98% DNA with us! • Animals are susceptible to many of the same health problems as humans - cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. • With a shorter life cycle than humans ...
An Estimate of the Number of Animals Used for Scientific Purposes
In 2008, we attempted to estimate the number of animals used in experiments worldwide for the year 2005. 1 Our estimate of 58.3 million animals was the first attempt to derive an evidenced, worldwide figure and was based on the available national reports and a prediction model that used publication rate as a proxy for the number of experiments in those countries without national reports.
Why Are Animals Used in Research?
Animals also offer experimental models that would be impossible to replicate using human subjects. Animals can be fed identical and closely monitored diets. As with inbred mice, members of some animal species are genetically identical, enabling researchers to compare different procedures on identical animals. Some animals have biological ...

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. 501 Front St., Norfolk, VA 23510. 757-622-PETA (7382) 757-622-0457 (fax) The facts on animal testing are clear: Researchers in U.S. laboratories kill more than 110 million animals in wasteful and unreliable experiments each year.
Why Do Scientists Experiment on Animals?
By ScienceAlert Staff. (Shanelle Hulse/EyeEm/Getty Images) Animal studies in science are experiments that control an animal's behaviour or physiology for study, often to serve as a model for human biology where testing on humans is impractical or unethical. The species or classification of animals used in testing largely depends on the goal of ...
Criteria for Selecting Experimental Animals
2. Criteria for Selecting Experimental Animals. Scientists who are planning experiments evaluate both animal and nonanimal approaches. If there are no suitable alternatives to the use of live animals, the appropriate species is selected on the basis of various scientific and practical factors, including the following: Which species will yield ...
About Animal Testing
Animal experiments are part of medical history, but history is where they belong. Compared to today's potential to understand the basis of human disease at cellular and molecular levels, experimenting on live animals seems positively primitive. So if we want better quality medical research, safer more effective pharmaceuticals and cures to ...

U.S. Law and Animal Experimentation: A Critical Primer
Every country's law permits medical experimentation on animals. While some countries protect particular kinds of animals from being subject to experimentation—notably great apes and endangered species—very few place concrete limitations on what researchers may cause animals to suffer, given sufficient scientific justification. What laws do, instead, is establish standards for the humane ...
A guide to open science practices for animal research
In all animal studies, unexpected deaths in experimental animals can occur and be the cause of lost data or missed opportunities to identify health problems [36,37]. To support researchers in designing their animal research, the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) has also developed the ...
19 Animal Science Lessons and Experiments
1. Animal Habitats. In the Animal Habitats lesson, students play a game in which different parts of the classroom represent different habitats. Students will need to figure out what the right habitat is for the animal card they are given as they think about the relationship between habitat and animal survival. 2.
Reimagining alternatives to animal testing
Sometimes the consequences of animal experiments can go beyond a couple of failed experiments. In France in 2016, six people were hospitalized and one man died during a clinical trial. The drug in question had been tested in mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys with dosages 400 times stronger than those given to the human volunteers, and no ill ...
