The Pain Behind the Scenes
Suffering of animals during medical procedures
Animals are being taken away to do experiments for modern mankind. Not only they lose their homes and their families, they are most-likely going to get harmed during the process of the experiment. Although we do not feel anything or the animals will not respond much through the pain, but with our own eyes and think of it this way, these animals really are suffering in deep pain and they do not deserve to be treated this way.
​
Some said that these tests are slightly painful for most of the animals being tested. Only 6% percentage of the animals are feeling the pain from these experiments. Although those animals that are already being tested, they are not exactly set free back to where they came from, they are still going to run few more tests on them until the scientists get all the information they need. Usually wild animals are fed by their mothers, or eating freely but for laboratory animals, they are being fed by other sort of meals that bring them unnatural taste and they do not care whether those animals want to eat or not, just by forcing them to eat and swallow it. The scientists might not even care how much each of those animals’ appetite can take or even they will be allergic to the food they are feeding to them.
We understand these animals are being tested to bring medical supplies to heal our human body sickness. But somehow we should try to use less of these specific animals too, even if they did not get any painful damages during the experiment does not mean there would not be side effects. This will probably kill those animals slowly by time and that we may not even know what is going to happen to them.
​
There are other ways to find a cure rather than using animals to create medication. Examples like plants, specific kinds can also create medicine and can cure certain sickness too. We should encourage people to find out more other medical methods rather than just this animal test experiment. However, we can still use animal medication to cure ourselves, but we will need to pay for the cost of it. Just like modern days, to find a very curable symptom, the doctor will inform every patient about the amount of fee that is going to be charge for that medication. In other words, we are paying the cost for those animals who are suffering and being tested to make out a medication to heal us human from the sickness.
