speech about drug testing on animals

Testing drugs on animal should be allowed. My reasons are:
1. Animals do have feelings, I admit that, but what else are we going to test it on? Machines? Machines are ineffective, and expensive.
2. Most supporters of abolishing drug testing on animals state in their speech, or rather, question, how we would feel if humans and animals switched places during drug testing. How would I feel? Bad, of course, practically everyone would, but the fact is humans and animals CAN’T switch places.
3. The drug testers use the weakest and most vulnerable runts for the drug testing, who would have died anyway due to inability to hunt for itself or other natural reasons.
4. Also, most animals such as mice reproduce over 25X faster than a human, which means they can afford to lose some of the members of the family.
5. True, drugs are bad for both animals, which is exactly why we need to test them first.
6. Most people argue that if the drugs don’t work, we would have wasted a rat’s life. But think about if a drug did work and helped cure cancer or AIDS? Would it have been worth a rat’s life to save over a billion people from the disease. Both the people who currently have the disease and who normally would have gotten the disease in the future. Who knows? it might even have been you.
7. Drug testing also creates jobs. From the people who design the product to the people who actually do the testing.
8. Also, as my good friend Eugene has stated in his speech: “The humans would inject diabetes into a mouse’s stomach …etc.” but why in the world would we do that? Think about it. We already have discovered diabetes and know the symptoms.
9. A lot of people sitting down here in the audience believe in abolishing drug testing, but why do they? Is it because they truly believe in their reasons? Or is it some other reason? I used to believe in the abolishment of drug testing on animals, until I began to grow up and actually think about it. The young people here probably believe in banning of using animals as test subjects because that’s what their teachers and parents have indirectly taught them. The parents and teachers would say, don’t kill things, or during a world war II history lesson they would exclaim in anguish about the bloodshed the war caused. Indirectly leading for their students and children to get a mind set that way. An example of appealing to authority.
10. Which race in your opinion is more important? Humans or Rats? Probably humans right? Rats are annoying and they steal your food.
11. And these are the reasons why I believe testing drugs on animals should be allowed.
