Should researchers be allowed to use animals in testing the safety of drugs, vaccines, medical devices, and cosmetics?
@8RLTJCF3yrs3Y
Yes but only rats or mice
@99HRFT41yr1Y
Yes, but the process should be regulated to ensure the animals are not unreasonably treated.
Only when they are at least 85% confident it will work and never for cosmetic’s
Only for less harmful experiments, and with a full understanding of the potential harm to the animals.
@9F9VNPV7mos7MO
Yes, so long as there is no harm done to the animals that the tests are being done to.
@9CQV8KDOne Nation9mos9MO
To every one but cosmetics
as long as treated with respect
@99WG3RQ1yr1Y
They should be allowed to test on animals such as rats and mice not bunnies also they should test on people who are in jail like X murderers
@99WFYKW1yr1Y
If bred for that purpose and are an invasive species
No. Use paedophiles and rapists instead
@99VRCY71yr1Y
as long as they don't cause major issue.
@99VR4Q51yr1Y
People can give a democratic vote to people to see if they are willing to take a test for a chash reward
@99VP73Y1yr1Y
No of course not they are living, breathing creatures or at least they are without the testing, that are getting tested against their will, humans can disagree animals can’t.
@99VNYNV1yr1Y
Try to use animals that aren’t as likely to be indanger or have a chance of extinction
Only if the researchers understand and aware of how much effect it would have on the animal, while only be able to test on animals less harmful experiements
Yes, but only when the research reach to final stage before human testing
@99R2D4ZOne Nation1yr1Y
Yes if animal is bred for that purpose
@9329XH52yrs2Y
For drugs, vaccines and medical devices
@92ZGK6F2yrs2Y
Yes, but not for cosmetics and only animals that are considered highly populated in the area they are gathering the animals from, such as “pests”
This question is so broad! No for cosmetics, but yes for things necessary for life, however it should be regulated, suffering should be minimised for the animal and we should be developing ways of testing that don't rely on animals.
@92HCK2P2yrs2Y
Yes but should be heavily regulated to avoid abuse and suffering.
@92H2RGX2yrs2Y
No test on people who have broken the law by hurting people or animals. It's the best deterent!
@92CJP5R2yrs2Y
No suffering for the animal
@92C8NLZ2yrs2Y
No, they should use criminals who have committed heinous crimes!
@92C3XDD2yrs2Y
No, they should use human trials.
@928BKJT2yrs2Y
Increase funding into more ethical testing options
@9288V862yrs2Y
Yes, but only when the drugs have been thoroughly tested
@9268RFN2yrs2Y
Yes but only where there is no suffering
@923XJTT2yrs2Y
Yes, if the products are for the good of human kind. (Not retail products).
@9236KWK2yrs2Y
No, any testing of human products should be conducted on humans
No, use rapists and pedophiles instead
Yes, but fund research into alternatives so we can eventually stop animal testing completely.
@8ZTD5RWOne Nation2yrs2Y
Yes but not for cosmetics or 'flavour development' or any other thing short of strictly medical and only within very strict guide lines which ensure minimal discomfort and suffering for the animals. Also, we need a system of information sharing in order to minimise the need for repeat experimentation.
@8ZRZMZG2yrs2Y
As long as it's humanely carried out and for medical studies and the like that will further the human race
@8R8LH293yrs3Y
I think they should test it on people who have comited bad crimes
@8MXZ5JJ3yrs3Y
Yes, testing dangerous formulations should not be done on Humans. Testing should be minimised
@9B5GXX212mos12MO
as long as there is no long term harm and the animals are not in any pain and are in adequate living conditions
@99Z9MFP1yr1Y
Only for a select set of species, ex rats
@99Z4Y5H1yr1Y
I do believe that it’s beneficial and important that they use some animals for testing but only when they are at least 85% confident it will work and never for cosmetic’s
@99Z6ZYW1yr1Y
Test on rapists instead.
@99YJJ861yr1Y
Use criminals that are in jail instead
@99GSFSK1yr1Y
No, humans are a better test dummy.
In most cases no, but some scientifc and medical research requires testing on animals like mice, and this should be allowed
No, unless there are no viable alternatives
No, this is animal cruelty and abuse.
