Greetings hivers and happy weekend 🥰💕
Scientists experimenting with animals in the laboratories is one thing that is so unfair. One act I see as inhumane but who will stand up for this poor creatures? No one has ever deemed it necessary to fight for this cause because everyone believes there is no any other alternative for scientists to know what will work or not.
Animals are what we know to be next to man and that is why many of us adopt them as pets in our homes to help keep us company. But it is very unfortunate that these creatures who brings joy to man is what is being sacrificed for the sack of man due to how man is considered most important.
My mother use to rear and have many goats 🐐 while I was growing up. Many of them that she sacrifices so much for them because I could remember vividly how she goes out every evening to cut green grass for them in huge amounts. And every two days will clean the ban where they sleep. Then I use to wonder 💭 what a love ❤️ this is. But as time went by and growing up, I began to understand and see the reason for all this love ❤️.
Some evening, she will bring them out to walk around the compound and environs, making sure they don’t cross to other peoples compound to avoid trouble. And as time went by they started giving birth. It was like their humans because of the way my mum will pay so much attention to them. And one time she lost one of them to death, I felt the pain she felt then, as if we lost a human.
These animals has life, feeling and go through pain too like humans and do not deserve the treatment they are getting from the scientists, using them for several test for the sack of humans. But I see this act as one that has no alternative and choice. Or is there? After all man is the highest of all after God.
Animals has rights therefore should not be seen as a being without protection or one that should not be respected. I feel why the scientists use animals to carry out laboratory test is all for the purpose to help and save man. And because there has not been other alternatives, this act has continued for many decades. Scientists believed that animals are lower living things when compared to man, therefore see it as the only way to help test out all that can be carried out in a man without making mistakes that can cost 💲 life.
I see this practice of testing and experimenting animals in the laboratory as one that is ethical because this practice has been able to help scientists consider which experiments should be tried out on man. Without these animal experimentation, scientists would not have gone far in some laboratory experiments, for the fear of not knowing if humans will survive through the experiments.
And I don’t think 💭 there is any way out of this very practice after all these years. Life has it that things must continue to evolve for man to progress in all endeavors . We all know how important these animals are to us but we have no choice because no human will sacrifice his or her self to be used for laboratory experiments. So I see this research as a dilemma we must wholeheartedly accept even though it’s heartbreaking ❤️🩹.
In conclusion, I see this practice as the only one thing that can provide solution to all what scientists needs to continue to progress without jeopardizing the life of humans. Its certainly that one thing that can not be changed easily.
