For Animal testing – People like doctors and chemists say that animal testing should be allowed because they need to test out life saving drugs and medicines to make sure they work and to make sure they are not dangerous. Also they need to find out if the drug they are testing has any side effects or long term dangerous effects on the animal, so they also study the behavior of the test subject while it is being testing upon, which is very important.

Against animal testing- However, many people who think animal testing is wrong have their own views about it. They say it is cruel and wrong because we wouldn’t like it if we were tested upon and that its not fair to the animals if they suffer because the chemicals are dangerous. Also, animal testing for less important things like cosmetics (soaps, face cream etc) should be banned as it is just a waste of time and if the testers think the substance is dangerous they should not use it.

Animal hunting – Most people in the world say that animal hunting should be banned if they are being hunted for sport, like sharks.This is extinguishing the earths population of the species and they may well die out. Most future generations may not be able to see other animals if hunting in large numbers for sport continues for much longer.

6. My Conclusion To conclude, I think that animal testing for life saving medicine should be allowed as it is important if people get ill otherwise they might die from lack of treatment because the medicines havent been tested. I also think that animal testing for cosmetics should be banned because its not important and it causes the animals discomfort and is bad for their health as they are `trapped’ in testing labs and not able to have their freedom.

I think that hunting for sport should definitely be banned as it is cruel and will soon wipe out population in some animals if it is not stopped. Some animals have already become extinct due to excessive hunting for `fun’ or sport. So this further explains why it should be banned.
