It's a fact that science helped
and today, in the 21st century,
continues to help the evolution of man.
But it seems that one side of science
remained in medieval times.
Today we are going to dicuss:
Animal testing
Vivisection is a type of experimentation that involves
the act of cutting,
drugging,
burning,
blinding,
shocking,
addicting,
shooting,
freezing,
infecting
and surgically mutilating
living beings.
It is estimated that more than 115 million animals
including mice, cats, dogs, non-human primates,
are used and killed in laboratories.
But these figures are not accurate since many animals,
like mice or rats for example,
are not counted,
Even if they are 95% of the animals used,
Also because other countries, like Brazil or China,
do not declare their statistics.
The earliest traces of vivisection date back to Greece
in the II and IV centuries BC
in the second and fourth centuries BC in the writings of Erasistratus and Aristotle,
who were among the first to experience living animals.
Throughout history this practice increased
as well as their criticisms.
Therefore, several acts were carried out
to regulate the experiments
like the Animal Welfare Act
But there is little that it does for the well-being of the animals,
since even in cases, it doesn't include all animals
and doesn't prevent millions of animals from dying every year
in the hands of "scientists."
A drug is used to paralyze the animals
so they do not move and "bother" the "scientists"
but that increases their sensitivity so that they feel even more the pain
There are different types of experiments,
today we will focus on two
1) Toxicity
of chemical products.
The study of toxic substances and their effects on living beings.
Chemicals in cleaning products,
or in cosmetics
toothpaste, makeup, shampoo,
toxins from cigarettes, etc.
There are different practices:
The most common method is LD50 or "Lethal Dose 50"
as it is allowed by the animal "protection" law.
This test is carried out with approximately 200 animals
and is based on exposing them to toxins
forcing them to consume them, to inhale them, etc.
Until half of the animals die.
Then the others are killed for the examination of their internal organs.
The relevance respect to the human species, is little to nothing.
The result in a 2 kg rabbit that was not properly fed,
who lived all his life in a cage
and who was exposed to huge amounts of shampoo for hours
doesn't apply to a person weighing 60 kg
who washes his hair with the product 4 times a week.
No
The Draize Test
is used to measure irritation by seeing the damage
a substance causes to the eyes and skin of animals.
Usually rabbits are used because they are cheap,
easy to handle and because,
although they have a tear duct that allows them
to keep their eyes lubricated,
they do not cry as humans do for example.
In the eye irritation test,
the products are applied directly to the eyes of live animals
The animals suffer from extreme pain,
hemorrhages and ulcers
so they immobilize them
so that they can not scratch and alter the experiment.
It is also done by dermal irritation
(of the skin)
the animals' hair is shaved or stripped with adhesive tape
and the substances are applied directly or injected under the skin.
Again, completely irrelevant to our species
because there are notable differences
the absorption of the skin,
the frequency of blinking, etc.
Let's illustrate this
To study ammonium persulfate,
ie a hair bleach compound,
rabbits are forced to inhale this substance from an aerosol
for 4 hours
to see if their respiratory tract is affected.
It seems to me that you don't have to be a scientist
to realize that this is obvious.
In another case, to test the lipstick
oral doses were given to mice
then they are killed to study their bone marrow.
Importance?
I do not think none of us
eat lipstick for breakfast
So... 0
2) Toxicology of pharmaceutical drugs
and their efficiency
To comply with US and European Union regulations,
prescribed drugs must be tested on two different animal species
before being tested in humans.
So what do they do?
They sicken the animals by injecting the virus directly
But we have to keep in mind that an imitation of the
symptoms is not the same as the disease and its initial causes.
These animals are not living in the
same circumstances as humans
they don't smoke, they don't drink
they do not have stress because of work,
they do not socialize
and they live in a cage.
Totally different situations
Experiences and scientific tests are important
but animal testing is the wrong method,
ethically and scientifically.
A study done in 2006 by the FDA
showed that 9 out of 10 drugs
that were effective when tested on animals
failed to be tested in animals.
Another study showed that 81%
of animal tests
didn't show the side effects of 43 drugs
that in the end damaged the patients.
Scientists explain that it is impossible
to predict humans' reactions by testing on other animals.
As the effects vary from one person to another
Imagine the difference between species.
As a dog is different from a cat
and a monkey to a human.
In the United States,
due to adverse drug reactions
106.000 people die
and another 2,225,000 are hospitalized each year.
So, by basing ourselves on experiments in live animals,
that 92% of cases are imprecise,
we are, on one side putting the health of the consumer at risk,
and, on the other hand, we are killing millions of animals
unnecessarily.
So what's the real reason why,
in 2017
they are still trying on animals?
I'll explain it in my next video
I'm gonna do a series of videos on Animal Testing
