Kia Ora, my name is Nevaeh and I am a year 7 at otaki college. I am writing to you about animal testing and why it should be banned. This is very important to me because it isn't right that animals are used for testing. They are not dummies, so they should be treated fair.
Over 100 million deaths a year because of animal testing, is that something you really want to hear? Animals endure chemicals being dropped into their eyes, injected into their bodies, forced up their nostrils and compelled down their throats. They are addicted to drugs, forced to inhale/ingest toxic substances, subjected to maternal deprivation, deafened, blinded, burned, staple and infected with viruses.
WIndex, Post-It's, Mars Candy, Bandaids, Kleenex and Vaseline, these are the most products tested on animals. Scientists are also testing drugs for human medication. Even though it's for your health and safety, it still isn't right.
In fact, the data shows that animal studies fail to predict real human outcomes in 50 to 99.7% of cases. The NIH (National Institutes of health) has noted that 95% of all drugs that are shown to be safe and effective in animal tests, fail in human trials because they don't work or are dangerous.
As you can see animal testing is harmful and is not alright. These reasons are to show you how sad it is. So we should stop now!
Yours sincerely,
Nevaeh
