A quick definition of animal testing:

Animal testing is when scientists use animals to do experiments. They do this to learn about things like how animals and people work, how diseases work, and to test things like medicine and makeup. This can hurt and even kill the animals, so there are rules to make sure it's done in a way that's as safe and kind as possible. In the United States, there's a law called the Animal Welfare Act that says animal testing is okay as long as it's for a good reason and the scientists follow certain rules to make sure the animals are treated well.

A more thorough explanation:

Animal testing is when scientists use animals for research purposes. This can include studying biology, psychology, and diseases, as well as testing products like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. However, animal testing is controversial because it can cause harm and suffering to animals.

In the United States, animal testing is regulated by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). This law allows animal experiments as long as there is a valid scientific reason. Researchers must also consider non-animal alternatives, avoid repeating experiments, and provide pain relief to animals when necessary.

For example, a scientist might use mice to study the effects of a new drug on cancer cells. The mice would be given the drug and monitored to see if it has any positive or negative effects. This research could help develop new treatments for cancer, but it also involves harming animals.

Another example is testing cosmetics on rabbits to see if they cause skin irritation. The rabbits would have the product applied to their skin and monitored for any reactions. This type of testing is controversial because it involves causing pain and suffering to animals for a non-essential product.

Overall, animal testing is a complex issue with both benefits and drawbacks. While it can lead to important scientific discoveries, it also involves causing harm to animals. As a society, we must carefully consider the ethical implications of animal testing and work towards finding alternatives that are both effective and humane.
