    (Round 1)

    I disagree with the statement because the animals would suffer immensely.

    Majority of animals in laboratories undergo painful experiments over days, months, years, or even
    decades. Laboratory animals experience immense pain and misery and life in a laboratory is often an
    unpleasant and terrifying experience.

    This is because, the animals would be kept alone in small barren steel cages with almost no room to
    move around and the animals would be stressed because they do not have any soft toys or soft
    beddings that could make them comfortable in those cages.

    Besides that, the animals would also be left alone without any companion, leading them to extreme
    loneliness. The laboratory animals would associate with humans with painful situations because they
    do not have the chance to feel the loving touch of a human being. Animals that require a lot of
    human attention would suffer terribly and they would panic whenever a human being tries to touch
    them with no way to hide.

    Inexperienced or irresponsible staff may mistreat animals in laboratories. Although there are fines
    for laboratories when animals are harmed or killed as a result of carelessness or when they fall short
    of minimal requirements for animal care, in practise, the fines are usually extremely low.

    animals in laboratories could also watch or hear other animals suffering which might be one of their
    siblings or parents or even their babies. When being exposed to this high level of stress for such a
    long time, the animals would eventually mutilate themselves. The animals would start to show
    aggressive behaviours by repetitively knocking, rocking or vocalizing as a way to relieve their anxiety.

    According to The Humane Society of United States, laboratories get their animals either from the
    wild, sold by brokers known as random source Class B dealers and directly obtained from animal
    shelters. Usually cats and dogs are taken from animal shelters and this practise is called as “pound
    seizures”. Different states have different pound seizure laws where some state does not allow such
    action while some do support it for example, in Oklahoma, animal shelters are required to give dogs
    and cats to laboratories rather than euthanizing them.

    Where do laboratories get the animals they use in experiments?

    (Round 2)
    I would suggest people to buy and support cruelty-free products rather than supporting popular
    brands that supports animal testing.

    According to Saima (2022), there are variety of reasons why avoiding animal cruelty is the best
    choice you can make. The large beauty industry is unclear about the cruelty involved in producing its
    products. Instead, they make an effort to conceal it by downplaying or disputing the use of animals
    in scientific research.

    Therefore, we need to take action and search for any cruelty-free shops that make sure their
    products are 100% cruelty-free.

    The Leaping Bunny is by far the most trusted cruelty-free certified shop that I have discovered. I
    usually shop here to buy make up products because of their guarantee in having non-animal tested
    products.

    The shop Leaping Bunny business have strict procedures and policies to verify that their products are
    truly cruelty-free.

    If you are not a fan of beauty products, you can also play a part by supporting, donating,and
    volunteering with different organizations that have the same mission to promote alternative testing
    methods and to put an end to animal testing.

    Putting an end to animal testing does not mean that we want to harm human lives. Scientists have
    developed a much quicker, easier, and a more reliable method of test the safety of a product.

    However, many companies are still hesistant to use this alternative because in some countries,
    animal testing are required to protect themselves against lawsuits by injured customers.
