There are many things the scientific world is trying to keep from consumers. Unnecessary and unprofitable, not to mention cruel, animal testing. Many times these tests are being done unknown to the consumer and are only proving information that the consumer already knows. Such as the fact that shampoo and other hair care products burn ones eyes. We do not need to pour chemicals into defenseless rabbits eyes to prove that.

    Many scientist agree that these tests are senseless and cruel, to say the least. Let alone, animal testing is often inaccurate and can provide incorrect results. Chlomiphene Is a drug that decreases fertility in animals, induces human ovulation. If scientists had gone only by the animal testing they have done, many children who were conceived using this drug, would not be here today.

    Some tests even seem to be contributing to the medical world, but are not. Endotracheal Intubation, or the inserting of a tube into the mouth and trachea to help respiration, Is taught using kittens, small dogs, ferrets, and pigs. This causes bruising, bleeding, severe pain, and a lingering cough. Animals often die of suffocation. Most times the animals are intubated more than once by several inexperienced students, in a single training session. There are many other just as successful, but no where near as cruel, training methods. These include; hands-on training using mannequins, human cadavers, or actual patients. Actual patients are hardly ever used, but when they are, it encourages students to be more careful as the life of a human is in their hands. Sarah Krakauer a nurse who says, "People can learn intubation at least as well on non-animal models as on living creatures. Using models is less expensive and solves the problem of anatomical differences between cats and babies."
