this is my speech for Fairfield Intermediate I hope you like it __ Animal testing speech __ first of all some people have found animals and have found that they ( the scientists) know how unnecessary animal testing is, yet, they continue to do it. Testing animals for the sake of humans is wrong, unnecessary, and inaccurate and needs to be banned. Animals are physically different from humans in many ways and an animal’s response to a drug can be different than a humans. If this is the case, then why are the drugs even experimented with in the first place? With so many misleading points, I don't understand how anyone can think that these experiments are alright. 95% of drugs passed by animal tests are immediately thrown away or forgotten about and thought of as useless or dangerous to humans.** By Bram __
 * How many of you here have animals at home? I myself have a cat at home that I love dearly. Occasionally, she will get sick and the vet will give me a liquid medicine to give her. Now, my cat will not drink this voluntarily so the vet gives me a little tube to put in the corner of my cats mouth to make her swallow it. I feel bad enough forcing my cat to take something that will help her. I can't imagine trying to force something down her throat to hurt her. Which is what scientists do to thousands of animals every day. Today, I’m here to convince you that testing on animals for the purpose of humans is wrong, unnecessary and also inaccurate. What I want to talk about over the next couple of minutes is, first, how inaccurate it is. Second, why it is wrong and unnecessary, and, third why it must change. The question is on many people’s minds- should animal testing be legal? No.
 * Today you have heard some of the facts of animal testing and some of my opinions and the opinions of others, I ask you to think about what I have said animals, So why do companies and industries spend thousands of dollars a year on these tests?, that is something I would like to know. Rodents are almost always the animals used in cancer research, however, rats are only 40% effective in determining the cause of cancer in humans. Also, less than 5% of human illnesses are ever seen in animals**
