Conclusions
The Considered theme shows that the European Union attaches a significant concern to the rights and protection of animals against experiments. The will to improve the existing situation is clearly visible in the recent proposal of the European Commission, on amendment and modernization of the old Directive.
By using alternative methods introduced in the Proposal of the new Directive it will be possible to avoid current big expenses.
In my opinion, through making experiments on animals, and killing them, people does not notice how big loss it brings to the world of nature, but it all became subjected to the most important primacy – survival of the human being. Until people start to respect what is given by nature, they will be ill, that is why, it is very important to appreciate that is already given.…
The essay about Animal testings. The problem of experiments on animals is current these days. With the development of medicine there are required more and more animals which act as testing materials for probes, not only for medical preparations, but also chemical and food stuffs. Beside the new technologies in the area of medicine and other branches, the number of experiments does not decrease, but to the contrary, it tends to increase every year. Laboratories test, the result is received or not- the remaining is thrown away. Recently the European Union conducts the review of the Directive, which provides animals rights against experiments and usage for other scientific purposes. The European Commission made proposal to ask questions connected with animals protection, including such aspects, like animals care, feeding, reducing pain during experiments and many others. At present, the problem of animal experiments is not transparent enough to really influence on the limitation of tests. The open discussion is needed in this field to make this idea widely spread. It is also necessary to assess the scale of abusing animals .What is important to support this process is to extend the possibility of getting statistic data including how various kinds of animals are used, the purposes of their use, degree of cruelty of the procedures applied to them. In spite of the fact that every year the science moves forward, and it seems that alternative ways replacing experiments on animals for a long time already could be invented and used, the science demands the increasing expenses and experiments on animals continue to be made commercially.
