ANIMAL LAB TESTING

Hi my name is Rhea, I am 11 years old and my exhibition inquiry is Animal Lab Testing.

I chose this topic because I am very passionate about Animals and prevention of animal cruelty. I know a lot about animal cruelty but I didn’t know anything about animal Lab Testing. So then I decided I wanted to learn more about Animal Lab Testing which now I really want to help preventing

Central Idea: Human activity can affect the welfare of animals

Lines of inquiry:

Reasons for animal Lab testing
The impact of testing on lab animals
our responsibility towards the welfare of animals

Transdisciplinary Theme: How the world works – The impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment.

Key concepts: Responsibility Causation Form

Related concepts:

Animals
Conservation
Welfare

Learner Profile Attributes: Knowledgeable Communicator

UN Sustainable Goals:

The UNSG that I picked was Life on land which is Goal number 15. Because my inquiry was Animal Lab Testing and Goal number 15 is about life on land.

Approaches to learning:

Research skills – Synthesizing and Interpretation, Creating

Communication skills. listening , writing

During my research I found interesting – Several different types of animals are used in animal testing but the most common include mice, horses, fish, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, farm animals, birds, cats, dogs, mini pigs and non-human primates (in some countries monkeys and chimpanzees).

It is estimated that over 115 million animals are used in animal lab testing every year. This number is not exact because only a small portion of countries publish data concerning animals in labs and research so the number is unknown. A good example of this is that 90 percent of the animals that are tested in the USA are excluded from the statistics that are published from the US department of agriculture so the official number from the USA is very underestimated.

More than 12 million animals are tested within the European Union in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom alone more than 3 million animals are tested on every year. This number excludes animals which have been specifically bred for testing, but are surplus from other industries. These animals still suffer and are deprived of their life but still they are not included in the British statistics.

Things I made to Help spread awareness

Testing.

Here is a link to the website I made to spread information and awareness about Animal Lab Testing. https://sites.google.com/misp.org/animal-lab-testing/home

Here is a link to the Poem I wrote about Animal Lab Testing.

Action I am going to take – I will look at the label on any product I buy to see if it has been tested on animals or not and if they are then I will try to avoid them as much as I can;. I will also try to spread awareness about Animal Lab Testing and I will donate money to companies that are trying to prevent Animal Lab Testing like Freegles.

Our Responsibility towards preventing Animal Lab Testing –

Check the labels of products before buying to see if they used animal lab testing
Spread awareness about animal lab testing so more people know about it
If you have any products from companies that participate in animal lab testing, finish the product and don’t buy it again.

If we all pitch in with the help of these 3 tips, hopefully animal lab testing will end for good.
