Animal Testing

Animal testing is the use of animals in experiments and researches for the creation of medicine, cosmetics, and biological courses. During the process of animal testing animals are often treated brutally; the tested animals often suffered through the injection of medicine, poisoning, burning skin, brain damage, blinding, and in the end, death.

Although many believe that animal testing allowed advances in researches and successions in the creation of medicine, only few of these did succeed. According to an article from the Journal of the American Medical Association, most medicines developed from animal testing do not work on human, and those that do work, are not necessarily safe to consume. The PETA organization, an American animal right organization, estimated that in 2014, the United States used around 1 million animals and 100 million mice for animal testing. Nevertheless, all that accompanied the death of the millions of lives was the failed and useless products in the trashcan. Are the cost of these millions of lives really worthed for their price?

In the paragraphs, I implied some of Zinsser’s advices in writing. One advice that I used is the avoidance of the little qualifiers such as “a little” and “pretty”. In the paragraph, I did not include much of these little qualifiers because they may weaken my point and style. Another advice that I used from Zinsser was the short paragraphs.  I kept my paragraphs short because it is easier to read and it makes my point clearer. Lastly a device that I used from Zinsser is period. In the end of the first paragraph, I used period after the word death because it shows how serious the issue of animal testing gets.
