Wrong! The Draize Test does not even provide information for the effective treatment of certain injuries that can occur from the products use. Numerous companies have been known to even market products that have been shown to be irritants in animal testing, and just provide small, unnoticeable warning labels on the side of the package. The LD-50 Test is supposed to yield information on different toxicities of specific substances, like the amount that needs to be ingested to harm people. But once more, since the results can vary between species, like elephants and mice, the predictions are very unreliable and almost impossible to attain. “One of the few studies that examined the differences in species reactions, found only a 5-25% correlation between harmful effects in people and the results of animal experiments” (Lan Shark). These two tests most certainly are not humane and cause great amounts of death to the species. The tests do not produce reliable evidence in helping humans, and if so it is very minimal. “Did you know that testing a drug or chemical on an animal provides no evidence that it is safe for humans? This is because each species of animal reacts in a different way to drugs and chemicals. Each species of animal differs in terms of metabolic rate, physiology, immunology, anatomy, genetics, etc.” (Make Cense). Alternative testing is what most consider the easiest way to reduce the number of animal testing stations throughout the world. There are many alternatives to animal testing today. “Clinical and epidemiological studies, cadavers, tissue cultures, cell cultures from human organs, and sophisticated computer simulators are just a few of the cheaper, much more reliable alternatives to animal research” (New England 84-85). New substitutes for irritancy tests have been infiltrated into use such as “egg membranes…vaccines from human tissues, and…pregnancy t...
