Recently we were able to see an impressive lecture from Manchester University about the pros and cons of animal testing and also animal rights.
It was definitely something that changed the way we think and something that has a huge impact these days. Testing on animals is complicated, common, and actually more problematic than you may believe. Below we will discuss the matter in detail and give you all the important pieces of the puzzle.
Testing On Animals: Basics
Why should animal testing be banned? Before you learn or get the answer you need to know something about the process itself. It has been used since 500 BC and it is extremely common today. In the United States only, over 26 million animals are used per year. Some are used for cosmetic testing on animals while others are used for testing the toxicity of certain medications, how safe a product is and so much more. Without this part of the testing, scientists would have to test the products on humans or don’t test them at all.
These days student’s thoughts are strong about this type of testing. As a matter of fact, you can see countless essay samples where students will express their opinion about this severe and huge topic today. If you want to know more, it is advised to check essay samples on the pros and cons of animal testing as soon as you can and see the specifics, learn about the process overall and understand what others have to say.
Many if not countless essay articles are written on this topic. Students like to write this because of the severity and also the effects the testing has. Pros and cons are usually the best way to form an article and present it to the university.
Pros of Animal Testing
If you have checked animals rights lectures you will see that one of the main pros of this process is safe for humans. Products are tested on animals first and if they are safe they will be moved on people. If not, they are back to a drawing board.
There are no alternatives to animal testing cosmetics that are equally effective and important. In fact, there are no alternatives for testing any kind of product. We can even say that the hands of the scientists are tied! In other words, there is no other way to determine the effects of a product with certainty than after animal testing. Some animals are very similar to us, humans which makes this point even greater. Learning here has a huge effect and a specific course of action is mandatory.
There are certain cases where scientists must use animals. Testing a product on a human is banned so this is the only alternative. You will probably learn more about this fact in school or at college.
Believe it or not, animal protection is still present. Some animals actually benefit from testing. Their lives are saved using vaccines and medications that an animal wouldn’t get normally. It is hard to believe but make sure to include the fact on your exam or in your education. It is a real and accurate fact.
Cons of Animal Testing
All people even your teachers know that this type of testing is inhumane and cruel. It is far from something an animal will want but they are held in captivity and forced to this. A human can give consent and choose to participate while an animal can’t.
Alternative methods are almost available. This refers to in vitro testing which you may come across when studying in some subjects. It is basically testing that involves human tissue and blood. There is no need for animals. However, it cannot be used in all cases.
Some animals are very different than humans. Here we can see two issues. First of all, a chemical or a product can be ineffective on an animal but can help people. Secondly, some animals don’t give any results at all but humans will definitely react to that product. You may have seen SoundCloud tests on animals and this is something we recommend you learn more about.
Many students who have great grades and have a great time on their campus know that these animals are far from protected. Only 5% have the rights which is a big issue.
What You Have To Say?
If you spend a lot of time online to enjoy online studying, learning new things, or just fun you probably have come across these topics. What do you have to say about this? Do you like animal testing and do you support science or you would like to ban it completely?
It actually depends on numerous factors but most people do not like the idea. At the end of the day, it is cruel and not something that an animal can choose. It is not safe and there are a lot of issues with this testing. In reality, there are more side effects than positive sides.
Conclusion
You may want to learn more or even join the animal rights movement and see how you can contribute to all of this and how you can save animals. Each person can do a lot of things and can help those animals. If you have a desire and you want to do something like this, now you know that you can and you should.

Viral K-beauty brand Pureseoul is opening ‘second, even bigger’ store in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
K-Beauty brand Pureseoul has announced plans for a second Manchester store, and this time, they’re taking on the Trafford Centre.
Packed full of cult Korean beauty products including skincare and make-up, Pureseoul had an impressive launch into the city with its Arndale opening last year.
Anyone with a passing interest in skincare and beauty knows that no one makes products quite like Korea.
From facemasks and serums to lip tints and eyeshadow palettes, Pureseoul is a haven for all things beauty.
And following its northern debut last year, the beauty retailer is now setting its sights on an ‘even bigger’ base for us.
Pureseoul has confirmed it’s taken on a unit at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, which will be its 11th in the UK.
Co-founder Gracie Tullio said: “This isn’t just another Manchester store.

“Our northern community is incredibly loyal and engaged. Arndale brought the bright energy of the city – students, young professionals, Gen-Z K-Beauty lovers.
“Trafford Centre offers an opportunity for something different: families, day-trippers, weekend explorers, with time to dwell and explore our curations.
“We’ve always known there were thousands more fans we hadn’t been able to reach – until now!”

Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, said: “We’re really excited to welcome PURESEOUL to Trafford Centre – it’s a fantastic addition to our ever-growing beauty offering.
“We’re seeing a real boom in the beauty sector at the centre, with more and more visitors coming to us as a one-stop destination for all things beauty.
“As the top-rated Korean beauty brand in the UK, with a hugely popular following, PURESEOUL brings something fresh and exciting to that mix, which we’re sure will really resonate with our visitors.”
Full list of road closures set to be in place as Manchester Day 2025 takes over the city
Emily Sergeant
Manchester Day is back for 2025 this weekend, and the full list of road closures set to be in place has been confirmed.
Now that schools are officially out across Greater Manchester, and the summer holidays are well and truly here, the hugely-popular Manchester Day is making a return once again this Saturday 26 July, and as always, it’s set to be ‘the day summer officially starts’ in the city centre – with a massive celebration of ‘all things Mancunian’ on the cards.
The theme of this year’s annual event is music, and it’s inspired by Manchester’s spectacular summer of sound, spearheaded by Oasis Live ’25 that recently concluded at Heaton Park.
The day will be packed full of free events and activities to get involved with.

As always, activities will be taking place right across the city centre – from St Ann’s Square to Cathedral Gardens, and everywhere in between.
Organisers say there will be plenty of chances throughout the day for visitors, both young and old, to get stuck in, try their hand at making music and maybe even uncover a hidden musical talent they didn’t know they had.
But of course, in order for the all the fun to go ahead as safely as possible, and as tends to be the case for events like these, Manchester City Council says it will need to make some temporary road closures to facilitate it.
The full list of road closures has now been confirmed by the Council, and there’s some major city centre thoroughfares set to be out of action.
Here’s everything you need to know.
