The True Pain Of Safety
Over many continents and through many time periods animal testing has had a strong presence in science. Many places and companies today have discontinued the use of animals due to its, at times, extremely inhumane practice. Though without the use of animals, many important discoveries, procedures, and vaccines wouldn’t have been found. Animal testing, though some has been found to be cruel, is a helpful tool for future discoveries, and should be continued today because of the usefulness in researching for the safety of humankind.
