Although animals and humans are different, they are both susceptible to pain. Scientists don't normally detain humans in cages and torture them for research, so why do they do it to animals? There are principles of ethics that must be followed during experiments. However, those principles only apply when experimenting on humans, when they should apply to any experiment on any living thing. A better alternative would be to experiment on criminals. Animals have never done anything to deserve this, while felons in our may world have. Although it may still be slightly unethical, it is undeniably better than testing on animals. This way, the justice system can punish criminals for scientific purposes, while keeping animals
