94% of the drugs pass on animals testing but fail on human. The low predictivity of animal experiments in research areas allowing direct comparisons of mouse versus human data puts strong doubt on the usefulness of animal data as key technology to predict human safety. “According to neurologist Aysha Akhtar, MD, MPH, over 100 stroke drugs that were effective when tested on animals have failed in humans, and over 85 HIV vaccines failed in humans after working well in non-human primates.” Finally, Animal tests do not reliably predict results in human beings and Animals are very different from human beings and therefore make poor test subjects. According to Humane Society International, animals and people make animals poor model for human being because “we are not 70 kg rats." Same people might say, Animals must be used in cases when ethical considerations prevent the use of human subjects. Animals can suffer like humans do, so it is speciesism to experiment on them while we refrain from experimenting on
