In a website about animal testing, there are several facts that are named, such as these: more than 100 Million animals in US labs around the country are abused, poisoned, burned, and crippled every year. Also, 92% of the experimental drugs that scientists use on animals, are safe and effective for the animals but do not work for humans because they are too dangerous or they did not work. Animal testing is just awful to do because animals do not need to experience so much pain. Scientists should stop testing animals because it is cruel to animals and animals do not deserve to be treated so badly, and animal lives do not need to be put at risk in order to test something.

They think animals should be tested, because they really do not have rights, and we can do whatever we want to do to animals. Frankie L. Trull says in a 2015 newspaper about animal testing and it’s gift to humans, “Before human trials began, the re-engineered virus was injected into the brains of macaque monkeys, whose systems operate similarly to those of humans” (Trull 4). Scientists used monkeys for this experiment because they are a lot like us humans, so they used them to test these different things before exposing them to humans. However, animals do still feel pain and distress, and nobody should let them suffer. John Hart states, opposing this argument, in an article from 2010 about animals and what they have on humans, “Animal rights, properly understood, is a rigid belief system that says people have no right to domesticate animals, because what matters most in terms of moral value is the ability to feel pain and suffer” (Hart 4). Animals still do understand what pain is, even though they probably do not recognize it while it’s happening. There’s still a handful of people that think that it is okay to test animals, but, it’s wrong and animals are suffering and even dying everyday because of it.
Animals do not deserve to be treated so badly, and animal lives do not need to be put at risk in order to test something, are two of the many reasons that Scientists should stop testing animals. When people are at the store, they should avoid buying products that have been tested on by animals to try and prevent this from happening. Animals are different than people anyway, so having them test things for us is really not necessary. Also, animals lives are important to a lot of people, and to watch them suffer or even die is just
