According to Yougenome.org, “scientist has been able to advance their knowledge of human and animal health and diseases dramatically.” About 400 years ago, a famous Greek doctor Galen used animals to discover how blood circulates in the body (FAQs). Henceforth, using animals for medical purpose started to grow because it helped human to discovered many new drugs. However, we’ve been using animals for research for a massive amount of time.

We have used so many living animals to find only a few drugs, and have already discovered countless ways to cure the disease without animals. It is time to drop the amount that we use.
