People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has documented that "each year, more than 100 million animals are treated cruel within the laboratories of animal testing (Peta, par 1)." Performing research on animals should be illegal because it is unethical to sentence animals to life in a laboratory cage and intentionally cause them harm. Animals who are caged continuously without any freedom should be considered animal cruelty. Many researchers should also understand that animal testing does not always accurately predict results in humans. Animals are different from humans and that can bring about poor testing results. Research that involves testing animals should be banned and limited.
One of the reasons that animal research should be illegal is because it causes various types of animal abuse. Animals involved in testing develop psychological issues. Animals used for testing have to endure living in confinement throughout their whole life in a laboratory.

Instead of using animals for reliable test results, there are various types of alternative testing methods that can generate the same accurate testing results. Researchers need to focus on using alternative testing methods such as "vitro testing, micro dosing, and the use of artificial skin (ProCon par, 2)". It is time that animal research be banned and focus more on morally right research
