This still allows animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, and may even end in brain damage (“Animal” Is). Animals are still being used for drug testing and safety trails. As many as 800 animals are sometimes tested, expert’s note, before a drug is determines to be safe enough to proceed to a clinical trial. Newsweek medical reporter, John Ericson, wrote in March 2014 “Pick any drug you’ve heard of; it was probably tested on a rat” (“Animal Rights”). Laws make sure that animals have enough space, they are in the right temperature environment, and they are fed, and watered. The Animal Welfare act makes sure that animals get regular checks by veterinarians (“Should”).When the animals are being tested no matter how cruel or painful, the Animal Welfare act does not require pain killers to animals being tested during experimentation. The act excludes animals such as rats and cold blooded animals, this means they suffer and fell the testing while it is happening. Over 95 percent of animals are not provided with pain relief (“Animal” Is). Even though many think that because there is the Animal Welfare act to regulate the animals, that experimentation is still okay to do. There is only one specific law that truly protects only a certain amount of the species of animals that are being tested on, this is the AWA law. This law is the only law that protects animals the most. Even with these laws and regulations, people still end up leading into self-curiosity and self-experimentation on the animals
