Animals are used for experiments and tests on a daily basis all around the world. Imagine being a lab rat or any sort of animal and your only purpose is to serve for experiments. The test subjects are being injected by drugs, vaccines and going through endless tests until their life runs out. This is a torturous act on the animals that are used. Is this something that people should allow to continue? Each year over 100 million animals are killed due to experiments and testing, most of them die from suffering through endless pain. One side of the argument emphasizes that nothing can replace the animals for the experiments and testing. The other side that projects the idea that there are plenty of things that could replace the animals during

The use of animals for commercial and scientific testing is inhumane. According to Dawkins, “all suffering is undesirable, whether it be in humans or animals”. The tests need to be conducted on animals because we don’t know what the reaction will be. Test subjects that are used go through endless suffering and pain on a daily basis because the research conducted isn’t near perfection. The scientists who are using animals as their test subject do not care about the animal’s lives. When the animals are being used as test subjects, they go through a lot of different reactions. Those animals are not given any anesthesia or pain relievers. A lot of animals are dead on a daily basis due to testing …show more content…
According to Watts, “computer models, such as virtual reconstructions of human molecular structures, can predict the toxicity of substances without invasive experiments on animals”. This means that better and more accurate ways to collect data exist which can replace the use of animals, but people are still using animals for commercial and scientific testing. Using those other ways to replace the animals for research will lessen the number of animals dying and suffering. While using those other ideas the technology can be improved and it is also saving
