Pros And Cons Of Animal Testing

Decent Essays
Many animals die each year from animal testing. I don’t approve of companies testing on animals. I don’t approve of it because they could end up killing the animals they’re testing on.

This will mean a lot of jobs lost, but there are plenty more jobs in the world and it will only benefit our world.…
