Human or not they deserve to have a life they enjoy. Testing on animals takes their joy away. Once the public became aware that animals were being injured and killed from after being subjected to testing for human products, whether or not animal testing should be permitted has become a controversial debate. Some people think animal testing is a necessity for human safety. Other people think that animal testing is not essential, and harms animals unnecessarily. In comparing these arguments, the proper conclusion is that animal testing should not be permitted. Animal testing is not something that has to be done. Animals are abused and injured just so humans can more easily find products that they can use. This should not be allowed.
Animal testing is widespread and harms millions of animals all over the world. Many are tortured or …show more content…
Many products that are tested are tested for safety reasons. According to the FDA about 48% of animal drug testing is successful The Biomedical Research Association has said that almost every single medical breakthrough in the past 100 years has directly come from animal research. While this may be true, however, it also shows that 52% of animal drug tests fail. Thus, animal testing is not valid a majority of the time. Moreover, while the research asserts that medical breakthroughs resulted from animal testing, that does not mean that such breakthroughs would not have occurred through other methods. Just because scientists have used animal testing is no proof of its
