A. Animals are harmed during testing
Animals shouldn’t be harmed during testing.
Animals have feelings just like humans and they can also experience pain
Animals are forced to suffer during experiments
Most test animals are killed after an experiment.
Some experiments cause so much harm and suffering for animals so that killing would be more merciful for the animals than continuing the experiment.
In 2010, a research showed that 97,123 test animals were likely to experience pain and suffering and not be given any pain killers. (In the USA alone.)
B. Animal testing isn’t necessary for research
Animals are no longer needed for testing.
“Powerful computers allow us to predict the outcome of chemical interactions.”

Animals are forced to suffer in pain during experiments to test out medicine/products
“Rabbits being incapacitated in stocks with their eyelids held open by clips, sometimes for multiple days.” While testing eye irritation caused by shampoos and other products.
A study in 2016 by the USDA showed that during experiments, 71, 370 animals were suffering in pain while given no anesthesia.
Animal tested products are not always safe
Animals and humans are different so they react to drugs and medicine differently.
A great number of drugs that pass tests on animals aren’t safe for humans. About 94% of the products.
10,000 babies were born with severe deformities after thalidomide had been tested on animals during the 1950s sleeping pill thalidomide.
Why are the lives of tested animals wasted?
Most animal tests fail/have problems.
“The majority of animals used in biomedical research are killed during or after the experiments,” and “many suffer during the studies.”
Animals aren’t required for testing
There are alternative testing methods that can be used instead of animal testing.
Vitro testing, glass testing, has more relevant results because we can use human cells which will be more effective than testing on
