Animal testing is an inhumane, ineffective method of research. One reason is that these tests do not transition successfully into human trials. There is a low percentile of human diseases that are seen in animals. Over 98% of these illnesses never affect animals. Smoking was originally thought to be non-carcinogenic; this was because the cancer which was caused by smoking was difficult to reproduce in laboratory animals.
Another reason that animal testing is ineffective is because of the economic costs. Animal testing is a multi-billion euro industry. The maintenance of these animals such as transport, enclosures and equipment lead to unnecessary expenses which could be used in the development to find cures to illnesses instead of maintenance
