This has been the motive for an extreme amount of criticism by animal rights and protection activist groups. Activists do not believe in using an innocent animal as a testing tool for new medications, medical research, cures for cancers and other terminal diseases. The civilian’s in favor of animal testing present the argument that experimenting on animals for medical research has proven to be the most effective, less expensive, and statics show the most successful as far as studies go. The activist have succeeded in raising awareness at which have caused researchers to come up with a substitute for animals in drug research, a method called “The Three Rs”. This alternative consist of reduction, refinement, and replacement, this new process will implement less use and harm of animal involved in experiments. The substitution can include physico- chemical techniques, epidemiological surveys, tissue organ culture preparation, amongst a variety of others. The replacement portion of the process is replacing “protected” animals from being the testing source of the experiment, reduction is decreasing the amount of animals used for each experiment, and refinement is the act of lessening the pain, suffering, and stress the animal will endure. Although this new process is a step in right direction according to researchers, it was still not satisfactory to most of the activist group’s
