Human benefit should not overrule any damage or destruction to animals. Because the Animals can suffer like humans do, so it is speciesism to experiment on them while we refrain from experimenting on humans. Most experiments involving animals are flawed, wasting the lives of the animal subjects, Animal tests do not reliably predict results in human beings, and Drugs that pass animal tests are not necessarily safe for humans. There are the experiments in the United States that allows animals to…

Much of the testing has actually been proven useless, as the results do not prove to be accurate…
