Animal testing requires subjecting the animals to a series of studies to discover an unknown effect. This is done in a controlled environment. Here, the animals under experimentation are forced to undergo several tests that are consistently evaluated. With this, the scientists can inform us if a new more enhanced drug has been invented. Another thing is that, people's lives can be saved through animal experimentation.
Like all other experiments, not all end up a success. Sometimes multiple number of animals are required to know the effects. This is why we cannot experiment on human beings. A scientist needs ti use other forms of living things closest to men. That is why animals are chosen to be the specimen for a specific experimentation.
People say that using animals in trying to discover modern medicine or advance cure is cruel. Animals have their rights. Well, it would be better for the us to survive longer than the animal raise. That is why we are testing animals not just for the scientist's own benefit but for also the people who think that animals testing is wrong. We must not be carried away by our emotions, we should go back to the reality that we need better medicine in the future.
Yes, animal testing may not be humane but there is far more greater benefits we can derive from it. Imagine the lives that can be saved as a result of these experiments. Well, if scientists can device a way to make their experiments less stressful and be more animal friendly, then why not? Nothing is impossible these days.
