Should Animal Testing Be Necessary?

There are millions of animals lives sacrificed for human research, people may claim those experiments are morally no difference with murders and be curious, do animal testing necessary? With reference to current issues on animal rights and academic studies on animal testing, I will illustrate that all animal testing should not be banned, they are crucial and significant to the medical development and can by no means substitute by other experimental methods. I will further explain that human have greater intrinsic value than animal, socially and religiously, they do not have the same rights.
Firstly, animal testing has overwhelming contribution on medical development especially on drugs and diseases. Other mammals have similar organs and body
This is the fastest method to determine which drugs they should use in that critical moment. Animals testing is used to investigate the pathogen of other epidemic and fatal diseases such as diabetes, SARS and cancer. Moreover, animal testing can apply in different aspects of medical research for example the exploration of new drugs. Animal testing can even save countless lives because scientists are able to reform the harmful medicines’ formula before they are selling in pharmacies. Safety of the drugs can be ensured and reduce other unexpected side effects for example allergy on human bodies after undergoing the animal testing. It provides scientists and pharmaceutical companies an indicator to improve the potency of new drugs after observing the animals’

According to the chapter 212 and 169 of the law of Hong Kong, you will face life in prison if you murder someone, but you will be charged HK$200000 and face 3 years in prison only for an animal death.

It mentioned humans were created in the image of God while animals were created for being human’s partners. In Genesis of bible, Noah made an ark for all the animals to dodge the coming deluge.
