Why Shouldn T Animal Testing Continue

Animals should NOT be used for testing in labs. There are many reasons why this dilemma should stop. They have different bodies than humans so the tests may react different on them than on humans and that could lead to danger to people. I think if scientists have to lab test on something living then they should pick something overpopulated, but that still is not okay, therefore something needs to be figured out. Or instead of using helpless animals, they should use all natural products and take human volunteers willing to get tested on. Why risk poor helpless little animal’s lives? Why torture them?

Another reason is, “94% of drugs that pass animal tests fail human scientific trials.” So it’s not necessarily safe for humans after testing on animals. The commonly used LD50 (lethal dose 50) test involves finding out which amount of a chemical will kill 50% of the animals being used in the experiment. Anyone who agrees with this cruel treatment is
Animal testing usually costs a huge amount of money, as the animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. On top of that, animal testing may take place more than once and over the course of months, which means that added costs are incurred. There are companies who breed animals specifically for testing and animals can be purchased through them, which is not exactly healthy for the
