Should Animals Should Not Be Used For Research?
Animals should not be used for research
Imagine an animal suffering, with no way to help itself. Imagine a human being forcing an animal to suffer and not doing anything to help. This is what happens when animals are used for research to test products that most people do use. Every year almost 8,000 animals suffer from being used for research. Animals are subjected to burns, electric shocks, and other painful experiences that researchers subject them too. Animals are given diseases from the researchers that they normally wouldn't be able to pick up. Animals are suffering from these experiments and no one does anything to help it.

So many animals a year are suffering from being used for research but like the article ¨Animal Testing: Bad¨ says, most of the experiments are not even relevant to human health and do not meaningly help
