Whether it is for the betterment of our society or the health of each individual behind the societies, animals must not be abused. Animal testing must be minimized. According to Ian Murnaghan, M.Sc, on his piece, “The Pros and Cons of Animal Testing,” the majority of the scientific society is strongly for animal testing. They see that humans are superior to animal life (Murnaghan). This belief justifies the use of animals in testing.
