Animal testing is cruel and inhuman! It is morally wrong to toture animals for our own benefit. Over 3 million animals have been tormented all in the name of research. It has been found that only 5-25% of side effects caused by medicines are accurately predicted. This leads me to wonder what is actually being gained by animal experimentation. It’s bad science! The Food and Drug Administration reported that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail on humans‚ making it wasteful

Early Greek physician-scientist‚ Aristotle (384 – 322 BC) performed experiments on living animals [1]. Just as the legendary Greek physician Galen (199 – 217 AD) performed experiments on animals‚ which led to advancements in the understanding of anatomy‚ physiology‚ pathology‚ and pharmacology [2]. Likewise‚ the twelfth century Arab physician Ibn Zuhr introduced animal testing as an experimental

aspects of animal experimentation is that most of the research is unreliable. According to Aysha Akhtar form the Library of Medicine‚ “The inability to reproduce the disease in animals so that it is congruent in relevant respects with human stroke has contributed to a high failure rate in drug development. More than 114 potential therapies initially tested in animals failed in human trials” (Akhtar Flaws of Animal Experimentation). If people cannot reproduce the effects of a stroke in an animal‚ then

There is estimated that 26 animals are used for testing‚ research and education in the US each year. More than 70.000 of them are nonhuman primates.

Is animal testing cruelty or science? This is the question that many people ask to themselves‚ and is one of the many controversial topics in today’s society. In my point of view animal testing is cruelty because animals can’t talk for themselves so they get kill and hurt‚ and we also violated their right by doing this.
