Animal testing is cruel because testing animals is harsh‚ drugs that are pass by animal test aren’t safe‚ and could mislead researchers with cures or treatments. In the first place‚ testing animals is harsh and wrong. Some experiments involves force feeding animals‚ water deprivation‚ and forced inhalations

Do you want to see animals abused and killed sometimes for nothing? Animal testing is flawed and can produce very unreliable results. Around 26 million animals are used every year for scientific and commercial testing. These animals are used to determine the toxicity and effectiveness of medications before they test it on humans. Therefore animal testing should be banned. First of all‚ research on animals is sometimes flawed because of biased scientists. According to pro-con.org “87% of the studies
