Animals are a crucial part of scientific research as it helps scientists reveal what substances do what to different things. However, some believe that it is cruel and that's where the Animal Rights Protests start.
That really depends on who you are.
Here is a compare and contrast:
Animals SHOUDNT:
Animals shouldn't be used to conduct such experiments because it endangers THEIR lives and could hurt them in anyway.
Animal SHOULD:
Animals, on the other hand, should be tested to make sure the chemical is safe for humans. I mean, i doubt there are many humans who will volunteer to be tested. The scientists need alot of animals for tests to try new chemicals .
Really it is personal decision.
However you must decide what you class as scientific research or experimentation. Most people will think of mice in labs growing ears on their back or something similar. However every dog food on the market will have been tested on animals to determine the correct amount that should be fed to your dog, the same goes for cat food ect..
I have been involved in studies which looked at the behaviour of wild birds during mating season and also at food preference in wild blue tits, these are scientific studies, do these count?
NO! think of it this way how would you like it if yo were stuck with needles and most people who do this are mean to the animals and its not right.
This is a complicated issue. It's important to distinguish between medical research and other scientific research that can save human lives; and, on the other hand, research that is done for the sake of cosmetics, body products, household cleaners, etc.
no definatly not
On what grounds do you believe that the experiments and results are currently a secret?
No, Animals should not be tested, because animals are killed during the experiments and suffering during studies and they die in vain when they are tested.
No.
Animal experiments are acceptable because human experiments aren't good. Since animals have systems like humans, it is acceptable to experiment on them.
there well there well
no!
Yes
No, some animals have painful deaths when they do that
cause animals differ from humans and they have different abilities and their abilities are based on their medical research
Some examples are as following: a) Animals are our equals b) That animals feel pain and suffering, just as we humans do c) Some researches are unnecessary and cause cruelty to animals for no reason
Sadly yes but people are trying to prevent it from happening. But with a bit of luck it should stop soon.
We learn a lot by doing experiments.
