To develope vacines,medicines,research illnesses and diseases,develope surgical procedures and much more....the vast majority of medical testing is done on rats,mice,pigs and cows..they all feel pain and many die...
But if 10,000 laboratory rats die and provide the medical knowledge that can save the lives of 200 million children then its well worth it...
The American Medical Association (AMA) condones the use of animals in biomedical research. Oftentimes, there is no choice but to test on animals, since testing on humans is considered unethical.
i dont see nayhting bad about it, its research god made man above animals for a reason not so we go through live not knowing just because we are trying to save these animals, which there are enough of in this world. they dont even talk!
It would depend on which animal. If it has a brain, it can "feel" in one way or another. Animals with no brain like coral cannot feel, but they do react to negative stimuli as all living things do.
I would feel pretty good because I treat my animals amazingly. I actually spoil them so I would grow quite chubby.
Fewer animals will suffer, medical and scientific costs will decrease, and people will feel less guilty.
this would be hard to prove, but surely all animals will feel pain or ail sometimes in their life time
If you think about it humans are animals it is just that we are the only kind of animal that can stand on two feet and we can communicate with each other so testing on animals is almost like testing on one of your friends or a member of your family I love animals and i don't like seeing them being hurt so please help the cause to stop animal testing :)
Animal activists would disagree that it is ethical to use animals in medical experiments. Those who are against using animals for the purpose of medical experiments typically feel very strongly about this cause.
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
I feel they have good products, but would like to see more research results.
this is just a comment, why do you not have the answer?!?!?!?!?!? how am i supposed to do my homework, that is not supposed to be done on answers.com may i add, if you people don't do your research! i would really like an answer to the question soon because i feel this will complete my life, and my homework assignment, if i know what determines the type of animals that can be found in each biome.... thanks. :)
They feed the animals exactly what they would eat in the wild
