Some of the animals could die an awful painful death and that is pretty sad to see people experiment on innocent animals.

What happens to animals in medical experiments will depend totally on who is controlling the experiments. It's true that some could die a painful death, but one would have to do extensive, non-biased research to determine how the animals are treated during experimentation and if any die such deaths as described above. It's best not to take everything you read or hear about any animal issues as the total truth as some are totally biased against any type of experimentation on animals of any type.

No matter what animal scientists experiment on, they do it in a vile and brutal way. Sometimes, scientists cut out the top of an animal's skull and put an electrical chip in there. You would be surprised how many animals suffer this kind of treatment a year - millions.

The type of experiments really depends on what happens to the animal. In most cases, the experiments involve invasive procedures, one of which is called vivisection. Animal experimentation is not necessary as all though non-human animals have similar bodies to humans, they are not identical, and the desired results are seldom produced. There are alternatives to animal experimentation, such as voluntary human dosing, but because it is cheaper to continue to torture involuntary individuals who have no rights under the current law, animal experimentation continues.

There is no justification for cruelty.

Scientists use animals for testing because they would rather test on the animals then test on humans but there are people out there who are fighting this and trying to make alternatives to animal testing.

Do science and religion agree over the status of animals?

In very broad terms perhaps. Most religions do not teach that animals enjoy any kind of afterlife. This is something that most scientists wouldn't even be bothered considering, at least in the context of their work. Many scientists use animals (some inhumanely and some responsibly) for various kinds of product testing. There may be some religions that consider some of this testing to be unethical or worse.

they can't. That is why some people want to ban scientists testing on animals because the animals always end up getting hurt or in some cases even dying


Why do scientists test on animals?

To be sure whatever they're testing is safe for human use, or application. Much medicinal testing, psychological research and much more has been done on animals, to avoid possible human injury, or lethality; at the animal's expense. However; animal testing has gone in to a steep decline in this modern era, due to animal rights movements.
