Introduction
Hey, my name is Monika, great to see you all. Today I’m going to talk about Animal cruelty. Firstly, I’m gonna give you the basic information about bad behavior with animals and then, I’ll describe types of animal abuse providing you with the statistics and facts concerning the issue. Your questions are welcome at the end of the presentation.

The world of science has on record more than 400 methods that can effectively replace animal experiments. It is important to consider the options since at least thirty-three animals die in laboratories each second worldwide. There is no doubt that medical progress can be achieved without abusing animals.
