Science is the knowledge of the universe. In other words, science studies the world. As we know – knowledge is power. No one would argue that science benefits people. However, science also harms. It harms other living organisms and the entire planet. Some of the scientific methods might be considered as savage and cruel methods. People would get into shock by contemplating these methods. I want to talk about experiments on animals and explain why I disagree with that.
First of all, before doing these experiments, one fact has to be understood by the experimenter. He has to understand, that an animal is also alive and it has feelings. Unfortunately, people just deny it.
Nowadays, there are a lot of experiments performed on animals. The majority of scientists believe that it is necessary and there is no other way. However, there are many people who oppose it. So what are the reasons for such attitude?
In the past, when science was not well developed and there were still billions of questions, these experiments were required. People just had no choice. They knew nothing about structural features and most of the qualities of a living organism. They had to do it. Their main reason was a thirst of knowledge. Nowadays, science generally has information about most of the living organisms. They know characteristics and predisposition to environment or both, external and internal factors that have an effect to a separate living organism. I find it useless and in most cases meaningless.

That’s the thing I would never understand. Everyone knows that the frog or bird has a different physiology. It’s different from human’s. Also, there illustrations on books or there might be models. We can avoid killings.
