million animals are killed every year around the world for animal testing. This horrific number needs to be reduced. While there are not yet any adequate replacements for animal testing‚ it is unreliable‚ unfair and expensive. Animal testing is unreliable. For example‚ Dr. Richard Kluasher‚ the former director of the national cancer institute states that “ We have cured cancer in mice for decades and it simply didn’t work in humans”.

shocking‚ burning‚ and killing animals is all in a day’s work for vivisectors A vivisector is someone who performs medical research on a live subject.

After conducting research on both sides of the issue‚ I have found that we should not replace animal testing with alternative methods at the present time.
