and weak arguments alike. Those who would argue against animal testing have taken a stand due to the way it affects animals. Even in the best circumstances‚ the animals could easily be considered abused. Those in favor of animal testing‚ a quickly waning population‚ don’t seem to deny the abuse that exists. Rather‚ they argue that the pain is justified. To be clear‚ this article isn’t an argument of whether or not they are abused but if it is still justified. Forty years ago the argument against
