And this claim might have been true‚ many years ago. In this day in age‚ scientist have developed far more humane research methods to replace animal testing. Human simulators‚ for instance are more accurate than animals. Another argument you can make is that testing an animal is far more humane than testing an actual

Animal testing is a subject many people agree or disagree with. Animal testing had a great role in saving both humans and animals. It gave many opportunities to have better cures and drugs for medical usage. The cures have saved many lives of people and animals.

Our actions are justified by the simple concept of “who you would rather choose to die‚ a rat or a human?” According to Scholz et al. (2013) testing chemicals on vertebrates is essential to determine environmental hazards and to assess the risks. However‚ these tests are often considered inappropriate and raise ethical and financial concerns. Animal testing is not only unethical
