Opponents of animal testing argue that these experiments cause immense psychological and physical pain to animals and thus should be banned‚ while others highlight the public attention that animal testing can save a great number of human lives as this method provides scientists with much valuable information that cannot be received in any other way.

Animal testing is an unnecessary measure that involves inhumane procedures‚ costly tests‚ wasteful outcomes‚ and alternative methods. Animal testing is a widely known method that has been used in science ever since 500 B.C‚ but over the years technological alternatives have been made. Many people assume that animal testing is the only ethical and precise method of testing drugs‚ cosmetics‚ and foods‚ but in reality animal testing is useless.
