The controversy has erupted about how animals are being treated, how we should handle it, and what should be done about it. Animal testing should be stopped because it’s cruel and unjustified. People say that animal testing is good for research. But what if alternative testing methods already exist? There are other ways to gather important research

To support or not support animal testing practices has been a long debated topic. Animals have been used in medical and cosmetic tests since the 1900s leading to numerous medical treatment breakthroughs and ensuring the safety of everyday products we use. Recently animal advocate groups have called for the abolishment of animal testing, causing a divide on whether or not to continue animal testing. In order to keep innovating new solutions for diseases that plague our communities and loved ones,

An estimated 26 million animals are being tested on yearly. Animal testing has helped humanity in many ways ever since it started about 2,500 years ago. Cures have been created for many viruses and sicknesses but it has come with a cost to the animals. Animals are being put in horrendous living conditions that often cause them anxiety and pain. People in favor of animal of animal testing argue that we should keep testing on animals to further scientific research, while those against animal testing

Animal testing can be defined as the process of using animals in experiments. Normally the research such as biomedical researches, drug tests and toxicology tests are conducted in universities, medical schools, and pharmaceutical companies. Scientists use many types of animals in their experiments such as guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, monkeys, chimpanzees, rats, mice, dogs and cats.

In a cage that is only six inches longer and six inches wider than a dog's body, there is no room for a dog to run or get any of the physical activity necessary for their development.

Over 25 million animals are used in experiments in the US every year, and more than 170,000 of them are rabbits. Using animals in research is a commonly argued subject, and alternative testing methods now exist. Also testing animals is cruel, and drugs that pass animal tests may not always be safe for humans. Alternative testing methods such as artificial human skin, can be used to mimic real human skin. This method can produce more valuable results. Artificial skin is grown from human skin cells

Medical advancement, disease prevention, cosmetic testing—whatever the reason, animal testing is a relevant debate that individuals are confronted with more and more every day.
