To begin with, one of the advantages of animal testing is to find scientific discoveries to expand human lives. Animals are used to invent medical treatments such as ascertaining the

Animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments. “The California Biomedical Research Association states that nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has resulted directly from research using animals.” For example, the removal of pancreases from dogs, led directly to the discovery of insulin; which can be attributed to saving the lives of diabetics.
