Arguments for Animal testing

Animals are used in important scientific research

It is necessary to do medical tests on new drugs

Animal testing helps to advance medical and scientific knowledge

Animal testing has contributed too many life-saving cures and treatments

Many important medical discoveries involved experimentation on animals

Animals suffer from similar diseases to humans including cancers, TB, flu and asthma.

Medical teams carry out new operating techniques such as transplant organs on animals.

By testing on animals scientists have developed thousands of vaccines that have saved millions of children's lives

Without animal testing many procedures or new drugs would be extremely unsafe.

Animal research is highly regulated, with laws in place to protect animals from mistreatment

Animals are appropriate research subjects because they are similar to human beings in many ways

Animals must be used in cases when ethical considerations prevent the use of human subjects

Animals also have the right to live, and the right to choose. Animals have emotions. They have thoughts, ideas, feelings

The vast majority of biologists of the world endorse animal testing

Some cosmetics and health care products must be tested on animals to ensure their safety

Researchers aim to minimize the suffering that animals experience

Testing for the cosmetics industry is now banned in many countries

Our responsibility is to manage the animals in our care and balance their suffering against the good that comes from them
