Pros and Cons

Pros

(If you call hurting innocent animals a pro, shame on you)

Cons

• Animal testing is inhumane and cruel.
• "According to Humane Society International, animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding, forced inhalation, food and water deprivation, prolonged periods of physical restraint, the infliction of burns and other wounds to study the healing process, the infliction of pain to study its effects and remedies, and "killing by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck-breaking, decapitation, or other means."
• There are reliable alternatives to animal testing.
• " In vitro (in glass) testing, such as studying cell cultures in a petri dish, can produce more relevant results than animal testing because human cells can be used."

• Drugs that pass animal tests aren't necessarily safe, the sleeping pill thalidomide caues newborns to have deformities even though it went through animal testing.

•  95% of animals used in experiments are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act
• This is a hideous fact and needs to be changed.
• Animal Experiments are flawed and wastes animals lives.
• " Since the majority of animals used in biomedical research are killed during or after the experiments, and since many suffer during the studies, the lives and wellbeing of animals and routinely for poor research ."

Animals should NOT be used for medical research it is just wrong and inhumane.
