Experiments on animals has been a widely debated topic for many years,

however

, it is a procedure

that is

still common in many industries. Some people advocate animal testing because they believe human needs should take precedent over animal lives.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, those against testing on animals argue that it is immoral, as these living creatures would feel the same discomfort or pain that humans would in a similar setting. Supporters of animal testing claim that the benefits humans reap from

such

methods far outweigh any negative impacts on animals.

This

Linking Words

is largely due to the fact that many people believe humans are a significantly superior species in comparison to other animals. Over the years, humans have built a system of civilisation that has cultivated a sense of seniority above other beings.

Therefore

Linking Words

, people feel that animals are less entitled and carrying out experiments on them are acceptable if it is for the betterment of the human race.

This

is evident in the pharmaceutical industry; many potentially harmful drugs are

In addition

, advocates of animal testing contend that it is essential in order to produce the most reliable scientific research. Many animals,

such

as monkeys and apes, have similar biological structures as humans. As a consequence, products that are tested on these organisms are likely to have similar, if not the same, effect on human beings,

In contrast

highly unethical. It has been scientifically proven that animals feel physical and emotional pain to the same degree as humans.

This

This

is not unlike humans and

Furthermore

, a large proportion of tests carried out are for cosmetic products which are not necessary to sustain human life; they are,

instead

, a luxury.

Subsequently

Linking Words

, it can be concluded that the use of animals for

such

goods is not only inessential but

also

immoral as it puts animal lives at needless and avoidable risk. To summarise, animal testing is not an uncommon occurrence and there are multiple factors in favour of and against

a technique. I am of the opinion that animal lives are equally as valuable human lives and so must be given the same rights. Animals are unable to communicate their consent and

therefore

governments should implement policies that can protect them from exploitation at the hands of human beings.
