Issues of animal experimentation have been going on for some time now, especially in the media.
However
Linking Words
, there has been an argument in some quarters that the testing of
animals

should be prohibited but other folks believe that animal testing can offer striking benefits to humanity.
This
Linking Words
essay will look at two reasons why I think using
animals
Use synonyms
for experiments is a bad idea and why other options
such
Linking Words
as green vegetation, trees and fruits should be considered. The priority of medical exploration has always prevailed over the pains and suffering of
animals
Use synonyms
. Some people who support these experiments say that we must tests

.
For instance

, many popular lifesaving drugs were invented

way, and animal experiments may help us to find more cures in the future. Indeed, possibly a cure for cancer and AIDS.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, it is believed that animal experimentation is necessary for human survival. Due to the extreme value placed on human lives, outcomes of research, like vaccines, are often tested on
animals
Use synonyms
first
Linking Words
before acceptance by the general population.
However
Linking Words
, I do not believe these arguments stand up to scrutiny.
To begin
Linking Words
, it has been shown on numerous occasions by secret filming in laboratories via animal rights groups that
animals

feel as much pain as humans do, and they suffer when they are kept in cages for long periods.
In addition
Linking Words
, a substantial amount of animal research is done for cosmetics, not to find cures for diseases, so
this
Linking Words
is unnecessary.
Finally
Linking Words
, it has
also
Linking Words
been proven that humans can get all the nutrients and vitamins that they need from green vegetables and fruit.
Therefore
Linking Words
, again, having to kill
animals
Use synonyms
for research is not an adequate argument. In conclusion, I am of the opinion, on balance, that the benefits do not outweigh the disadvantages, and testing on
animals
Use synonyms
should not continue.
Although
Linking Words
it may improve the lives of humans, it is not fair that
animals

should suffer in order to achieve
this

.
