some people think that using animals for experimentation purpose is cruel, but other people think that it is necessary for the development of science. Discuss both view and your opinion.
It is often argued that experimentation done on
animals
is vile and barbaric while
others believe that it’s essential for science
to evolve and improve. In my opinion, although
using animals
for experimentation may help create breakthroughs in science
, I believe that it’s extremely cruel to do so on innocent animals
.
Those that support in doing experimentation on animals
cite several reasons for this
. Firstly
, there is a misconception among many people that animals
do not feel emotions like humans
. Furthermore
, in some animals
, the DNA is similar to that of humans
and is a great source for finding solutions to many unanswered questions such
as finding a cure for various illnesses. For instance
, most lab experiments are done on mice, which have the closest similarity to that of a human’s DNA, and hence
produce the most accurate results. For these reasons, people believe that it is the only way for science
in improving the world by providing solutions to every problem.
However
, many disagree and feel that conducting such
experiments on animals
is cruel and unacceptable and I agree with this
. Animals
are sentient beings and feel excruciating pain much like humans
when they are exposed to such
torture for the sake of developing the field of science
. Many animals
are exceptionally intelligent yet are still treated like mere tools by mankind. A recent study found that pigs have an intellect of a 5-year-old and have high problem-solving skills. Moreover
, the brutal tests conducted on animals
may end up in detrimental results which would even cost the lives of the animals
.
In conclusion, using animals
for testing may help improve the lives of humans
but it is not fair that the animals
have to endure such
pain and suffering for that. I believe it is more humane to find better alternatives for such
purposes rather than instilling pain in those innocent beings.Submitted by vyshnavi.sathyan on
