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.
