testing on animals is common practice for products such as cosmetics or drugs. some people regard testing on animals as completely wrong and inhumane and they believe it should not be allowed. do you agree or disagree with this statement

It is a debatable argument whether animal testing should be illegalized or not.

While

some people think that it is a brutal action, others believe that it is vital to first test medical and cosmetic processes on

animals

such

as rats and mice for safety reasons.

Although

this

action can be seen as violent, in my opinion, animal testing can help us enhance our medical knowledge. Some individuals argue that animal testing can be harsh and devastating

due to

two main reasons.

Firstly

, it is believed that not only do laboratory

animals

have the right to live as freely as possible like other creatures, but they

also

should not be tested for human purposes,

also

it is said that they are kept behind bars in

such

unhygienic and cramped conditions, which is not an ethical manner.

Secondly

, rats and mice mostly used in medical research have so many common diseases with

humans

, which are highly contagious, so keeping them and doing experiments on them can be considered a threat to

humans

and may contribute to another pandemic and outbreak.

On the other hand

, animal testing can benefit

humans

in two main ways. One is that we can elevate our knowledge about human physiology and diseases through animal testing.

For example

, all of our information about Neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disorder and its preventive measures comes from studying

animals

, especially rats.

Additionally

, studying

animals

will result in discovering new drugs and vaccines which can give

humans

a better chance of survival.

For example

, in a recent outbreak, of COVID-19, researchers and scientists were able to invent vaccines just by testing various processes on

animals

, so they would not be able to rescue human beings’ lives without using

animals

in their trials. In conclusion,

although

animals

can suffer from these procedures, I believe that the advantages of researching

animals

outweigh its drawbacks and they are all being done for greater purposes like saving human lives.
