Some people argue that these experiments should be banned because it is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer, while others are in favour of them because of their benefits to humanity. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

While

some argue that testing those medicines on pets can prevent human death, others argue that we should not consider them as humans. I think that we should not prioritise humanity over mammals and find other ways to protect humanity. Many think that humans are way more important than beasts. Indeed, because they are superior in some aspects, they believe that they should suffer and sometimes die just for us to have some new medicines.
