This
 cruel practice has no justification, and it should be stopped.
Animals
 have been used in many industries, especially the medical and cosmetic industries, to
test
 their products for human use.
Although
 the intentions of these experiments are for the benefit of humans, creatures
such
 as mice have been exploited and tortured with chemicals and procedures.

Moreover

 is when mice are grown to

. These activities violate various ethical principles and disregard the rights of

Moreover

Nevertheless
, these reasons are not enough to justify the cruel treatment of
animals
. With the innovations and technologies available to us today,
companies
 should make an effort to research other ways to
test
 their products ethically.
For example
, artificial intelligence has made leaps in terms of simulating how human bodies work.

Moreover
, research is readily available on many platforms and can be used to figure out ways to

. In conclusion, animal
experimentation
 should be considered barbaric, and laws should be implemented to bar these practices. Regulating bodies should make it compulsory for
companies
 to consider and research alternatives and people should do their due diligence and boycott

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
