Supporting Idea 3: Animal testing is bad science.

SD1: Animal experiments prolong the suffering of humans waiting for effective cures.

SD2: Imprecise results.

SD3: Animal toxicity studies are poor predictors of toxic effects of drugs in humans.

CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH:

Taking everything into consideration, it is evident that I am deeply against animal testing. This
is because, animal testing is extremely cruel and wasteful as it causes not only physical harm,
but also psychological trauma to the animals. as it causes not only physical harm, but also
psychological trauma to the animals. I hope that more and more companies will join this
change as we can see that many companies did it without any difficulty.

Humans and animals have

different bodies and other organs,

Animal Testing
Imagine watching scientists insert various needles into you while you are sitting there, wide
awake, in excruciating pain; knowing very well that there is nothing you can possibly do to
remove yourself from this situation. How does it feel? Fine, bad? Well, that is exactly what
animals such as rabbits, rats, monkeys, etc. frequently go through. Therefore, I am deeply
against animal testing because it is cruel and unnecessary.
