For many years, researchers have conducted experiments on animals for many scientific
purposes. Scientists have yet to prove that animal experimentation helps improve human
healthcare. Consequently, that is not the case. Most animal experiments are not followed by the
laws and go beyond the safety procedures. Most animal deaths are by these testings on animals
that are unnecessary and cruel. Animal testing is unethical because it is inhumane, causes
