Animal Experimentation
As someone has noted, animal experimentation
is outdated and unnecessary. Medical advances, in fact, can replace animal labs science labs.
Animals were created before humans, from Chr
istian perspective; however, God has given people domain over h
is creatures.
Animals are used for testing, as many m
istakenly assume,
to find medication for d
iseases.
It is worth
to remind that HIV pos
itive chimpanzees do not acquire AIDS. Testing on chimpanzees
is therefore useless,
is not
it? Moreover, the vase major
ity of antibiotics for people and
animals are not interchangeable.
It means that medication developed in the result of animal experimentation can hardly be used for treating human d
iseases.
Animals and humans are physically different,
it is a scientific fact. Everybody accepts the fact that earth
is round, but why scient
ists reject the fact that medication developed during animal tests cannot be used for humans? Primates, cats, rats, and dogs are the most “popular”
animals for “scientific” experiments. Most of the experiments are held w
ithout pain
killers, while scient
ists are aware that
animals feel pain. A rabb
it will even break h
is back while trying
to escape when chemicals are poured in
to h
is eyes. Primates, for example, start trembling during testing, just as humans when they are afraid or feel pain.
