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animal experimentation is outdated and unnecessary.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 Christian perspective; however, God has given people domain over his creatures.
Animals are used for testing, as many mistakenly assume, to find medi
cation for diseases. It is worth to remind that HIV positive chimpanzees do not acquire AIDS. Testing on chimpanzees is therefore useless, is not it? Moreover, the vase majority of antibiotics for people and
animals are not interchangeable. It means that medi
cation developed in the result of
animal experimentation can hardly be used for treating human diseases.
Animals and humans are physically different, it is a scientific fact. Everybody accepts the fact that earth is round, but why scientists reject the fact that medi
cation 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 without painkillers, while scientists are aware that
animals feel pain. A rabbit will even break his back while trying to escape when chemicals are poured into his eyes. Primates, for example, start trembling during testing, just as humans when they are afraid or feel pain.
