Animal Experimentation

The fight to prevent and abolish experimentation has long been debated in our society. Time and time again the question of whether or not scientific researchers should have the right to perform experiments on animals has been an issue. Should researchers only perform limited experiments on animals? Should researchers NOT be able to perform experiments at all? These are the questions we should all be asking ourselves. My answer is NO to experimentation, NO to limited experimentation and YES to no experimentation. These questions are argued over everyday all over the world. There are people for and against, this is an extremely huge controversial topic today.

            Animal experimentation is pointless, this seems to be the most popular belief in the opinion poles and it is also my belief. Why is it that man considers animals as the inferior species? And when it comes to their rights there is a definite fine  line between our needs and our taking advantage of them. It is inhuman to condone and continue with these experiments. To this day animal experimentation is the worst type of torture one can imagine. It is beyond us to imagine humans being used in the place of animals. Animal rights activists believe that animals suffer as humans do, and that all creatures are entitled to be free from torture and pain.

             There have been close to no cures found despite millions of animals being sacrificed to experimentation each and every day. In Britain scientists use between 3 and 4 million animals per year, American scientists use around 17 to 22 million animals a year and this only for medical research. The cosmetic industry also use around another million or so animals. World wide the number  of animals used in experimentation is probably in the region of 250 million.         As there is no point to these animal experiments why are they continued.
