According to my Point of view,
It is not that Justifiable to misuse animals for such tests. Every creature on this earth has Right to live their life. There is no security of Test getting succeed, sometimes it may Get failed. And in the other way, we can't test such drugs on human beings also. There is no other way to test the drugs, So it very much difficult to oppose the Test conducted on animals.

Scientists should be allowed to test on animals because as we try experiments on animals we can know many things and we are gaining knowledge and we can help the society. We can tell that animals are helping society. Example freedom fighters who fought for India became greater as they fought for us animals are giving their lives for the society.

I think animals should not be used for testing because we know that life is a gift which is given by nature so only nature have right to play with their lives. We do not have any rights to play with their lives.

Hello friends, this is Sampath Kumar.
What I am saying that experimenting on animals is too bad why because soo many animals are living without food some times it will be. So harming animals is too bad for the purpose of drugs and there are so many scientists and labs are there for research on drugs. So, friends what I am saying is absolutely right on my side, thank you.

I think animals should not be tested for new drugs and medical procedures because it is very dangerous to animals. If want to experiment so scientist should do those experiments on terrorist and punishment of death by law.

I think using animals for test is sometime becomes necessary mostly animal used for testing are mice the point here to be noted is that we are not using them unnecessarily but for test if successful can be helpful for humans & it is for a cause and purpose. Thank you.

Hello people!
I'm Devika, a biotechnology student!
I do agree with you guys but the thing is we so far can treat the diseases due to the production of drugs! As per my knowledge, very few animals are being used for experiments not all of them and mostly for drugs rabbits and mice are used especially the white mice which are genetically produced! So, I guess it's not wrong but I do even agree that we are harming but it's not a big deal! I hope further technology can be improved so that it can be digitalized and can still more reduce the use of animals for research!

The use of animals in testing medicine and drugs looks very cruel and inhuman because most of the time the innocent animals suffer and die. But there were no other options in the past for researchers to test those new drugs and chemical products. Now as the medical science has developed so much I think scientists should think about new options and minimize the use of animals as much as possible for this purpose. Also, test results on animals not always same for humans.
I have an idea which many of you may not agree if 'convicts who are sentenced to death' can be used for this kind of testing.
Thanks.

Good day, From my point of view, animals should not be tested for any kind of research. The life is also important, we must not be selfish. Humanity is most important. They are animals, they too have lives. Taking their lives for research is too vulnerable. No one has any rights to take their lives. Animals serve us in all the ways. From milk, their skin is used for making bags, their babies are also we are adopting (dogs, cars). They are useful to us, we are humans and we have some kind of morals. God gave us 6 sense to think what is right and what is wrong. Think that killing animals for our sake is right. We are using products given by animals and we are killing them, it right? Please, animals are also a living being. They are so innocent. Make them survive. We must protect them. Thank you.

Hello everyone. I would like to say something on today's topic which is should animals be used for testing new drugs and medical procedure? Well life is a gift of god. Be it human or anyother living being. We as humans don't have the authority to exploit any other without its consent. We don't use humans for medical testing cause humans can protest. They can sue each other in court for violating privacy. For centuries we humans have been using innocent animals like rabbit mice dogs monkeys as testers. They can't protect themselves. They die in pain in laboratories when wrong treatments are done on them. So we as human beings should be passionate to our fellow companions and become the voice for the voiceless. Testing on animals should be banned world wide. This is not only painful for them but equally painful for the compassionate humans. Instead science must develop ways and means to test on artificial limbs or artificial cells. It would be a cruelty free development for all. Thank you.
