Should Animals be used for Testing New Drugs & Medical Procedures?

No, I believe that just because it works on animals dose not mean that it will have the same affect on a human and both humans and animals have the right to be on this earth without being used for testing for new drugs plus with humans they have the option to do the testing whereas animals have no choice in the matter.

According to some people drug testing on animals is fine because " its not a big loss to lose them" well would you like it if some clinic needed to test a drug on dogs and they took your precious pet? It is a big loss to lose them because every animal counts. What has our society turned into? Taking innocent animals and giving them drugs to see if there's a reaction? Come on! But we can't just write on some website saying "this is bad, and all of you should be ashamed". Actually we are all guilty of this because we are the ones who support these companies by buying their products. So we have typed what we think needs to be done, but who will actually take action?

I feel that experiments on animals should be banned. They are innocent and also they cannot speak so we take that as an advantage and use them for medical experiments.

I disagree with this topic. Even Animals are Living beings. Animals cannot express their feelings, they cannot speak. So it does not mean that advantage of it should be taken. We cannot put their lives in danger.

Animals also the making environment. Because biologically it is making biodiversity and making constant in this, there are predators and prays so we have to protect the animals from that dangers but not to kill.

I totally disagree with this thought that animals should be subjected to the test of medical drugs and all that. As we all know that human diseases are different from that of animals, so how can we test the remedies of those on animals. That is not a way of judging the effects or side-effects of those. Animals have also the right to be treated as a living being. Their life can't be taken for granted. We should make some alternates to test those drugs like some chemical solutions or anything from which that disease catches.

I think that animals should be tested on. You could just test it on rats. I bet lots of you do not like rats. Rats breed very constantly, so then if you test on them you don't put anybodies lives in danger. Even if you were to kill a rat their would be more rats born in the world.

Hi friends.

Absolutely not There is no correlation between animals and humans and more often than not these so-called tests have proved wrong and many drugs have been taken off the market. Scientists will babble on in theory, but pinned down cannot positively give a good argument that animals should be tested for human medications.

Animals should use in testing medical procedures. Because there are a lot of correlations between animals and humans including homologous genes, neurology, and molecular biological. This all comes from having a common ancestor and genes that have been retained though out generations. We have tested and found the best animals to test on and do so ethically through a progression starting with tissue cultures, then moving to mice, monkeys, and then chimpanzees before humans and more often than not these so-called tests have proved wrong and many drugs have been taken off the market. That's what animal testing is for.

Yes. Humans are killing millons of animals daily just for satisfing the taste of the tongue. In some countries live animals (pigs and oxen) are just thrown like toys into turning blades. If one sees such an incident directly, one turns into vegetarian on the spot. Such pathetic is their condition. Unfortunately, no one can stop this. If we are not bothered about this brutal purposeless killing, why should we bother about the killngs which are strongly purpose based. And if we compare the count in the both cases, killings for taste across the world in a day will be in some multiples of crores and that for research will be some multiples of hundreds.

If some people feel that using rats for research as a pathetic thing, I'm sure that they feel one lakh times more pathetic to see some ill fated humans suffering helplessly for an unknown new disease which has no medicine!
