We all say life is precious. So we don't have any rights to kill these innocent and little animals just for our personal self. They also pertain to life like us they also feel pain as human feels. But we are forced to make experiments on animals because there are no viable alternatives. In fact, there are some alternatives like computer model, cell structure. But these things do not give satisfactory result as animals testings give.
But we should also keep in minds that losses due to injuries may be reduced because it can affect the whole balanced ecosystem.

Yes I agree with the topic because in current situation there is no 2nd option to test until the another option is not develop, only this can use now.
As humanity yes its ashamed for all of us I agreed that but think that if our close relative is ill and doctors said this is the medicine but it is first time implement on your relative then we can't take that medicine.
And testing is test only on the living things for detran. I assure that our scientist should also make a new solution for this but until that is not. This is only solution we have.
Thanks.

I believe that animal testing at one point could of been acceptable. Now though, when they have alternate methods that are more accurate, I see no reason to continue this torturing and killing of animals. Their are plenty of tests out there now making it possible to test with great accuracy without even having an animal present.
Why don't people use that then? The big corporations are greedy and will choose the cheapest method. Even if it could lead to a possible lawsuit when the inaccuracy of the test makes the product fail in the real world.

- Why animals have to pay with their lives our human troubles?
- Is the animal an object? Why do we use their life's instead of us?
- Is an ethical activity to do research on animal?
- Christ try to leave a message when he freed animals. The message was Animals have to live in freedom. Is research on animals in contrast with Christ did?
- How do we know that companies are not exploiting animals without our knowledge, just for make more money?
- What about empathy?, what happens if we were the animals who have to be tested by other specie?

It's not necessary. Because it is a human being. Somebodies treated it's also the human being. Definitely, we will develop the medical field for save people's life. At the same time, we do something for protection. We should protect animals life. That is one of the best act in India. They will also kill some animals for an invention. We can invent some medicines why we can't invent that medicines are the right thing to feed peoples without destroying animals life. "SO THINK IN BETTER WAYS TO SAVE ANIMALS, AT THE SAME TIME SAVE MEDICAL FIELD".

We cannot say "yes or no". There was two side. We believe that man is the best in God's creature. So we can use other animals for his own use. By using animals for testing new drugs and medicine helps the man to know if it has any other side effect. We believe that God create all other animals and plants for us. So we can use it our needs. If we have the power we use it anyway.
The other side is all the living things including man were the creatures of the God. We cannot have the right to kill any other animals. All has its own feelings.

Why not ? Animals should be used for testing new drugs before we test on human being. The human beings are more precious than animals. If we lose one animal it is not such a big loss as well loss a single person. It is the law of nature many animals eats other short animals for food and also human eat animals. It is natural and it is very necessary to test the drugs before testing on human being but before testing we should keep in mind that the species of animals which we are using are not going to vanish and the test is necessary.

After reading all this, I think that animals are not to be tested. They should be tamed and pampered because they help us in many ways. We should ban the use of animals for drug development and medical research. We harm animals to satisfy our own benefits. Their life has been gifted by God which we are spoiling. Our life is also precious to us, as their life are precious to them. "Men has no right to destroy. What we cannot create". For this many species of animals have become extinct, endangering the ecological balance of nature.

Friends in my opinion, it is fine to do experiments on animal for finding drugs because test on few can save life of millions, also we think and talks about cruelty towards animal, but nothing such is done in reality, ironically. Animals are provided with better care so that the test can undergo perfectly, they won't want test on ill animal.
Also after animals are tested those tests are performed on humans for confirmation, so we are not doing any cruelty towards them but doing our work until some other technology is brought.

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.
