I think animals also have the right to live. Though god has not gifted them speech yet they speak!by crying!on the basis of economic development we should develop. But where animals are killed can it be called as 'development' true and genuine economic development is there where new products are made without harming the wildlife. Scientists should develop some other ways of testing products. And obviously there is too much of technology.

In a way using animals is not a right way but if we think in a economic manner then we should test drugs on them (the species which are large in proportion). We complain India is developing country not developed why because we are held back by our feelings, sentiments whereas america sees nothing and I guess thats the reason they are a developed country and if we eat animals so there is nothinhg wrong in that its a part of food chain.

NO, Animals are also the creation of GOD, and if we think that our life is precious and we feel the pain than we should not forget that animals are not the object, they also feel the pains like us. The only difference is that we can show our pain but they can't. So please don't be cruel and protect them. Our life is also directly or indirectly dependent on them, so at least for our own life we should stop our cruel activities.

I think it is very cruel to use animals for drug development and research. Humans first only have caused tremendous damage to environment to meet their selfless need, if now is the turn of animals the whole ecological balance will be destroyed. Science and technology had taken man to such great extent, can't they find another way for testing? If they can take so much efforts for themselves, they should think about animals too.

Animals also a heart as a heart of human. If human have a pain as well as animals also have pain. They have also right to live freely in this world. Scientists should develop some other ways of testing products. And obviously there is too much of technology. We cannot do our experiments on animals. "apni jaan bachane ke liye kisi dusre hi jindagi ko chenana " its no a good idea. This is not a proper way of development.

Shall we kill human beings to save animals? using animals in the drug development research help to save human life. Moreover, there are huge animals on the earth. Killing some of them doesn't make a huge difference because animals breed faster than human beings. Just think for yourself and get the answer, if you were put in a dilemma of saving an injured baby or an injured rat, which one would you have saved?

Well. If animals could speak they will not be willing to be experimented on them. As they cannot speak we are proceeding as we wish. Life for any creature is valuable thereby it's humans or animals. Science has advanced from ancient days but we are not able to find the alternative for problems like this.
We may justify ourselves saying that there is no second option but such activities are against humanity.

Hey friends ,
According to me animals and human are living being. God created many creatures. Some are called animals and some are called humans. If animals can't speak to us it doesn't means that they will forcibly experimented for the scientist new projects. It is very easy to kill to kill an animal. But why a human is afraid of killing another human? We should respect all the creatures made by god.

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.

I agree and disagree if you family member did not take this medicine they will be dead, you as a person also take headache pills all the time and in life have been given medication and one of your family members and a friend takes medication if it wasn't for this they will be dead but testing it on animals it strictly wrong in any level because they also have lives and can feel pain just as we do.
