I think there is nothing wrong in conducting new tests on animals.In a way its helping to find new useful drugs which saves many peoples life....and even humans have hearts they don't conduct tests on all the animals ... they test it usually on smaller ones like rats which are of no use to this society except in spreading disease.... so if testing some drugs is saving precious human life then why not...almost 75% of humans are non vegetarians and they use animals for eating.. then if testing drugs on animals is helping medical science improve its definitely worth it:)

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.

In my opinion, animals can be used for testing. If animals are not tested, then people are going to struglle. If a drug need to be tested. If it goes wrong then people need to suffer.

And if people are so much concerned about animals. Then how can we eat chicken? chicken is also an animal and have equal rights to live right?

Animals make our life, our needs fulfil by them too, we should not forget that we are become healthy and strong by drinking milk of cows they help into agriculture for our crops that's why we should not trouble the animals or harm for are self or else any reason.

According to me animals should be used for new drugs testing because the animals such as rats,rabbits are used for testing of drugs which have no use and if a drug is being tested on animal the animal is not going to die.But if it is tested on a human the side effects are dangerous and a individual may die also.so I conclude that a human's life is more perecious than a animal,a human may do a new discovery tomorrow but a animal will not.

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.

It is rubbish thought of banning animals from testing medicines and medical procedures. I agree that animals have life too and even they feel the pain. But killing is the part and parcel of the living organism like we kill plants by consuming them as food. And we kill millions of bacteria while breathing out while releasing carbon-dioxide. We also have very good arrangements made for other living creatures infiltrating our homes like mosquito, rats, and so on.

So why bother about this issue when its been utilized for better purposes to manufacture and creation of medicines ? if we shouldn't test these on them, then on whom should we test it ? on humans ? aww please gimme a break. ! what about t that moment when we are relishing a tasty beef, chicken, mutton or other meat at your home ? these things are only for the well being and survival of us. And to find a better solutions to these problems, it is important that veterinary science to improve as better as human biological science has. So that it could cure those animals and living creatures that are affected by these types of testings.

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.

Animal testing is a cruel way to find results that are not always truth worthy. I think the new way of testing should be the usage of human bodies who volunteer their bodies mainly people who are very sick.

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.
