3 Reasons Why Animal Testing Should End
https://www.peta.org/blog/top-five-reasons-stop-animal-testing/
For vivisectors, poisoning, stunning, burning, and killing animals is all in a day's work. These heinous activities would be crimes if they occurred outside of laboratories. Animals, on the other hand, suffer and die every day in laboratories with few or no safeguards against cruelty.
According to PETA as of 2017, more than 110 million animals each year — including mice, frogs, dogs, rabbits, monkeys, fish, and birds—are killed in U.S. laboratories.
Here are some reasons why animal testing needs to stop:
It's immoral.
It's wrong to confine 100 million thinking, feeling creatures to a laboratory cage and purposefully inflict pain, isolation, and terror on them.
It's erroneous science.
According to the National Institutes of Health, 95 out of 100 medications that pass animal testing fail in humans.
It's a waste of time.
Because the outcomes of animal experiments mislead researchers and waste valuable money, time, and other resources that could be focused on human-relevant research, humans suffer longer while waiting for effective remedies. Animal experiments are so ineffective that only about half of them are ever reported.
