According to their view, animal testing is not ethical and animals are not treated in accordance with animal rights. Against this view, some people support animal testing because animal testing is necessary
Using animals to test the safety of products and to carry out scientific research has long been a contentious issue for decades. According to Orlans, F. Barbara (1993), “sixty percent of all the experimental animals were used in biomedical research and product-safety testing” (p.62). People seem to have different feelings for animals; many of them likely look upon animals as their soul mate whereas others might view animals as the essential resources for advancing the scientific research. No matter
