The body and anatomical structure that an animal is composed of is not the same as the bodies contained by human beings to the extent that the results that take effect on the bodies of these lab animals, might produce unwanted and tragic results when it is given to human beings. As such the active use of animals to test the safety and certainty of products and or brands for the sole purpose of medical research is immoral, and it should be made known, that the pain and the suffering that is imposed and inflicted on animals of all kinds is just not worth it.
At this moment, hundreds and millions of animals internationally, have found their new home’s to be defined as the cold cage of a laboratory. A large majority of these animals are going to

No one is expected to get the result they want from animal testing, which results in pure wasted life. For one, many drugs that appear safe and effective in animals fail in humans, or cause significant harm, and even death. Thomas Hartung, Professor of evidence-based toxicology at Johns Hopkins University, wishes and advocates for alternatives to animal testing because "we are not 70 kg rats." They could easily find an alternative. Most times if not all times, testing animals with and for reactivity to the same diseases that humans have is ineffective and unnecessary because animals do not get many of the human diseases that people do, such as major types of heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s disease, or schizophrenia. To test the effects chemical have on humans they are instead used on animals. Skin and eye irritation tests where chemicals are rubbed onto the shaved skin or dripped into the eyes of restrained rabbits without any pain relief. Animals are spliced with other organisms or even human DNA to get results. Why experiment on something to aid other life form which is so foreign to its design, both inside and out? These animals are being traumatized. This art work by Alexis Diaz fully conveys an artistic view on the process of
