The third perspective would be to classify animals that are used in testing and determine how we should treat each one. Based on “The Ethics of Animal Research: What Are the Prospects for Agreement?” by David Degrazia from Cambridge journals. Some animals require sociable interactions, since they are highly sociable. “Highly social animals, such as apes, monkeys, and wolves, need social interactions with conspecifics (members of their own species). Under normal circumstances, they will develop social structures, such as hierarchies and alliances, and maintain long-term relationships with conspecifics”. This has a major impact on these specific animals, since they highly seek sociable interactions, and if we didn’t provide them an access to …show more content…
Placing animals together in labs and not place them separated by cages that prevent them from interacting with each other will basically achieve this idea. Some animals require protection such as chimpanzees for example.”… Members of the National Research Council’s Committee on Long-Term Care of Chimpanzees were able to agree (with one dissent) that chimps should not be killed for the purpose of population control, although they could be killed if suffering greatly with no alternative means of relief”. The animal protection community agreed to at least protect chimps due to control their populations and secure their well-being. The purpose of animal testing is not to affect the control of the population of specific species. This protection should go along with any animal that is endangered by extinction or with a very low population. Also researchers should determine whether a certain animal is beneficial for the research or just end up giving useless results, because what is the point of researching the species for example lets say rabbits if they don’t produce beneficial knowledge and
