Kittens are being blinded purposely. Rats suffer seizures, and primates are having their skull getting cut open, just so scientists can implant wires in their brains. Animals are being put through pain most people can’t imagine, which is what the second thesis was about. Now readers will see that animals do get tortured just to keep humans safe.
The testing could go well for animals, but backfire on humans which means do we have to test on animals if it’s non affective. Even if a product was tested on animals, some humans have gotten sick or have died due to a product. Vioxx, a drug to treat arthritis, was safe and ready to be put on the market when tested on animals, but has caused many heart attacks, strokes, and deaths. This thesis stated that the product could affect humans but not animals and evidence states that humans have died even though the products were tested. Even though some humans
