Imagine this: a knock of the door. You answer it, not suspecting a thing. As soon as you open it people come barging into your house, steal your beloved pet, and run for their van as they drive away. At this moment you stand, speechless. Millions of questions go through your head, but a note catches your eye. Your animal will be used for a new drug research, it says.Now, they may not come barging into your house, but the principle is the same. Animals are being tested (tortured). Animal testing shoulde be illegal, since it’s cruel, inaccurate, and is simply a disadvantage.Don’t believe me? Just keep reading.
First of all, animal testing is cruel.Would you like having to be caged up with barely enough room to breath, until you get heavily tested on drugs, and very possibly die?I didn’t think so. Animals are being tortured right now, and as you will learn, the information obatained from the tests are not that accurate.Anther point: would you like your pet to go through the above described disaster?

The research does not prove that humans will not react to a drug.The same applies to behavioural research. Humans have a way more complex brain than any other animal. How can you even consider comparing chimps to us? They look likes us, sure, but can they learn to drive a car? Did they ever have to work on a deadline? Of course not. To prove my point, in the early 1960, a research has been conducted to prove tobacco use causes cancer. They forced animals to inhale smoke, but in the end, none of them ever got cancer, even if we
