Animal Research “Each year dozens of animals would be brought into the lab to live there brief lives suffering deprivation and shocks before being killed”.For years animals have been used for product/medical research, but why? Animals and humans are very similar ,yet people think it’s better to use animals for research, killing millions each year. People think animals are completely different from humans which is not the case, so it’s sad to say millions of animals die due to them being “different” from humans. Animals should not be used for product/medical research. First, animals get physically abused from the tests they receive.

Animal can suffer internal effects from the products they are getting tested with. An article states that in the 1980s about 150 baboons suffered brain damage from equipment that smashed against the baboons heads to simulate whiplash humans might suffer from a car crash. (Wright,Hoagland). Some of the drugs experimenters give animal cause different effects on their bodies. Some of the drugs experimenters give animals can cause different effects on their bodies. A 2015 article stated “Penicillin kills guinea pigs but is inactive in rabbits; aspirin kills cats and causes birth defects in rats, mice, guinea pigs, dogs, and monkeys; and morphine, a depressant in humans, stimulates goats, cats and horses” (Animal testing is). Experimenters are putting these drugs, and more we don’t know about, in animals bodies which causes effects to their bodies. There are many things experimenters are allowed to go to animals when getting experimented on. According to an article it states “The only U.S. law that governs the use of animals in laboratories- the animals welfare act- allows animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved,forcibly restrained, addicted to drugs, and brain- damaged (Animal Testing is). To summarize, the experiments researchers can do to animal is to many experiments which cause effects to the animals
