Over 115 million dogs, cats, rabbits, and other mammals suffer and die every year, from animal testing. Although some people might say that animal experiments have contributed to many life saving treatments, animal testing should not be used, because it is unreliable, expensive and inhumane.
Some people might say that some animals are similar to humans in many ways; however, most are not which is why animal experiments are unreliable. According to the article from NCBI ¨Laboratory procedures and conditions exert influences on animals’ physiology and behaviors that are difficult to control and that can ultimately impact research outcomes¨ (Beauchamp). This shows that laboratory procedures and influences are a big impact on the animals, which

It proves that animal testing does kill more than hundreds of animals, and those animals should be out in the wild with their family. This means that animals will eventually become extinct, if the scientists do not stop soon. Those on the other side may argue that animals don 't have rights, but it stills is cruel and
