There’s pros and cons to animal testing, but it saves human and animals life, so, therefore, it is necessary. The following essay will go over: animal testing laws, the animals body, and animal research facts. There’s many laws that pertain to medical research on animals. The United States government will shut down many medical treatments, unless they have been tested on animals. The law does require animal testing, before giving any types of cancer drugs (Chang, 3). The National Institute of Health funds over half of the medical research that are conducted. They go around to the faculties and survey the staff to make sure they are following proper procedures.

There are other ways we could experiment, like computer models. However, there are many benefits from using animals, because animals give us real life results (Chang, 2). Computer models can help us but not in a way the hands on animal testing helps us. We gain hand on knowledge and experiments with animals that benefit humans and animals (Chang, 2). What animal research protesters don’t know is that there are over 350 human disease that have an animal counterpart. Which means animals can have the same disease humans have. (Burnett, 5) Animal researchers are constantly changing the way they test to make it easier on animals. Techniques and procedures have been minimized, distress, or totally eliminate pain the animal may feel during the testing time (Burnett,
