*Supporting:
1. There are contemporary alternatives to be used in experiments instead of
animals.
2. Animal testing is a brutal way of performing experiments.
3. Most of the experiments performed on animals are improperly performed that
they cost the animals their lives.
4. The alternatives of animal testing are cheaper and more economical, having the
same efficiency.
5. Drugs that were proven to be safe on animals are not necessarily safe on humans
as well.
6. The colossal differences between animals and humans make them poor model to
be experimented.
7. Animals don’t have neither the rights nor the ability to oppose being
experimented. Thus, it’s not wrong to experiment on them.

Furthermore, there are
computer models that can create a visual reconstruction of the molecular
structures of human, thus, predicting a medicine or a vaccine’s toxicity. Lastly,
most important and fruitful of all, the microfluidic chips which mimic the
functions of human organs.
Animal testing is a brutal, inhuman way to treat any kind of living creatures as
the poor precautions and the lack of commitment to the protective rules of
animals during experiments lead to an extreme suffering by those innocent
creatures. Moreover, Most of the experiments performed on animals are
improperly performed that they cost animals their lives. A 2009 peer-reviewed
study found fatal flaws in most of the animal studies performed in the United
States and the United Kingdom. Most shocking, according to Carol Kilkenny et al.,
"Survey of the Quality of Experimental Design in 2009, Statistical Analysis and
Reporting of Research Using Animals," is that only 59% of the studies have
managed to state the objectives of the study and the number of animals that were
experimented in

Finally, animals are poor models for humans because the metabolic, anatomic
and cellular differences of animals are way different from humans.

*Opposing:
1. Relatively small numbers of animals undergo experiments compared to the
productive results that they yield.
2. Due to the short life cycles of some animals, they make better alternatives to
humans.
3. Animal testing helps scientists make and discover new effective cures and
treatments.
4. The researchers performing animal testing treat them humanely to guarantee
accurate results and ensure the animals’ safety.
5. Animal research is highly regulated, with laws to protect animals from
mistreatment.
6. Animals themselves benefit from the results of animal testing.
The opposing side may argue that relatively small numbers of animals
undergo experiments compared to the productive results that they yield.
Moreover, it may state that compared with the number of animals that we
eat, the number of animals undergoing experiments is small. It may
