Imagine being in a room, where pets were being tortured by getting burned, being injected, having wires put inside them, being poisoned, etc... How would that make you feel?

They also can suffer horrible deaths or mistreatment. Animal Testing needs to be stopped because it’s cruelty, and there are better alternatives.
Animal Testing brings harm to the animals, both mentally and physically. Here are a few examples: At Virginia Commonwealth University, an experimental rabbit

The alternatives for Animal Testing prevent animal discomfort, but allow research to continue. Animal Testing can prove unnecessary, especially with better alternatives that actually work.

We should value the lives of animals, just as we value our
