Introduction

Animal Testing

The definition of animal testing or animal experimentation is making experiment on animals’ body to test some hypothesis in order to produce a product which serves human needs. They use many different types of species such as cats, dogs, birds, mice, rabbits and some non-human primates for instance monkeys and chimpanzees. Animal testing is a controversial topic. .It is controversial because most people say that animal testing should be used in the lab in order to make sure new medicines are safe to use. However, others say that animal testing should be illegal because it hurts and kills animals. According to PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS, “Each year, more than 100 million animals—including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds—are killed in U.S.” This issue is not only in Untied State, it is all over the world issue.
