groups of people that spend their lives fighting the battle against experimental animal testing. They exercise their 1st right Amendment by doing everything within the law (and in many cases illegal actions) to provoke researchers and picket against experimenting on animals. Most of these people hold the belief that all life is sacred. No matter how small and insignificant a creature.Animal testing is a major problem that should not be brushed aside. Each year 400 million animals die in laboratories (Tamino,1995). It is unethical as well as immoral. It is not written anywhere that man has the right to play God. Who told man it was alright to use animals as test dummies? The answer is no one. Man has taken the right to life away from animals which can not speak for themselves. They rarely inflict harm to us, yet mankind decides to use them for experiments. Experiments which these animals are used for, go wrong more often than right. Otherwise man would have no excuse for experimenting on our own kind. Unfortunately since the experiments do go wrong, researchers do not want to waste human lives, so they substitute animals in the place of man (without any kind of consent, if they could give consent) and begin watching and recording results. Few people realize the sad reality of life as a biological research animal. For instance, how would people react if they themselves were locked in a room by some higher being, and constantly poked with needles and hooked up to funny machines. One might experience fear, anxiety, terror, and possibly a hundred or so other natural reactions to danger, if they were ripped out of there natural habitat, and locked away in a cage for the next 10 months. Furthermore, what happens to the animals if an experiment goes wrong? There are a numerous ways that their bodies can reject the testing. To illustrate, let us take the same rat from before. The researchers decided to double the amount of the...
