Some people think that it is necessary to use animals for test medicines or other products intended for human use. Others, however, criticise this as animal cruelty. Discuss both of these views and give you own opinion.

Since the existence of humanity, animals have been good companions to us. Some people hold the view that animal testing is an inevitable procedure for the sake of humans. In my part, animal experimentation should be banned as they have the same rights as human beings.

The advocators claim that scientists should make a good use of animals, such as test medicines in order to help human beings to combat more deadly diseases. The supporters of this view believe that animals bear a resemblance to humans, such as cell structure, as a result, animal experimentation is still regarded as a reliable and feasible method. It is undeniable that in some case is cruel. For instance, mice are sometimes injected with cancer cell for the medical researches. But it would be more brutal to use humans themselves as the testing objects, because humans cannot take any risk to lose their lives. Some one might argue that animal test will break the biological balance. However, some animals like rabbits or rats can be bred quickly in laboratories. In other words, it has a large number of supplies in the laboratories. Therefore, the animals testing will not break the biological ecosystem.

An alternative opinion is that animals have the equal rights as human beings. Treating them so brutally will leave a negative impression on our next generation. Over thousands of years, animals have been always considered as the best friends to us. It can often been seen on the news that the old who live alone and abandoned by their children, accompanied by their loyal dogs. This is something positive we need convey to our young generation rather than maltreating animals. The harvesting of bear bile for traditional medicine is an unbelievable evidence of maltreatment, which would exert a bad influence on children. If it is inevitable to use animals to do some tests, as there is no other alternative way to replace them in some circumstances, humans should take the responsibility to reduce the pain for those animals. We need treat animals as humane as possible.

In conclusion, animals, human beings’ friends, should be treated as equal right as humans. Once we have no choice to sacrifice their interests, humanity should be considered as the least option for medical testing.

Many people support use of animals for testing medicines for humans. Others believe it isn’t appropriate to use animals for such experiments. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

An increasing number of people favor the utilization of animals in medical research for human beings, while others say that it is not appropriate to exploit them for such purposes. While animals act as a model to study diseases, I believe that it is cruel to harm animals for research purposes.

On one hand, some people believe that animals are the finest medium to conduct experiments for medical discoveries which benefits humans. According to them, both humans and animals share hundreds of common illness, and the animal can act as models for the study of human illness. For example, Dogs suffer from cancer, diabetes, cataracts, ulcers, and bleeding, which make them natural candidates for research into these disorders. However, I believe that using them for personal interest is an inhuman because animals also feel pain and sufferings.

On the other hand, some people claim that making use of animals for experimentation is not fair. In their view, both animals and people are alike in many ways, they both feel, think, behave and experience pain. Thus, animals should be treated with the same respect as humans. Also keeping them in incarceration can make them very sick because of which they are also exposed to unforeseen death. For example, as per the article published in daily telegraph, one animal in NSW is killed every hour during testing for new medicines and cosmetic products. I, therefore, believe animal experimentation should be stopped as it violets the rights of animals.

In conclusion, although experiments on animals provide the best aid to human beings as they are believed to be a natural contributor to medical researches. And that is why keeping in mind animal rights they should better be left free in their natural habitat.
