Nowadays, experimental usage of animal has become a widely concerned issue
around the world. People hold diverse views towards it.
Adversaries claim that it is an extremely crude behavior. Animals,
especially mammals, like dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, which are the major victims
in the experimentation, are usually human's pets. Pets owner are strongly
against it for they firmly believe that animals suffer physically and mentally
as we do. When equality is advocated in the modern world, it is inhuman to
disrespect creatures that are not human beings. Furthermore, a number of experts
pointed out that it would be at high stake of depend on the results of animal
experiment; since they differ from us in many ways, take the body structure for
example, we can’t imagine humans try to jump from the height of nine stories
without any protection because cats survive out of the same test.
Those in favor of the idea about usage of animal declare that using animal
is an advisable choice. On one hand because their bodies function similar to
ours, for instance, they catch colds, suffer from stomachs and heart diseases,
which more importantly influenced by diet and habits. The consequences of the
test may not be applied to humans, although they are highly connected to the
human situations. On the other hand, those creatures yell and act abnormally
when they feel uncomfortable, which is what exactly researchers expect. In
addition, there is an easy-to-answer question: isn't it crueler to test directly
on people with little knowledge on the objects’ effects? In a word, there is
nothing better than animal that resemble human the best for experiment.
Personally, I am not a supporter of animal experiments, yet there is
anything more suitable that can replace them, I accept using animals for tests,
but take good care of them when they are not in the laboratory.
