1.0 In the article No to Animal Testing, (2010), it is said that animal testing is cruel, unreliable, and it is inhumane.

Hence, it should be banned. 1.1 Every animal, whose purpose in life (determined by humans) is to be tested on will never be free to live or ever be loved. (Shumacher,2008) 1.2 Animals have feelings which makes it a cruelty and according to Goodman a University of Conneticut graduate student who protested the use of primates in medical research, he said, If you step on your dog's paw, he yelps because it hurts. Animal experience pain... (Shumacher,2008) 1.3 An estimated 75 percent of the 100 million trangenic mice bred for laboratory research yearly are killed because they are not needed in research protocols. (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine,2010) 2.0 According to Stubblefield (2009), animal testing is also astoundingly costly. 2.1 The cost of housing, storing and caring for animals is very high. 2.1.1 Animals used for testing are usually obtained from specific breeding facilities and come with a hefty price tag. (Stubblefield,2009) 2.2 Animal-based methods are routinely very costly in money and time. Non-animal tests methods are typically less costly and may require lower investment in personnel and other resources. (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine,2010) 2.2.1 For example, the DakDak test is used to measure the efficiency of sunscreens preventing damage, provide major advantages compared to standard animal tests. Charles River Laboratories, which purchased DakDak in 2002 reports that this test does in days what it takes animal studies months to do and estimates that it can test five to six products for less than half the cost to study one product in animals. (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine,2010) 3.0 Bantwal (2008) argues that humans and animals reacts differently from each other, hence to ignore these differences will be costly to human health. 3.1 Animal-tested drugs have killed, disabled or harmed millions of people and leads to costly delays as well. (Overton,2006) 3.1.1 Among the most publicized are the delays of a polio vaccine by over three decades and a four-year delay in the use of protease inhibitors for HIV treatment - after animal testing showed these interventions to be useless. 3.2 The use of animals as models for the development of human and medications and diseases almost always fails simply because humans and animals have different physiologies. (Overton,2006) 3.2.1 Famous example, Thalomide Tragedy of the 60's and 70's. Thalomide was a drug that came out of the German market and was previously considered to be safely tested on thousands of animals. It was an amazing seductive for breastfeeding or pregnant mothers and it supposedly could cause no harm to either the mother or the child. Despite the claim, tens of thousands of children whose mothers had used this drug were born with severe deformities. (Bantwal,2008) 4.0 In the article advantages and disadvantages of animal testing (n.d) it is stated that an argument against animal testing is that there are always more agreeable subsitute.

4.1 The most common alternatives that are used today are : In-vitro tests, computer software, and even human clinical tests. (Algoe,2009) 4.2 Alternatives scientific tests are often more reliable than animal tests. 4.2.1 Because animal systems are vastly different than animal tests. (Benefits of Non-Animal Testing,2001) 4.3 Non-animal tests are more cost effective and practical 4.3.1 Standard rodent bioassay for assesing carcinogenicity takes two years to conduct and costs more than a million dollars.
