Should Animal Experiments Be Forbidden Nowadays, there has been a controversy between animal rights supporters and scientists about whether it is right to do experiments on animals. In my opinion, if there are no other choices and if it is possible that this will contribute to science, animals should be used for experimental research.

Firstly, People and animals cannot be seen equal. So the death of an animal cannot the same thing as the death of a person. As a result, in order to save human lives, causing animals to die for science may be considered reasonable to some extent.

Secondly, there are similarities between people and animals which can give scientists ideas about their experiments. From this point of view, scientists are right to use animal models to provide themselves with some information. Although there might have been some incidents when animal testing did not prove to be useful and some effects of some drugs observed on animals could not be observed on people, there are also a lot of examples which show that using animals led to significant developments and helped to cure some serious illnesses.

Thirdly, some people label scientists as ‘cruel’ for causing animals to die in medical experiments. In fact, it is unfair to say that. It is reported that 99% of animals deaths is caused by farmers who kill animals for food, while only 1% is caused by scientists. Of course, it is cruel and unethical to use animals if there are alternative methods.

All in all, it can be said that using animals for experiments is necessary as long as it contributes to scientific development and helps scientists find ways to improve human health. And this practice is only acceptable on the condition that necessary pains are taken and animals are treated humanely.
