This research includes drug testing, surgical procedures, medical equipment, and somewhat inconsequential applications like; cosmetics, and other household products. Most animals that are used for researched are euthanized once the experiment is finished.

Animal testing is the most accurate way to learn the effects of substances in a living body.

Using cell cultures can only reveal side effects on a molecular level and cannot unfortunately, reveal side effects like organ failure, rashes, tumors, or cardiac arrest like animal testing can.

Using computer models cannot always predict unknown variables that can be discovered with animal testing.

Animals may not have the exact same philology as humans but animal testing is accurate enough to test whether a substance is even safe enough for human trials.

•Many regulations and laws are put into place to insure that animals are treated as humanly as possible.

•Animal abuse is rare in animal testing facilities.

• Researchers are looking for the best possible solutions to medical problems.

Those who argue for animal testing point out all the amazing breakthroughs that have already come from animal testing research such as organ transplant and open-heart surgery techniques; life saving drugs; effective insulin and cancer treatments; and vaccines for deadly diseases like polio, rabies, rubella, and tuberculosis.

Animal testing also benefits the lives of animals such as the heartworm medicine that has saved many dogs lives.
