Millions of chemicals have been abandoned in their daily use, such as in plant poisons, thanks to animal testing they have been used to be dangerous for people and the environment. Without animal testing, the general public would continue to use these dangerous chemicals. Many humanitarians may be opposed to chemical testing on animals, but if scientists didn't test on animals, individuals would have to test for deadly chemicals or live in a world where people don't know if the chemicals they use are toxic and deadly. to human society. Animal testing may be wrong in some cases, but it doesn't compare to the benefits it brings to society in many different areas.

Animal testing is mandatory in order to save countless lives in today's world. Using animals to discover cures and better ways of living has many benefits that help people with life-threatening illnesses and individuals in everyday situations from contamination.

Many people have been helped by the results of studies and tests... middle of article ...... number of advantages of using animal testing and a devastating number of disadvantages if scientists did not use it in animal testing.
