Animal Testing: Helps Both Humans and Other Animals
Animal Testing People argue that animal testing kills to many animals. 20 million animals are used for animal testing each year. 90 percent of them are rodents such as rats and mice. If indeed the animals are killed its most likely to be a rodent. people try to kill and get rid of rodents just for the sake of getting rid of them. People who are against animal testing say that pain is afflicted on the animals. Most all research projects do not even include pain towards the animal. If the research does include pain the pain would be alleviated with anesthetic drugs. It is very important that the animal is free of stress because if the animal felt pain the data would not be sufficient. Animal helps both humans and other animals.

Dogs were also very important for the research and development of open-heart surgery, pacemakers, and heart transplants.
