There are many animal testing facilities all around the world to find cures and treatments for medical purposes and products that humans used daily. Therefore, “On average, it costs a company more than $1 billion to get one new drug to the market.NIH alone spends almost half of its funding-up to $14.5 billion of our tax dollars yearly-on animal testing” (Akhtar, 2013). Animal testing is a billion-dollar industry. Even though, animal testing is a billion-dollar industry, some of the animals are treated poorly, in the conditions they live and how they are treated. Animal testing facilities are funded by tax payers who instead of funding animal testing they should fund money to the poor communities to built better hospitals, schools, infrastructures, etc. However, it is expensive for animal testing facilities to run, but we need these facilities to run because animal testing benefits us
