Animal Testing

Animal Testing is a very 'hot' item in current debates and there is a lot of controversy surrounding it. There are a lot of people who cannot even discuss the issue, just like there are a lot of people who seem to just ignore the subject simply because they do not want to take a stand. There are pro's and con's to it but in my opinion there are far more con's to it than pro's.
First of all because so many animals are innocently killed after they have been tested. And if they are not killed there is a chance that they are severly injured or hurt. Besides that, testing animals is also very expensive. And most imporantly for me, there is no guarantee that the effect on the animal will be the same or even similar to the effect the drug will have on a human!
