Animal Testing Sucks

by Pulin Modi

If you get sick, you go to the doctor, not the vet, right? And when your dog or cat gets sick, you take him or her to the vet, not the doctor, right? Even though they share the same ability to suffer and feel pain as we do, dogs, cats, and other animals are different from us in many ways. So how in the world did some wacko come up with the idea of sticking animals in stressful, unnatural conditions, forcing them to be sick, and then cutting up their bodies to try to maybe, possibly, somewhere down the line help people?! It makes no sense, I tell you—no sense at all!

Animal testing is a multibillion-dollar industry that involves lots of corporate, government, and university laboratories; cage and food manufacturers; and animal breeders, dealers, and transporters. The industry profits by imprisoning and exploiting defenseless animals.
