| Non-valid
arguments for using animals for experimentation |
 |
Reaction |
| Animal
experimentation is necessary |
|
For
some medicine it is made obligatory
that they are tested on animals. "Obligatory"
is different from "necessary".
A lot of animal
experimentation is done for commercial
reasons. More types of medicine
and cosmetics are being produced than
is necessary. |
| You
can't do research for cancer or aids
without using animals |
|
The
best results are made with human research.
That is more expensive, though. |
| There
are not enough alternatives |
|
Only
1% of the budget is used to find alternatives.
When you don't look, you will find
nothing. Nevertheless there are many
effective alternatives.
For alternatives see for example InterNICHE. |
| Animal
experimentation is aimed at human
happiness and human health |
|
The
first and most important aim of pharmaceutical
industry is profit |
| When
you don't sacrifice animals, you sacrifice
human lives |
|
In
view of the fact of the successful
results of human experimentations
and others without animals it is rather
harmful not to switch to experimentation
without animals |
| If
you get ill yourself, you will change
your mind |
|
It
is better to look for alternatives
when there is enough time to live |
| Isn't
immoral to use humans for experimentation?
|
|
Human
beings cooperate voluntary and communicate
better. Researchers are more motivated
to set up save and effective experiments.
