The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of the time, those who use animals in experiments justify that use by pointing to alleged benefits to human and animal health and the supposed necessity of using animals to obtain those benefits.
Scientists should not do animal testing if there is any alternative, but subject to that, I would support it on grounds of the medical benefits.
For a large number of problems, there will be some animal of choice, or a few such animals, on which it can be most conveniently studied.
An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable.
I myself have been a major beneficiary of the view that no animal will more repay treatment that is kind and fair.
Of the seven experiments, the ones that have been most investigated so far have been the pets. The dogs who know when their masters for coming home, and the sense of being stared at.
Animal testing is needless, especially in cosmetics.
I don't think that somebody who is observing or predicting behavior should also be participating in the 'experiment.'
It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence, to avoid wasting time and labour, and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible, made us strictly observe all the precautions taken by surgeons in respect to their patients.
I want medical experiments on animals stopped. They don't do anything, and they don't work.
