"The American Cancer Society, American Physiological Society, National Association for Biomedical Research, American Heart Association, and the Society of Toxicology all advocate the use of animals in scientific research."

most biologist and several large biomedical and health organiszations in the US actually endorse and encourage animal testing.

Animal's short life span is another reason why they make such good research subjects.Because of their short life spans,scientist are able to study the effects of new treatments over a whole life span,which wouldn't be possible without animal testing.

Animal testing is actually regulated with laws that protect animals from any sort of mistreatment.The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committe must accept all proposals to use animals in research before any animal is tested on.

"The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) endorses animal testing.

Animal testing has also helped save endangered species from extinction such as the koalas,who were hit with a epidemic of clymidia and are now being tested with new clymidia vaccines ,which may stall the extinction of these creatures.

Animals themselves benefit from animal testing.Without it,vaccines for diseases such as rabies,distemper,tetanus,canine parvo virus,and feline leukemia wouldn't exist.

In some cases that ethical considerations prevent the use of human beings,animals should be tested on.The methods must be first tested on animals so no human lives are put in unnecessary danger. In cases such as experiments involving genetic manipulation,it would be unacceptable to test on humas before animals.

many of the animals that are tested on are very similar to humans,which is why it's essential to research on them.Chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA with humans and mice are found to be 98% genetically similar to humans.

Many of the alternative methods of research don't accurately simulate the working of our complicated body systems such as our brain or circulatory system.

"Chris Abee, Director of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's animal research facility, states that "we wouldn't have a vaccine for hepatitis B without chimpanzees," and says that the use of chimps is "our best hope" for finding a vaccine for Hepatitis C, a disease that kills 15,000 Americans annually."

"Animal research has also contributed to major advances in understanding and treating conditions such as breast cancer, brain injury, childhood leukemia, cystic fibrosis, malaria, multiple sclerosis, tuberculosis, and many others, and was instrumental in the development of pacemakers, cardiac valve substitutes, and anesthetics."

"The California Biomedical Research Association states that nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has resulted directly from research using animals."
