Pro Animal Testing?

Well. Animal Testing. The pros. And the cons. 

We all know the cons of Animal Testing, I mean...it's common sense. You're hurting animals.  But the pros? Well, that's quite obvious too. It helps us. Animal Testing has helped medical developments in the past decades. Yes, I admit that-without Animal Testing we wouldn't be anywhere.

But we don't exactly need Animal Testing, right? I mean, we live in the 21st CENTURY. And Animal Testing has existed for a really long time. And if so much has improved over time, then why does Animal Testing still exist? It should be History.

We live technically because of technology. So why can't that apply to animals too?

But I guess, in every circumstances, one should always look at the other point of view; a sign of maturity and to be un-biased. So that's what we'll do in this post.

There's this website called Pro Test for instance, which stands up for science and is against people who are against Animal Testing. 

"We are an Oxford based group campaigning in favour of continued animal testing and in support of scientific research. we aim to dispel the irrational myths promoted by anti-vivisections and to encourage people to stand up for science and human progress."

The quote above is what is stated on their website (when I checked it today). Yes, I respect their aims and their choice. And yes, I do stand up for science. I do stand up for human progress. But to an extent of hurting animals and making them suffer unnecessarily? THAT is what I don't agree on. That is what our group doesn't agree on.

Here is a link of the Pro Test site that states the benefits of animal testing. Yes, I admit, the benefits are highly impressive. But we've got technology in our hands. Why not make use of that? But I guess everyone will have their reasons, just like we do.
