Animal Testing

Animal testing is also known as animal experimentation, animal research, and in vivo testing. Basically it's the testing of non-human living animals. After the testing is complete the animals are usually euthanized and approximately 50-100 million different types of vertebrate species are used annually. Animal testing is done in many places and is usually used for knowlege of biology, genetics, and behavior studies. As far as my opinion on the matter, I'm well aware that it is mainly used to see the effects of products and drugs on these animals in comparison to what it would do to humans; however, I find it hard to support or deny it because it is a positive thing, but I also have a heart for animals as well.
