Cruelty-Free International Organization defines animal testing as any scientific experiment or test in which a live animal is forced to live something that is likely to cause them pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm.
Why animal testing should be prohibited worldwide? Although it has helped to find cures for several diseases it is not reliable and just harms animals.
The drugs that pass animal tests are not necessarily safe because animals are very different from human beings.
The development of alternative methods is growing. Animal tests are being replaced in areas such as toxicity testing, neuroscience and drug development.
Testing of products on animals is completely unnecessary because viable alternatives are available.
Animal testing should be prohibited because it violates animals' rights, it causes pain and suffering to the experimental animals, and other means of testing product toxicity are available. They should be treated with respect and dignity, because after all, humans are animals too.
