According to the National Institute

Animal research has been practiced since early Greek times; many Greek physicians such as Aristotle and Galen used animals as models to help advance their understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology (Hajar 2011). Animal research has been a major key in the development and profound understanding of how new chemicals, medicines, and treatments work. The reasons why animals are used for testing before humans can be narrowed down to five main reasons. First, it is required by

Americans see animal testing having a harmful effect but it is one of the main reasons why society has most cures for some illnesses.

Using animals in biomedical research has been occurring for more than a hundred years. Using certain animals should be important to everyone, due to the fact that it helps citizens nationwide, even internationally. One reason they should be used for research
