The Biology of Animal Testing

             Animal testing is when biologists test medicine on animals to make medicine to save thousands of lives.
             Do you think animal testing is cruel? I don't because would you rather test medicine on humans and take
             the risks of someone dying. When you test medicine on animals you can take that risk of losing one monkey and then saving thousands of lives.
             The types of animals they test medicine on are rats, monkeys, rabbits, cats, mice, and dogs. Some of the medicines they test on animals are vaccines and other medicines along that line. Animal testing started in the 1920s. As we all know there are companies that don't use animals, but the reactions to the medicine aren't as accurate. Some medicines have to be tested on animals by law.
             Vaccines help to prevent us, our pets, and farm animals from catching infectious diseases cause by
             microorganisms and bacteria. In the past, people have died from smallpox, and polio because there wasn't
             medicine in the world back then that could be tested on animals. People who had polio were crippled because they hadn't any medicine to use.
             Much reduction in animal use has already occurred with respect to abnormal toxicity testing. Many people think that using animals is not as accurate as using no animals at all. They can think what they want because they are wrong. Animal testing is the best all-around way to find out medicines and how they work. For all the people who are against animal testing can read this and I think it will definitely change their minds. If there was a little four-year-old child suffering from a disease, would you rather save his or her life by testing medicine on an ugly mouse and saving a precious child from death? I would because there are plenty of mice in the world but there are even more sick and dying children in the world that need that special cure.
             If you wonder how they test medicine on animals, I will tell you. The biologists get the needles ready
