ndom reason, when it
             comes to biomedical research it is "permitted" in the "name of science" and
             for the better good of the human populous.
             As someone who would consider themselves an animal rights activist, I
             believe that Carl Cohen is irrational and ignorant when it comes to this
             topic. If he would just put himself in the situation of an animal that is
             being subjected to these tests I'm sure he'd have a different view.
             In my opinion, animal testing should be fully eliminated from the
             agendas of any medical, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic industry. There are
             many alternatives to test products and companies should be making a greater
             effort to implement these. Animals have the right to live their own lives
             peacefully. They should not have to endure the pain and torture that many
             of them do on a daily basis while being tested. There are arguments that
             the reaction of animals to a drug is significantly different than the
             reaction of a human would be to the same drug. Our anatomy is different
             than that of a guinea pig or a monkey, so the tests would prove to be
             questionable. Prestigious universities like Yale University test on
             animals as well. Articles have stated that scientists at Yale inject
             monkeys with nicotine to the amount of 17 packs of cigarettes per day. I
             highly doubt the average human smokes 17 packs of cigarettes per day so
             this experiment is invalid and unethical in my mind.
             For a long time, researchers have used animals such as guinea pigs,
             monkeys, cats, dogs, and mice for the purpose of testing drugs and cosmetic
             formulas. While searching different sources and obtaining research about
             this topic, many disturbing stories and accounts of animal abuse have been
