Animal ExperimentationIn the United States, an estimated 26 million animals are used every year in scientific research and to test products [...] Proponents of animal testing say that it has enabled the development of numerous life-saving treatments for both humans and animals. [...] Opponents of animal testing say that it is cruel and inhumane to experiment on animals. They say that there are alternative methods available to researchers to replace animal testing, and that animals are so different from human beings that research on animals often yields irrelevant results.
