HISTORY OF ANIMAL TESTING | ||
Animal tests have been used to determine the safety of almost every medical procedure, device, and treatment since the 1900s.
Any advocate of animal testing will quickly defend the practice with this statement. Many claim that anti-vivisectionists are against science. However, this is not true. There are many scientists involved in the fight against animal cruelty in the laboratory. Also, many animal rights advocates are looking not to immediately abolish the use of animals in research, but rather to follow the rules established by the three R's, and to find more ethical alternatives to this testing.
