Our lives and well-being do not depend on animal experimentation. Animal experiments only enshrine the interests of the pharmaceutical industry and associated, allowing drugs put on the market are not always safe for people. Animal experiments are conducted to alleviate the responsibilities of laboratories that launch products on the market that could later come to harm humans.

For example, if the shampoo should not burn the eyes burned the eyes of a girl, this is seen as inevitable; Tests performed on eyes of rabbits show that the product is safe. And who can prove that cigarette smoking is associated with a disease, when animal experiments show inconclusive results?

After going through all the tests 'required', Animal, and to be put on the market, many drugs need to be collected. That's because its adverse effects begin to manifest in the population, often severe form. Animal tests can not predict these effects, and this is industry knowledge, but there is a need for them to be conducted to prevent the futures industry processes.

If all tests deemed necessary by the legislation are carried out on animals industry disclaims responsibility. People who come to die due to the use of a drug become fatalities. Acceptable numbers ahead to the possible benefits of the drug.

The science of using laboratory animals is not good science, not only because it victimizes innocent animals, but because the results they also produce damage to human. This methodology leads to error, the delay, the erroneous data, the misinterpretation, the inconsistency and waste of lives. The abolition of vivisection is not something to be thought about for the future, it should be something of the past, urgent e. The use of animals in experiments is an error that has spread in science and that has not been sufficiently questioned. It is up to society as a whole to mobilize in order to extinguish it.
