Animal testing should not be allowed because it has not been perfected and there are still faults in the testing process. There are many faults that animal testing has still not worked out. For example “handling and caging animals for testing causes so much stress in the animal, that test results are unreliable” (Judson 32). If the stuff that is needed to test animals makes the animals so stressed that the results are unreliable is there really any use of it. “Drugs that pass animal tests end up harming or even killing humans about 61% of the time” (“Animal Testing Facts”). These facts show the real truth about animal testing, it tells us that we can’t trust the animal reactions. “More than 100,000 people have been hospitalized and later died from toxic reactions to medications in 1994 that were not predicted by animal tests” (“Animal Testing Facts”). If we are testing animals to protect the people, it is clearly not working because it put about 100,000 people in the hospital and caused death.
