Top 10 Reasons Animal Testing Should Be Banned

Whether or not products for human use should be tested on animals before proceeding to full scale human trials is one of the most emotive subjects ever to be debated.  People on both sides of the fence have very strong views.  Some argue that there is no price to be put on human suffering and that the benefits of animal testing outweigh the negatives (indeed there is a Listland list that sets out the various arguments in favor of animal testing).  Other people feel, very strongly, that there is no possible justification

for the suffering caused by animal testing and that it is, in any event, an outdated and inaccurate method of evaluating drugs for human use.
