Animal testing is unethical!!!

Animals, as we know it, are living beings. We have known since the beginning of times that animals have existed since before our creation, or in other words, our development into modern human beings. Humans would actually be considered very young in the table of existence, whereas animals such as crocodiles have existed since the times of the dinosaurs. Therefore, they must be respected and treated as living things. Animal testing is definitely not ethical because it puts animals in a uncomfortable position they would not like to be in and can most of the time cause them pain. I have always been in favor of nature and its belongings, as are the animals. As I teenager, I studied philosophy and biology in depth and then I became a lover of nature. Many animals suffer nowadays because human beings use them to test new products, ranging from medicine to cosmetic appliances. These tests are not taking into account the feelings and the life and comfort of the animals. Animal testing also tends to be very cruel especially when it comes to testing new medicine that is considered too early in development for human beings. Therefore, the feelings and well being of the animals are not taken into account. When it comes to meat eating, I believe that that is a different story because we as human beings have needed animal meat in order to survive. Since the early humans, we have often during our history had no choice but to kill animals and eat them in order to survive. All in all, animal testing is definitely not ethical but meat eating is different because that is required for survival and for health.
