The website I came across is for an organization that collects donations to fund animal testing in labs and keep medical research going. Speaking of Research aims to “stand up for science” and get others on board to increase awareness and fund further animal testing. This organization is the sister organization of Pro-test, which was shut down, and was created by a college student at Oxford University who decided to speak out to everyone who became opposed to the idea of animal testing. the website has many different sections to read to get a better understanding of what animal research can contribute to and even has a whole page on what types of animal experiments were carried out that have advanced medical research. I do not support this cause because I don’t believe medical research should be tested on animals. There has to be other and better ways of demonstrating advances in medical research than on animals. The website talks all about how the animals are nothing but protected from harm and only hire skilled workers to work with the animals, but in my opinion I think that these animals are being harmed just by the testing that’s being done on them. There is a section on the website that states their animal research beliefs, basically stating animals don’t have the right to vote or the right to an education like people do, so why would these rights apply to animals? I completely disagree with this logic. Animals are living things and should be able to fulfill the lives they were given just as we are. Maybe they don’t have the right to vote, but they should definitely be guaranteed the right to live.
