Question

Is it cruel to use animals in the research?

Answer 1

Cosmetics, yes

Medical research-no, the research that they do saved my husbands life.

Answer 2

It depends;

cosmetic research on animals is pure EVIL!!! I wish all the people who are involved in that got a taste of their own medicine.

medical research on animals can save lives, including other animals.  

Answer 3

Yes. They put animals through all kinds of tests that are unnecessary. Why spray hairspray in a rabbits eyes and then hold the eyelids open so he can't wash away the spray. What person is actually going to spray hairspray in their eyes and hold their eyes open for a long period of time.

What's the purpose of putting a sharp probe through a kittens jaw? Or giving a puppy rat poison...excuse me it's poison of course it's going to cause harm.

Research on animals should be banned.  

Answer 4

It all depends who you ask. I think if you have no other choice and nothing else to experiment on, and if you think that what you will learn from the experiment will be useful then i think its well worth it. Experiments on the animals have been going on for hundreds of years. Its sad but how else could we find a cure for Hepatitis many other diseases out there. It is cruel but there is no other way. That's what i think, if you do it ask god for forgiveness after it.  

Answer 5

YES ABSOLUTELY!!!!  I TRY TO BUY ALL NON ANIMAL TESTED PRODUCTS!!

Answer 6

Yes,I think it is. If someone wants to find something out SO bad,they should use theirself,or not find out at all. Animals are amazing.

Answer 7

Yes, if there is any other way.
