Animal Testing

Dividing Opinions

Discussions about animal experiments got us really excited. We needed to know why it was necessary for scientists to do any animal testing? Couldn't they find cures without animals? And why did they have to cause animals pain and suffering? We talked to people who are against animal research and those who are in favour and listened to their views.

“All of those people in the world that currently have organ transplants would not now be alive if we hadn't been able to do animal Experimentation.” – Professor Maggie Dallman

“People who research on animals would have you believe that we can't save people unless we harm animals and I think that's wrong.” – Dr. Katy Taylor
