Animal Testing

By Cathy Mayo

I believe…

animal testing should not be allowed because it’s cruel to the animals and they

should not have to go through it.

What is Animal Testing?

The use of non-human animals in research

and development projects, especially for

purposes of determining the safety of

substances such as foods or drugs.
