2. Animals also have emotions and feel equal pain as humans. We should stop all pharmaceutical companies from doing trials on innocent animals. Give your opinion in not less than 250 words.

All the technological advancements that humans have made, it is ultimately for their benefit and can be brought down to that one purpose. When the question of using animals for trials for pharmaceutical companies is concerned, it is comes down to the necessity of the drug involved. If the drug in question contains the possibility of saving human lives, it is a valid reason for trial. When animals are being eaten for food all around the world, then why can’t the serve a similar, if not a greater, purpose?
The irony of the matter does not go amiss; it is human pain versus animal pain. It is one thing to slaughter an animal for food, another to make it go through excruciating pain. This is why the initial argument cannot be stressed upon enough. Animals should only be made to go through these processes where it’s absolutely necessary. Pharmaceutical companies often come under the fire because the multi billionaire cosmetic industry also uses animals for trials. The matter is of using animals responsibly and keeping it to the minimum. In recent years animal rights activists have brought about quite a change and forced local and international bodies to formulate regulations, and their strict implementation.
This does not eliminate the problem entirely as well. On the other hand, however, people who support animal rights cannot provide an alternative to the problem. If high potency drugs cannot be tried and tested on animals, then how do they expect the field of medicine, or biological sciences for that matter, to grow? Which brings the debate full circle, how can society be expected to progress if it is hindered by petty issues like these?
