Animal testing is cruel and an inhumane way to torture animals for mankinds own benefit. There have been millions of animals that have suffered a vicious, painful death in the name of research. Just as Peter Singer asked in his book Animal Liberation Would experimenters be prepared to carry out their experiment on a human orphan under six months old if that were the only way to save thousands of lives? (81). Singer further states that if the experimenters would not be prepared to use a human infant then their readiness to use nonhuman animals reveals an unjustifiable form of discrimination on the basis of species (81). Animals are living beings just like humans, but people seem to think that animals are nothing but mere tools at their disposal. Types of animal testing are medical research, dissection, and cosmetic testing.
