Medicinal Animal Testing
Animals, monkeys, dogs, rabbits, fish, and more, common cheap and often bred to provide scientists in the medical field with an easily accessible test subject for clinical trials, while clinical testing helps to develop medical science and find cures, how ethical is it to use animals for human gain.
