Along the history,
animals have been used in scientific tests of drugs and surgeries before
studies had been started with humans. This procedure isn’t used only for
medical issues, during the space explorations, thousands of thousands animal
were sent to space to test the body reactions in a place without gravity force.
Nowadays, environmentalists look for the animal’s rights and it should be a
long debate in the academic society.
Proponents
of animal argue their view point that research practice is impractical without
tests in animal. The science’s evolution need understand the chemical reactions
in living body to improve techniques and avoid put in risk human’s life.
Ethical regulations were created to protect animals avoid mistreatment and
drugs are used to minimize the impacts of pain and suffering.
In
another way, environmentalists protect the animals and require from the
academic society other ways to test the drugs. These tests are cruel and
inhumane and frequently show irrelevant results.
Recently,
a famous Brazilian research laboratory was invaded by environmentalists and
dozens of dog beagles’ breed were freed. It was an invasion that resulted in
years and years of researches threw in the garbage and a lot of animals with
high potential to transmit diseases and low immunity in unknown homes. The
laboratory closed the doors and dozens of scientists and workers were
unemployed.
The
science evolution need be developed of some way. No matter the historical
facts, nowadays the human life is better because some respectful scientists
spent their lives to develop the life’s science. Certainly the research effects
in the animals were minimized along the science advance. Maybe in future next
animals shouldn’t be required or less required.
