In the US, an average of 6,610 dogs 57,531 primates 58,598 pigs 245,786 rabbits 22,921 cats 176,988 hamsters 64,146 other farm animals 32,260 sheep 231,440 other animals 221,286 guinea pigs Die from animal testing. Sorry I didn't know about the UK! :)
Lab mice are sacrificed to benefit both medicine and mankind. If it were not for animal testing no medicine's could either be tested or marketed for patients whom are extremely ill. The sacrifice of lab animals is well worth the cost to test medicines to ensure the medicines are both safe for human consumption and effective as medicines.
I would also add that lab animals usually mice are not pets.
A lot. As much as I am against the mistreatment of animals, I look at it this way: If they are killed in a humane way it is better than inhumane. All the animals' lives that have been sacrificed because of testing and research have furthered our understanding in science and medicine a great deal which ultimately will be saving many many lives.
I think we should die because they have never really done anything to hurt us purposely and all we do is kill them,abuse them, and we don't do 1 thing to prevent it all over the world and if animals do something wrong they don't know what they are doing they are just defenceless creatures! They should be the ones who are let free! They where put here to be loyal, to serve and to love us! WHY KILL THEM AND NOT US?
