“Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals and they answer is: ‘Because animals are like us.’
“Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: ‘Because the animals are not like us.’
“Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.”
:: Prof. Charles R. Magel ::

Animal testing falls into three broad categories:

• Product testing of safety for human consumption. Most often this is linked to cosmetic testing such as makeup and soaps.
• Research used to advance medical science and test new drugs.
• Education and training ranging from dissection of frogs in high school science labs to training medical staff in invasive procedures.
