Animal+rights....or+man's?

 From the paragraph I just read, my personal opinion is that it is ok to test drugs on animals. But, I do believe it is wrong to test unnessasary products on them. I also think it is important we find cures for sicknesses, and surely we can't test drugs and chemicals on humans! So what other choice do we have??? My personal opinion is that animals were created for man's use, not to be mistreated, but to be used for our needs. Since the drugs could possibly save humans lives, I think is nessasary that we should test them on animals.

 If someone wanted to use my cat or dog on a test I would tell them to wait until my pet was older and was about to die, then even if it would break my heart, I truly would make that sacarfice for a good cause. Even if I would drown in my own tears, I would know that it could save millions of lives. I think it would be wrong to test a puppy or young dog, but when it is older, and is about to die, I think is ok to test. Also, if scientist tested a drug on animals and it could wipe out cancer, I think that would be great! The reason I feel so strongly about finding cures to illnesses is because my mom had breast cancer.

 She survived, but maybe wouldn't have if it wasn't for the medication the doctors were able to give her. I am soooooo thankful that they found those types of drugs to help get rid of the cancer, even though they probably had to test it on some animals. I remember how worried I was at those times for my mom. I don't think anyone really understands how serious these types of things are until they really expeirence it happening to themselfs of a loved one. How much more important is your mom or anyone than a mouse, or rat?? That is why I believe that it is fine to test medicine on animals, except for unessasary wants.
