__**// MY THOUGHTS~ //**__

I personally feel that the people who test products on innocent animals are cruel and also a disgrace to humans. Some people believe that it isn't right to test cosmetics or other unnecessary products on animals but, it is okay to test drugs or medicine on them. I feel that it is a silly way to feel because, it doesn't matter what kind of product it is because they all have the potential to harm the innocent animals that are used for product testing. On page 315 it said that Britain made an act to prevent animal cruelty, such as testing potentially deadly products on animals. When I read that I gave a big cheer in my head for Britain.

I can't get over the fact that this is still an issue, because I strongly believe that everyone should understand that animal testing is EXTREMELY wrong. If you think about it you should realize that it is very cruel. If we don't feel confident enough to test the product on a human, why should we feel confident enough to test it on animals. Animals have feelings too, the only difference is that unlike us they cannot speak their mind. For that reason animals are even more precious and innocent than us humans are. So, next time you are going to test a product on a little innocent animal think about how they might feel. Hopefully then, you will change your mind and do the right thing. __ **SAVE THE ANIMALS!! STOP ANIMAL TESTING!!** __

**//__QUESTIONS ON PAGE 316 AND ANSWERS~__//**

What do you think about the use for experiments? Well, I personally feel that it is very wrong. I feel this way because animals have feelings too and, humans have the ability to say no, animals do not.

What if the experiments save human lives? That makes my decision harder but, after thinking about my opinion is not altered. What if you killed the animal in the experiment? You might save a life but, you also destroyed one. Think about that!

How would you feel if someone wanted to use your dog or cat? Well, I don't agree with any type of animal testing let alone on my pet. So, if someone wanted to use my dog or cat in animal testing I would be offended that they think I would sink to that level of cruelty. I would never risk my pet's life for that reason.

On the other hand, how would you feel if animal experimentation produced a drug that could wipe out cancer? WOW!!! That thought is just mind blowing!! Cancer is one of the worst medical conditions in the world. To find a cure would be AMAZING. If animal testing produced a successful drug for cancer that means that the animal most likely wasn't harmed. You also have to think about the possibility of failure and losing the innocent animal. Also the drug might affect an animal differently than a human so, I think that they should test it on a human with cancer once they are feeling pretty confident that it is safe.
