 If animal testing is not only unethical, but also unreliable, why does it continue? Typically,
for two reasons: money and establishment. Vivisectors receive millions
of dollars for such experiments as observing fat and fiber’s effect
on hamsters’ cholesterol; studying mice to determine the role of
selenium in breast cancer; and feeding animals copper because humans don’t
get enough.
VIVISECTION LINES POCKETS
 Vivisection is a multi-billion dollar industry, with many
interconnected parties. Vivisectors receive hundreds of thousands of dollars,
even millions, for experimenting on animals. Research grants are frequently
awarded based on political and economic motives rather than scientific
potential, which explains why clearly nonsensical experiments continue
to receive funding.

VIVISECTION IS HISTORICALLY ESTABLISHED
 A
study has found 75% of Americans are opposed to testing our personal care
and household products on animals. Then why does
product testing on animals
continue? Because the companies that manufacture personal care and household
products have convinced consumers that it is necessary for our safety.
Yet their only aim is to avoid responsibility for any damage done by their
products. With industry-accepted animal data deeming a product safe, the
company is customarily not held responsible if the product then harms
people.

OTHER REASONS
 Vivisectors’ resistance to questioning their line of work can stem
from egotistical self-righteousness to an honest belief in doing good. Some continue using
animals because they’ve already committed to it, and to change tactics
would be admitting defeat or wrongdoing.
Some animal researchers are just ignorant, some too lazy to learn new techniques, some
too comfortable with their established routines. Others continue testing
on animals because they don’t want to concede to the animal rights’
movement.
So for these feeble
reasons, cruel and ridiculous experiments continue to be performed on
animals. Vivisection has not proven to be relevant or reliable.
It persists because of custom.
