Animal research is wasteful and misleading
Article Abstract:
The use of animals in research and experimentation fails within the context of its potential application to humans, due to their different biology, the stresses they encounter in lab conditions and the manner with which tests are introduced to the animal. Each factor contributes to a form of bias in the research.
