It is very popular to keep various animals at home. The first domesticated animal was a dog, which have been accompanying people for ages. Dogs are friendly and very helpful. They are irreplaceable in every household where they can guard the property or other farm animals. Their role is invaluable in guiding blind people.

More than four milion animal experiments are carried out annuallu in Britain.
Two facts are fundamental to the debate about them. First: without animal experiments much medical and biological research would grind to a halt. Second someexperiments do cause suffering.

Huge areas of medical research would be impossuble if all animal experiments were bannrd.

History of medical researches begins hundreds years ago when people often called wizards were preparing mixtures to heal people. In that times nobody was criticising ways of developing drugs. Nowadays, there are millions of cosmetics, chemistry and medicine products around us. What is more, methods of testing them developed.

Each year about five million dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, monkeys, and other animals die in lethal tests performed in the U.S. During such experiments strange substance are forced into the animals throats, or are pumped into their stomachs by a tube. Experimental medicines are injected under the skin, into a vein, abdomen, applied to the eyes of an animal or forciblly inhaled through a gas mask.
