Introduction Introduction •Since the time when humans learned discovering solutions for their various health issues through research, animals are used as a source model for testing the success of these experiments for human benefit. •But, in the contemporary world, technologies have moved forward where advancement in simulations programs and human modelling has given birth to various options for research testing without involving animals (Adams, 2018).•The main cause of applying intrusive testing on animals is unavailability or restriction to human resource for scientific testing. But, now various alternatives are available to replace animal testing (Mak et al, 2014, p114).•This study allows a critical discussion on intrusive testing done on animals for research and development that should stop. The discussion explains various valid reasons to stop animal testing in research and development.
What is the main reason for testing animals?What is the main reason for testing animals?•Safety and security of human resource from adverse drug effects and exploitation, is the main reason leading to scientific testing on animals. •Unavailability or less available options for human testing is another reason since ancient times that has promoted the use of animals testing in research and development. •Animals are living organisms except the power to express their feelings and willpower, which makes them vulnerable to exploitation by the scientist using them as things for testing their research.•From past situations, the limitation of alternative techniques for testing made animals vulnerable to scientific testing of new drugs, cosmetics, medicines etc. (Singer, 2017, p 10).
What are the opinions and perceptions of doctors about allowing animals intrusive testing in research and development?What are the opinions and perceptions of doctors about allowing animals intrusive testing in research and development?•As per Doctors and scientist perceptions, animal testing is the best way to determine the functionality of any drug with an intention to keep human’s safe to drug failure sufferings for safeguarding human race. The alternative techniques are not as reliable as animal testing because animals especially rats and rabbit have more than 90% genetic similarities with Homo sapiens(Api et al 2015, ppS1- S19). •In contrast Reisinger et al. (2015) studied the perceptions of experts in the USA making viewpoint that, the genetic makeup of some animals like rat and rabbit show 90% similarity index with human genes. However, this genetic similarity does not ensure that drug testing successful on animals will also be successful on humans.
