Why we shouldn’t use animals in psychiatric research.
In the recent years they have recognized that animals rarely serve as good models for the human body.
These experiments are wasting lives: both human and animals.
Most animal experiments are not relevant to human health, they do not contribute meaningfully to medical advances and many are undertaken simply out of curiosity and do not even pretend to hold promise for curing illnesses.
Animal test are so un reliable
About 92% of all drugs that are shown to be safe an effective in animal test fail in human trials.

Their bodies resemble ours, as do their ways of conveying meaning.
They recoil from pain, appear to express fear of a tormentor, Appear to take pleasure in activities.

With 115 million animals used a year this is a big problem
Animal testing is not cheap, so stop wasting money on experimenting on animals , for your own curiosity and use that money on human research
It’s not right so don’t do it easy as that

Rather, it was "zoothanasia," or killing done by zoo
