- In the article " Animal Testing and It's Gifts To Humans" author Frankie L. Trull says, " Those who doubt this value need only look at the faces of patients in the Duke trial whose lives have been saved by these essential research techniques." By using many animals they at least has solved something for good.
- A research study conducted by Ian Wilmut found that " By contrast, laboratory screening of drugs will be both quicker and cheaper, as hundreds of tests will be able to be carried out in the time taken for one animal test." They used animals to get new treatments and now they are selling it for a low cost when animals had suffered to get this new treatment.
- A research study conducted by Frankie L. Trull says that " Animal models rarely lead to discoveries that relevant to humans." This is why they test things in animals since they are similar to humans.
- In the article " Animal Experimentation " the author says " Animal experimentation has lead to the development of treatments for diabetes, anthrax, rabies, polio and small pox, as well as anti-depressants, tranquilizers and antibiotics." This shows that scientists have took advantage on animals to get new treatments to cure some diseases.
