Experimenting with animals is immoral.

Nowadays there is a big problem in our world. This problem is experimenting with animals, a practice which is immoral to many people. However some people think that animal experimentation is necessary to make many products such as medicines and cosmetics. There are arguments both for and against it.

On the one hand  there are many reputed cosmetic companies that experience with animals to test their cosmetics.

In addition it is an important fact that 98% of human diseases have never been shown in animals. Nevertheless, the experimentation with animals is present in our world yet.

To sum up, I think that experimenting with animals is immoral because animals are capable of feeling pain and pleasure. They are intelligent and aware with emotional life,  and they are bred to die and abducted  from their natural habitats.

If you are really interested in knowing the answer to this question, you can ask M del Mar Quesada or any of the members of the group who have carried out their experiment on this issue during this 2012 edition of PIIISA Project. Or perhaps you can get more information in this blog:

Some of the students who have participated in this project - Congratulations to all of them for their hard work!!

 Or tomorrow you can read the press where you'll find some photos and two or three articles about all the young people from many different High Schools in Granada who have participated in different experiments all enclosed in PIIISA project this year and who have received their prizes and diplomas at the Aula Magna (Science Faculty - Granada University) this morning.

Who are these important people sitting on the front row???
