 Nowadays, it is very common that animals are used to do experiments in different areas of science such as medicine. However, this doesn't mean that these experiments are correct. Moreover, these experiments involve many different kinds of animals like rats, frogs, chickens, rabbits... This is a very controversial topic and there are different opinions about it.

On the one hand, there are people who support these experiments as long as they do some things. Animals have rights too, so these experiments should be done trying to respect them. Furthermore, they have to be done trying to make the animal suffer as little as possible and die in a decent way. Besides, the studies that require experimentation on animals are only those that are going to do some kind of good to humans.

On the other hand, there are people who disagree with this at all. Animal rights extremists often portray those who experiment on animals as being so cruel as to have forfeited any own moral standing. Moreover, you cannot prove that the suffering of those animals is going to be compensated with the improvement of human life, because the life of an animal, either a mouse or a frog, has value, just like a human life.

In short, experimentation on small or large animals is a huge moral dilemma and everyone has a different view about it. In addition, there are many debates about this. From my point of view, these experiments are wrong and I am not in favour of them because I don't agree with animal suffering. Besides, animals are often used in sectors such as cosmetics, and I think that killing animals just to do make-up is a horrible thing. In my opinion, scientists should look for other methods to test their products, such as on plants.
