Furthermore, many of the animals used for lab testing are dogs and cats – the same animals humans keep as pets and, eventually, bond with as family members. Animal testing should be banned if for no other reason than the fact that few of us would volunteer our cats, dogs, or other pets as lab subjects. When considering whether or not one is in favor of, or against animal testing, they should consider whether or not they would allow their own pets to be experimented on in the same ways.
