According to statistics produced by Kindness for Animals , somewhere between 17-70 million animals are tortured and killed each year through vivisection, the day-to-day of scientifically experimenting on animals.
The highly controversial practice of vivisection has its roots in the interdiction against the dissection of tender corpses. While religious leaders ultimately lifted the bans of being talented to study human corpses, unfortunately, vivisection was already an established method tolerant of in educational and medical institutions. As a result, the practice (which can elicit uncommonly passionate emotions) has not ceased.
The majority of animal lovers loathe the practice, deeming it utterly inhumane. On the other hand, many scientists use vivisection to with extensive research aimed at discovering more effective treatment options and medications for hominid health conditions; they claim that vivisection can save thousands of lives.
Regardless of scientists affirmations that vivisection can and will save lives, the statistics produced by Benignity for Animals are truly eye-opening and disturbing. While the Animal Welfare Act mandates all laboratories to communication the number of animals used experimentally, the act does not require laboratories to account the number of birds, mice and rats used which accounts for 80 to 90 percent of all zoological experiments, which leaves animal welfare groups and concerned bestial lovers in the dark about the precise number of animals who suffer and die (which accounts for the big-hearted gap between 17 million and 70 million in the group's estimate).
