Animal experimentation provides information about unexplored diseases which can lead to cures. One of the main cures they found and still are improving is the SARS virus. " Animal research is crucial in identifying the SARS virus" (Smith). Two of the main animals they use in testing the vaccines for the SARS virus is rats and monkeys. "Monkeys have been used to positively identify the SARS virus" (Smith). It has helped cure other diseases not just the SARS virus. "Animal research has produced vaccines for polio, tetanus, and scarlet fever, insulin for diabetes and antibiotics to fight infections" (Monagle). If we are not exploring these treatments and seeing if they will be successful or not we wouldn't have any cures for diseases and more people would be dead. The only way to advance our knowledge in these diseases is if we test the treatment on animals.
