Animal testing has been labeled as cruel and inhumane by many animal rights activist groups. These groups say that "many animals were infected with diseases that many of the species would not contract naturally (Stop Animal Tests). For example, animals have been used to cure SARS virus and to experiment with new transplants that are too risky to test on humans (ANZCCART). There have been many laws past in the United States limiting the extents in which these practices can be put into use (The Humane Society of the United States). There is also an ethical problem with testing products on animals because thid involves intentionally poisoning animals for the advancement of the products safety (The Humane Society of the United States). The product is applied to the animals, and the scientists observe to see if it causes convulsions, labored breathing, diarrhea, skin eruptions, that have the potential to do serious damage to the animals (Animal Testing). This is one of the most controversial subjects in America today.
