A growing number of people feel that animals should not be exploited by people and that they should have the same rights as humans, while others argue that humans must employ animals to satisfy their various needs, including uses for food and research.

Nowadays, animals experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products or uses for food. The viewpoint of these experiments should be banned because it is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer, I would have to support that in favour of them because of their benefits to humanity.
On the one hand, animals are used in important scientific research. For instance, it is necessary to do medical tests using new drugs. Animal testing help to advance medical and scientific knowledge and many important medical discoveries involved experimentation on animals so researchers aim to minimize the suffering that animals experience. However, testing on animals for the cosmetics industry is now banned by many countries.
Furthermore, in many places, meat is the main ingredient in traditional meals. Meat-eaters argue that animals are below humans in the food chain. It is completely natural for us to kill them for food. Our aim should be improved about farming methods. For example, farms should produce organic food such as chicken, duck, pig, beef.
On the other hand, The benefits of research using animals do not justify the suffering caused, because there are alternative methods of research. In addition, the lives of animals should be respects. Humans have no moral right to experiments on animals. Many people choose a vegetarian diet for moral or health reasons. It is unnecessary to kill animals for food.
In conclusion, it seems to me that it would be wrong to ban eating wild animals and testing on animals for vital medical research until equally effect alternatives have been developed.
