- Every year about two and a half million animals are used in scientific experiments in Britain.
Question 1:
Every year about two and a half million animals are used in scientific experiments in Britain. The number has fallen in the last few years but it still provokes the vigorous opposition of defenders of animal rights. The scientists who carry out the experiments justify them by the argument that thousands of people owe their lives to medicines and techniques first evaluated and made safe by animal testing; in their opinion, the benefit for humanity outweighs the inevitable suffering inflicted on animals. _____ . Their contention is that animals have feelings, like us, which ought to be respected. A. However, some thoughtless people are against this because they don't care for human life
B. Logically, each side cites the aspects of the case, likely to have the greatest impact on uncommitted public opinion
C. Then, it may be a better idea to make use of the findings of similar research in other countries
D. Animal rights activists, on the other hand, believe that they should never be subjected to experiments
