Did you know that 6,090,000 animals are tested for pharmaceuticals each year?
Pharmaceutical animal testing is when scientists test medicine on animals to see if it is okay for humans to consume, inhale or be injected by.
Pharmaceutical animal testing happens worldwide, and in countries such as Europe, Australia, USA, China, Thailand, New Zealand, Japan, Italy, Malaysia, South Korea and France, this is something that happens daily without notice.
Many pharmacies have made the economic decision to test drugs on animals even though it might be a waste of money to supply the food, water and cages for the animals, including the millions of dollars spent to get the drug approved.
The pharmaceutical industry makes money by selling drugs like as Panadol and Nurofen because many people seek instant pain relief, as it's quick and easy.
The problem is, not only are these products tested on animals, but the question is: If they are feeling pain, shouldn't they should find out what it's coming from, not just numb it with some pain killers?
Some countries choose to import from places such as China because it is cheaper so they can save money to advertise.
Did you know that Australia earns $16.9 a year from selling pharmaceuticals?
Companies test on animals instead of on humans because animals can't sue the testers and it is cheaper, as you might have to pay the participants to get tested on.
As each year, more than 100 million animals, including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds, are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, food, and cosmetics testing.
A few way/s the pharmaceutical industry makes (and wastes) money are:

A few way/s the pharmaceutical industry makes (and wastes) money are:
- Buying the raw materials to make the drugs or medicine for cheap prices, then making the actual pharmaceutical products and selling them for a lot more money (positive)
- Wasting money paying for the breeders, feeders, suppliers and cage manufactures which are all used in the process of animal testing (negative)
- There is a better alternative to buying the animals to be tested on (which is wasting money), when we could have lab-bred animals that are born in laboratory (positive)
- Paying a lot of money in order to get the drug approved, going through long process for creating the drug, testing, collecting information and data, getting the approved and other steps include in the process of pharmaceutical animal testing (negative)
