问题     Some people think that the use of animals for experimentation is cruel; others think it is good for the development of science. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

答案     Nowadays, it is quite common to see local residents taking a walk accompanied by their dogs in the community but it is also a prevalent practice to do experiments on animals for the benefit of humans themselves, for example, to test different kinds of cosmetics or the invention of a new medicine.
    Some people can never find themselves in agreement with such practices, especially pet owners or some animal right advocates, for they firmly believe the great pains or deformity undergone by lovely dogs or cats during the experiments are extremely inhumane and unjustifiable, or even immoral because the animals, just like human beings themselves, are created equally by the Creator. Therefore they argue that animals should be treated fairly.
    I fully understand thier deep concerns, for some animals are seriously wounded or disfigured in the experiments (for example, vivisection) and killed afterwards—these imaginable bloody scenes should indeed intrigue great emotional trauma to those pet owners. But I cannot agree that experimenting on animals is immoral. On the contrary, I think, it can be justified by biological morality. By this I mean it is reasonable that animals are subject to human beings because the former are inferior to the latter in the food chain, or the biological hierarchy.
    Of course, reaching the conclusion that animals are inferior to their human counterparts does not necessarily mean they can be used in experiments for any purposes. For example, their use for cosmetic reasons is pointless to me. However, other experiments for scientific research, especially those concerning the innovation of medicine, can be highly justified and necessary, for you cannot imagine a human being used such for experimentation initially.
    So overall, I tend to believe that experimentation on animals is necessary for some scientific purposes but that we should explore new technologies, such as genetics, to reduce the pain animals suffer.
