What is the history of animal testing?

Well actually, it was on a Russian dog named Laika. They sent her into space so the humans could find out if anyone could survive in space with the right tools and equipment.

It dated back to the 18th century.

Aristotle) (384-322 BCE) and Erasistratus (304-258 BCE) were among the first to perform experiments on living animals. Galen, a physician in second century Rome, dissected pigs and goats.

However, this was just dissecting to discover more about animals. actual experimenting on animals began in 1558 when someone tested a medicine against flu on a pig who was found to have similar hearts to us. Since then, there have been campaigns to stop animal testing.

People didn't realise that animals don't have the same organs as us. what works on them wont work on us. people have to realise that. this is pure cruelty. it is a crime killing a live animal for reasons like makeup. animal testing is bad
