Animal & Primate Experimentation - Cruelty or "Science"?

The use of animals, including primates, in medical research is an horrific, cruel practice, condemning the animal to a life of terror and frequently excruciating pain, yet this practice of animal experimentation, particularly primate experimentation, is considered acceptable by humans. Why do we as humans place so little value on the lives of animals, showing such disregard for animal rights?

Animal Torture ... In The Name of Science?

Every year globally over 115 milllion animals, including primates, are subjected to experiments and despite the fact that we believe they are necessary for medical research, studies confirm that nearly two thirds of these experiments have absolutely nothing to do with advancing human medicine or curing human diseases.
