Why animal testing fails

[Catherine]

The subject of the value of animal testing has been in the news lately. Different disease studies are getting no results form animal testing. I found an article that looks at why animal testing fails to give results.

I don't agree with the conclusion that we should still keep animal testing, but the article itself lays out the reasons why animal testing fails.

We are at the point where we know it doesn't work. Why are we still clinging to it. We are still causing animals to suffer and die even though we know it is pointless.  It is useful to understand why it is pointless.
