White-tailed deer & animal protection

In my opinion it would actually be more ethical to experiment on willing human volunteers than on animals which cannot either object or consent to such actions. It is just rather controversial, and the fact that we have been experimenting on animals since ancient times, is seen as a reason/excuse to carry on doing it, while beginning to experiment on humans would represent in a change of approach and will be met by opposition from those who dislike change in general. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_test…The earliest references to animal testing are found in the writings of the Greeks in the second and fourth centuries BCE. Aristotle (???????????) (384-322 BCE) and Erasistratus (304-258 BCE) were among the first to perform experiments on living animals.[12] Galen, a physician in second-century Rome, dissected pigs and goats, and is known as the "father of vivisection."[13] 2 years ago Yep. It would also be more practicle since animals don't all react in the same ways…so just because it works in a pig doesn't mean it will in a human…
