1. Each animal possesses rights to not be subjected to harm.
In the Philippines, there is an Animal Welfare Act passed in 1998 which covers facilities used for breeding, maintaining, keeping, treating, or training all animals as objects of trade and household and does not include animal research.
2. Research can be done without experimenting on living creatures.

In their study, Kinsner-Ovaskainen et al. (2009) enumerated the benefits of not using animal testing but rather applying alternative non-animal research methods which includes: “a) increase the efficiency and effectiveness of hazard and risk assessments; b) minimise costs; and c) reduce, replace and refine animal testing where possible, while at the same time ensuring a sufficient protection of human health and the environmental” (p. 2).
3. Animals and humans are never the same.
1. People will die if these test will be conducted to humans.
As former UK Home Office minister Joan Ryan pointed out, “Animal research and testing has played a part in almost every medical breakthrough of the last century. It has saved hundreds of millions of lives worldwide...”
2. Animals do not have HUMAN rights.
