Animal testing is a waste of time and money

In the United States, the government provides funding for the numerous experiments that are conducted on thousands of animals each day. In fact, the government wastes 14 billion dollars a year for biomedical research. In addition to this large sum of money spent, it costs another 500 million dollars for the product to even become fully approved each year. If it costs this much money to provide research and approve one drug, imagine the surfeit amount of money it costs for one thousand drugs to be tested and approved. It is too much money to even say. While the government pays for this experimentation, it is essentially paying for millions of animals to die. Instead of their money being funded toward animal torture, the money could be better spent by putting it toward a charity or a cure for AIDS. The billions of dollars spent on the torture of animals would be better spent in preventive medicine and education.
