Animal Experimention
key words: animal experimentation, testing, research, vivisection, cosmetic, biomedical
Note: It is really easy to find sources against animal experimentation, especially from organizations like PETA. Remember that these organizations have a bias-- and make sure the resources you are using come from the most credible and established non-profit organizations (like PETA or NEAVS) and not personal blogs. Make sure to also consult organizations on the opposite side, like Understanding Animal Research
