Animal models should be abandoned because the scientific methodology of the experiment was poor.

Poor methodology in some experiments doesn’t invalidate all animal research. It’s about improving experimental design, not eliminating the entire approach.

Historically, medical dependence on animal modeling is much less robust than we are led to believe.

Historical use of animal modeling doesn’t measure current validity. We need modern scientific knowledge and methodology to evaluate today’s animal models.

Review articles have determined that certain animal species have not been critical in various medical developments, and therefore animal experimentation should be abolished.

The failure of some species in certain studies doesn’t rule out all animal models. The effectiveness varies across different contexts and species.

The existence of alternative models requires us to abandon animal research.

Alternatives are promising but not yet comprehensive. We should continue using animal models where alternatives aren’t available while supporting further development of alternatives.
