Generally, before experiments on animals are conducted, the research protocol must be reviewed by animal ethics committees. ... Second, there must be a reduction in the number of animals used.

Ethical Problems. Animal experimentation, by its very nature, takes a considerable toll on animals' lives as sentient beings. In most cases, researchers attempt to minimize the pain and distress experienced by animals in laboratories; but suffering is, nonetheless, inherent to animal-based research and testing.
