My Take on Animal Experimentation

I think animal experimentation is never morally justifiable since we have no way of truly knowing whether the animal gives consent for experimentation. It is neither morally justifiable to experiment on another species to compensate for our weakness no matter how minor the pain inflicted upon it is nor is it for the benefit of its own species. However, this does not mean we can not experiment on it. We can sacrifice morality in lieu of acceptability. If the harm or death through experimentation of one ape is necessary to save its species we can do it as long as we are near certain of the intended results.
