Such as, when scientist created a drug to help stop morning sickness for pregnant women that resulted in over ten thousand birth defects and over thousands of fetal deaths around the world; yet, the drug was tested and proven to be safe on multiple animals. In addition, there are alternative methods that are more modern and do not include harming animals.

Studies have shown that the unnatural feeds used to promote growth in animals on factory farms increase the saturated fat content of meat; saturated fat has been linked to heart disease and obesity.

This would not only help the animals that live in factory farms, it would also benefit
