Animal research? Good or Bad?

I found multiple things interesting about animal research. The one that stick out the most is how abolitionist and their tactics to scare researchers from continuing research, by doing things such as vandalizing their homes and cars. Researchers are not killing these animals out of hate, they are simply doing these researches and tests to benefit the human race from diseases also to understand the relationship between brain activity and behavior. If results are found this can prevent future violence between humans possibly creating a more peaceful world. Even though there is a huge debate between using and not using animals for these kinds of research, it is meaningful for not only humans but animals as well. Some animals carry the disease called AIDS, if researchers can find a cure for this disease then they can not only save humans but other animals as well and prevent extinction. Finding cures can help give more time with loved ones who are sick especially children that are born with diseases. These innocent kids deserve a chance to live life not fight for it. I do see the side of where these abolitionist are coming from but someone has to pay the price, just like our troops who go and fight for our freedom. Without or armed forces, none of us would have the freedom that we have today and these me and women pay the price. Nothing comes free whether we would like to believe that it does it doesn't. These animals are not dying for nothing, they are dying for a good cause. Nobody can live forever but if we can help find a way to prevent the things that do kill us so that we may spend the most amount of time with our loved ones as we can.
