If the scientist is experimenting on animals, and what he is doing doesn’t really have a purpose then we shouldn’t allow the scientist to keep experimenting if he is not trying to cure a bad disease or doing something that will benefit more people besides him.

The type of pain he puts them through is not fair, because the animals don’t have an option if they could do this or not do this they’re just forced to do
