There is no evidence that animal experiments were essential in making major medical advances, and if enough money and resources were devoted to animal-free alternatives, other solutions would be found. (2.) RED = 94%GREEN = 6% The red represents the amount of clinical tests that pass in animals but fail in humans. (5.)*This does not include the percentage of products that pass but have to be relabeleddue to side effects that weren't discovered in the animal tests.
