What is another word for animal testing?
Pronunciation: [ˈanɪmə͡l tˈɛstɪŋ] (IPA) 
Alternative terms for "animal testing" include "animal experimentation", "vivisection", "animal research", or "animal studies". These more neutral phrases are often used to describe the practice of using animals in scientific research. However, many animal rights activists argue that these terms do not accurately convey the true nature of animal testing and that the use of live animals in research is cruel and unnecessary. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards using alternative methods such as computer models, cell cultures and in vitro testing, as a way of reducing the need for animal testing in scientific research.
