Singer contends that animals may only be used in research and testing if the experiment would also be permitted on humans.

By conducting experiments on animals that would not be allowed on humans, Singer asserts that we practice "speciesism."

As most research and testing on animals is conducted as a precursor to using human subjects, Singer's perspective precludes virtually all research and testing involving animals.
