    Yes it does, but....

    Mother Earth does not belong to humans only, but also many millions and billions of other organisms.
    We protect human rights, so what? Do humans care about other organisms? Very soon, this world will be filled with humans who do not feel for other organisms on this Earth. There must be another way to conduct researches than conducting them on animals. As an expert, I think you will be able to find out an alternative method for research.
    If a human cares about human rights, it shows that the human respects life, therefore, he must respect animals' lives too.
