Don’t blame Dr. Oz for experiments on animals

Don’t shoot the messenger. Political ads show Dr. Oz and dogs used for medical experiments. Every treatment, cure and advancement of a surgical procedure or new drug started out as a theory that then had to be scientifically proven. Tests are done on animals for obvious reasons before being performed on a human. Dr. Oz may have helped your grandparents, parents, siblings and/or children to live a better, longer and painless life. Face it, we have all probably been affected positively by an animal experiments. Don’t shoot the messenger who advanced medicine.
