Due to animal rights campaigns, many places now have regulations to provide more space and better living conditions for hens in the egg - producing industry.
One of the well - known success stories is Dolly the sheep. She was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. This was a huge milestone in cloning technology.
One success story is the development of penicillin. Initial animal testing on mice showed its effectiveness against bacterial infections. This led to further research and ultimately its use in treating a wide range of human diseases. Without animal testing, we might not have had this life - saving antibiotic.
One success story is about a dog that was severely malnourished when rescued by the RSPCA. After proper care and treatment, it regained its health and found a loving forever home.

It's an example of how adoption can change the lives of many animals at once.
Recently, there have been success stories in gene - editing research using animals. For example, in pigs, scientists have been able to edit genes to make their organs more suitable for transplantation into humans. This could potentially solve the problem of organ shortage in the future.
One success story could be a dog that was once very shy and scared at the Islip Animal Shelter. After some time with the caring staff and volunteers, it became friendly and confident. It was then adopted by a loving family and now enjoys a happy life, going on hikes and playing in the yard.
The Arabian oryx was once extinct in the wild.
