Recently, actor couple Huo Siyan and Du Jiang did a heartwarming deed: they adopted a retired experimental Beagle and named it "Pearl." This touching act has garnered widespread attention and discussion on social media. Huo Siyan shared that Pearl is a 10-year-old Beagle who spent a long time as a lab animal.

Pearl's story has brought many people closer to the reality of experimental animals for the first time. It prompts us to consider: In an era of advanced technology, why do we still need animal experiments? What types of experimental animals are there?
