Unfortunately, yes. In a lot of countries, animal testing is illegal/banned but in many countries it is still carried on :( World Peace charities are trying to make it banned by 2015, which, although is quite a way away, it will eventually be stopped :)

What animal is the most endangered in the US in 20th century for product testing?
Doesn't work like that. For animal testing, you need lots of animals. And endangered animals are by definition animals that you can't get lots of. So endangered animals aren't used in animals testing. Animals used in animal testing are species like rats, rabbits, dogs, some species of monkeys. All animals that can be easily bred in captivity. And not at all endangered as a specie.
Where do animal testing labs get the animals?
might come from a pound, picked up as a stray, or stolen- sad to say This is not really very true. The majority of animals are purpose-bred by laboraties for use in animal testing, or by specialist breeders. Some animals are still taken from the wild, although it is illegal to use wild-caught primates in Europe for animal testing.

How does animal testing affect today's world?
Animal Testing is where doctors figure out new medicines, or treatments for humans but the way they test it is on animals. For example monkeys because monkeys are our closest animal "descendent". It affects todays world in a good way because if humans got tested then they would die if the treatment wasn't stable, but it is not fair for the millions of animals that have to die to save humans lives when most humans abuse animals anyway. If you would like to see what scientists and doctors do you can go to Youtube and type in Cat on LSD. That is what scientists do to animals, cruel things such as that.
