Animal experimentation, while an emotive subject and considered by many to be abhorrent, particularly when conducted unnecessarily, is highly unlikely to lead to the extinction of any species, since laboratory animals usually need to be specially bred for this work and bear little relationship to that type of animal in the wild or in a domestic situation. Traditional purpose-bred lab animals such as white or hairless mice, for example, couldn't live in the wild, and don't do well as pets.
Experiments conducted on wild or domestic animals are more likely to be of a non-invasive nature, also unlikely to result in extinction.
Extinction of some species has been, and remains, a result of human intervention in a species' environment, for farming, housing, and so on, or of hunting, neither of which are conducted as legitimate experiments.
The closest example of animal experimentation leading to extinction would be scientific gathering of animals on the verge of extinction by being killed to provide examples of rare species for museums and scientific study. Thankfully this hasn't happened for a century or more, but in its day it was considered scientifically valid.

Do scientist's use endangered animals for animal testing?
There isn't any. To do animal testing, you need quite a lot of animals to get reliable results. What happens to ONE animal, once, might just be random. And if something should be discovered later on, someone might need to go back and repeat the tests. Endangered animals are animals that are rare. Either hard to find, or not many left, or both. Ignoring everything else, it'd simply be hugely impractical to use endangered animals for animal testing.

Are animals losing their home because of animal testing?
No! Animals lose their home due to the building of any new buildings. For an example, if a forest had to be destroyed in order to make the animal testing lab, some animals did lose their homes. But this can apply to any new constuction projects.
What are arguments for and against testing on animals?
Some of the arguments for are that it saves human lives, humans are superior to animals and the animals do not know that its happening. Some of the arguments against animal testing are its cruel to animals, animals have rights as well, you should treat animals the same as humans and theres alternatives out there to animal testing. On one side you have the for the other against. The opposing position against probably says it is nessacary for the animal testing because animals are about the same as humans. On the against position animal testing is wrong because it can cause the animal deadly pain and diseases. But I think there should be a human in the place of an animal because animals have feelings.
