Best Answer

Most veterinarians do not. Animal testing is a laboratory-based experiment that is tightly regulated and overseen by a veterinarian who has been trained in caring for laboratory animals. There are relatively few lab animal veterinarians, partly because the veterinarian must go through an additional 3-5 years of specialty training and pass a specialized Board Exam before working as a lab animal veterinarian.

What is the best website for animal testing?

This will depend on what you are looking for:1. A good web search for sites against animal testing would be for PETA, HSUS, ALF, etc. These are all special interest groups that are very anti-animal testing.2. A good web search for sites for animal testing would be the American Society of Lab Animal Practitioners (ASLAP, an organization for veterinarians that have specialized in treating and caring for lab animals).3. Good sites debating animal testing are hard to come by - I am not aware of any particular group that is putting up the information in an unbiased fashion.
