Because they receive a large portion of their funding from the government and the government does not classify animals as having the same rights as humans. Also, as sad as animal testing is, you cannot argue against the millions upon millions of lives it has saved.

What cures have you found from animal testing?

I haven't done any applied research with animal testing, although I have done basic research with them in the past. However, every drug and medication that is on the market today has had animal testing. Antibiotics, Pain Meds, Heart Meds, etc. Certainly animal research also includes basic research and not every test will result in a marketable drug.


What companies administer pre employment drug testing?

Any company can administer pre-employment drug testing as long as it is done for every person looking to be hired. Most private-sector employers do not do this due to costs. They instead have random drug screenings for those already employed by the company. Some specific federal jobs require that screening take place before by law.

Where are some of the animal testing labs?

Pretty much anywhere that needs products or compounds tested. Universities have animal testing for a variety of purposes, to evaluate the effect of nutritional and behaviorial protocols, along with potential drug testing. Also universities have animal-testing to develop genetic modification protocols. Corporations also conduct animal testing. Drug companies have to prove that their drugs are safe on animals before the FDA will allow them to test the drugs on humans. Cosmetics companies also have labs to test the amount of irritation and toxicity of their products. Pet food companies also conduct testing to determine the best formulas for animal food products. While cosmetics companies have come under fire for the amount of suffering inflicted on animals for the testing of products which seem to have minimal health risks or benefits to people, remember that the majority of animal testing puts animals in no more pain and suffering than if they were raised for food. Laboratory animals are typically euthanized at the end of their productive lifespans, usually by carbon dioxide gas or injection, much as you would put down a pet.

what employers do not do drug testing?

If the job you want is administrative, then perhaps you will find a company that does not do drug testing. Companies that operate any sort of mechanical equipment, caretaking, legal and others are more likely to drug test. Generally, if you want to get--and keep--a great job, you need to get off of the drugs.
