∙ 12y agoIt depends on the type of testing the animal was part of:
1. Some animal testing requires the animals to be killed as part of the experiment; the animals are killed in a humane manner (such as injectable euthanasia).
2. Some animal testing covers the life span of the animal, such as in longevity studies (there was a really nice one from Purina showing dogs kept at a healthy weight all their lives live on average two years longer than overweight dogs) - the study doesn't end until the animal dies, but it is not deliberately killed.
3. Some animal testing is for a specific period of an animal's life, after which it may be adopted or retired to live the rest of its life in comfort. A good portion of animal testing that is done on non-rodents (such as dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.) is handled like this.

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.
